There is a belief than NFL coaches will make the wrong mathematical decisions in favor of a decision that keeps their team "in the game" the longest.
Like if they're down by 15 with 5 to go, they'll kick an XP, even thought you'll have to get a 2 PT conversion eventually. Math says go for it asap, that way you know your predicament and can possibly adjust accordingly. Conventional coaching kicks the XP first.

This happens all the time. It's just blatant common sense that you go for 2 early, because if you miss it you can adjust your gameplan.
Going for it late and missing it, you instantly lose and have no chance to adjust.
Yet people STILL don't get it. The depth of brainwashing when it comes to conventional football "strategy" is deep.

It's usually met with most disagreeing, Boom being the loudest.

That’s a different scenario than the one in last night game. in that scenario it would be the right call to kick that XP.
