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

Which is why it's smarter to not go for two until you absolutely have to.

That's the point of the argument. You're always going to have to go for two. Why is it smarter to do it later than earlier? People will argue that you have momentum, but there can also be nerves that come into play. Going for 2 with 5 minutes left may feel like a normal play to the offense, and they can relax. Going for 2 with 20 seconds left is the game.
