Are you serious? Neither would move the line even half a point. Brady and, to lesser extent, Allen are the only players that would move the line if they were out.

They probably should, although there are always times when the percentages would dictate kicking, such as when a 1-point kick gives you the lead, or gives you a two-score advantage.

It’s a violent game

According to the article, it’s pretty much a wash. Pederson might have info that suggests eagles are better than average at two point conversions.

No, actually, they don’t.

No, he’s just playing the percentages.

Not at all. If they kicked the extra point, GB probably would have just gone for two themselves.

Not sure where you got that chart or how old it is, but it’s rubbish, especially for a team like Philly. NFL teams convert just under 50 percent of two-point conversions. Kickers miss about 6 percent of extra point kicks. The math favors going 2 almost every time. In this case, the downside is minimal and the upside is big: go up by two scores if you convert, and even if you fail, you’re still up by 7 and GB will at best tie you if they score another TD.

Why?

If by “worst” they really mean “best”, then sure...

Hard to tell for sure, but I think he’s growing more comfortable and confident and now realizes that sometimes “safe” decisions lose games.

It was a great call and one McDermott definitely would not have made in year one. He’s learning.

Yes, but not just Metcalf. McLaurin (also a great special teamer), AJ Brown, Mecole Hardman, Parris Campbell...

There were guys like that available in round two this year...

You were unaware of it because it’s not true. The OP was counting preseason games. ?

Did you not watch the end of the game?

In year one, I think McDermott kicks the FG. I’m pretty sure he was going for the TD yesterday. Good for him. Loved the two-point conversion call, too.

Anyone else hate the term “chunk play”?

Coulda been ours

But the Redskins have drafted a lot of really good defensive linemen the past 4 or five years...

Good-bye Gruden...

Great game...

If what Knox did wasn’t a penalty, then they might as well just repeal that rule...He pretty much bludgeoned the defender with his helmet.

“Lining up” the defender is not part of the rule. Lowering your head to initiate contact with the defender is. I defy anyone to watch that replay and tell me that Knox did not lower his helmet to initiate contact with that defender. The Bills were lucky it wasn’t called.

I loved the play, but does anyone else wonder why Knox was not flagged for lowering his helmet into the defender? I'm pretty sure that's a penalty these days...Haven't heard anyone mention it, though.
