Why did Falcons go for 2?

Kicking extra point would have made it 10 pt game.
No trust kicka?

I couldn’t figure that out either.

They were hoping for a scenario where they'd be going for the win in that final drive. Highly unlikely but almost happened.

I think Quinn is just fricking stupid.

That made no sense. Still trying to figure out the math. What's the advantage of a 9 point game?

Quinn had who dats -7

The FG made sense, the 2 point conversion was dumb

And if you're really trying to win, you don't kick a field goal on FIRST DOWN with TWO MINUTES TO PLAY to get within EIGHT.

Didn’t make a difference anyway

Chance of getting a two point conversation is greater than 50%. The logic down 14 is you will get at least 1 of them. If you get the first, you can go for the win at the end. I guess the logic applies to 17 as well.
I'm not saying I completely get it, but the numbers back up the decision.

HOW?! You need a touchdown regardless, plus another score, and you're on the fricking 25 yard line with 2 minutes left. Why not throw to the endzone 3 times then kick?

What? It takes out going to OT.

Cause that wastes time.

BUT THEY DIDN'T NEED A 2 PT CONVERSION.

Kicking a FG on 1st down at the 25 is an absolute waste of the time you spent getting there.

If you really want to avoid overtime, save the 2 pt attempt until the end when you're down 1.
I just find it hard to justify that early 2 pt try as an attempt to win without overtime, ESPECIALLY considering they followed it up with a FG on FIRST DOWN, which locked them in to absolutely needing a touchdown + 2 just to force OT.
I mean, it's just mind-boggling. We just scored, let's go for 2 so we can win with another TD + FG, followed immediately by we can win this with 2 TDs, let's kick a fricking FG right now on 1st down so we have to score a TD+2 just to tie.

They had all three TO left. They could’ve kicked off, held the Saints and still had 90 seconds left. It really looked like a smart play after the onside kick.
If you don’t agree fine. But it seems line it saved them time.
But I repeat, the original 2 point attempt was dumb.
