That was my basic takeaway from the OP and what he was saying, so maybe that's the disconnect. I approached it from a "you have two possessions left and are down 15, so on one of them you'll need to convert the 2PC." Maybe that's due to me joining the thread too late.

No worries, this is one of my MSB hills I like to die on for some reason.

FWIW, I understand everything that you're saying/arguing, I just don't agree that most of it is relevant to the discussion (or at least my interpretation of it). Because in my argument, having to score a third time = losing the game due to not having enough time left.

If you truly only have time for 1 more possession when you score to go down 9, I get the idea of why you may want to kick, but the reality of that is, if you truly only have 1 possession left for the offense then it really doesn't matter. The moment that 2pt conversion is missed, the game is 100% over in your scenario so I just don't see how it matters if you only have 1 possession left.

Wish I'd have seen this thread earlier.

I'm glad I caught it early lol.

I dunno if it’s a “hill to die on” because you’re not wrong. It’s just two different approaches but to kick first is the higher percentage play. Pat, then 2pt is a 95% then 45% strategy. The other approach is 45% then 22% so it’s clear going for 2 first is a much bigger gamble.
