re: Do people REALLY not understand why you go for two after the first TD when down 15?

makes perfect sense.

You're down by 15 when you score a touchdown with 3 minutes left or whatever, so you're now down by 9. You can kick the extra point or go for two. If you kick the extra point you're now down by 8, which means the game's not over and all you have to do is get the ball back and you have the possibility of tying it

How does this make sense to you? The odds of making it don't go up on the 2nd TD.

If you decide to go for two and fail, then the game's over right there because you're not getting the ball back twice with 3 minutes left in the game

Ok, so the only way to make that comparison right there a fair one is to then tell me the odds of winning when you go for 2 and fail after the 2nd TD.
