RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 TheChimp said: Yeah, so far I haven't seen a convincing argument as to why that would have been a bad decision. John Adams' explanation, as cohesive and professorial as it was, didn't help me understand all that much. 6 is better than 5, and at this stage it is better to take the guaranteed 6 than risk only being up by 5. You do not have to agree, but that is the logic. Many coaches also have a rule of thumb: no 2 point conversions before the 4th quarter, it is not worth the risk.

Mous Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 John Adams said: And if they fail, SD takes the lead with 2 FGs AND if they score a TD, they take the lead and go for 2, to take a lead by a FG. Too early to think about 2 there. that shows no confidence in the offense or defense.. you are assuming they miss the 2 pt conversion... SD scores on two more plays and the Bills don't score again

Too bad they owe us more than revenue. CBS is a large company. I'm still stuck on why they did not have the generators running or generators at all. ESPECIALLY when they new there was an issue BEFORE the GAME!

Yeah, its too big of a risk to potentially lose if SD got 2 FG instead of go to OT...

Except when you're playing a team that seems to have no real problem scoring touchdowns on you. Thyen it seems that the sensible call is to protect against their next TD becoming the game-winning points.....I wonder what John Madden would say.

Edit: it is overturned... is it still a "sensational play" Sylvester?

I guess only scoring 2 TDs in 3 quarters means it was the right call then.
Anon Y. Mous Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 This is all matter of opinion... and yes many coaches use the rule of thumb not to go for it before the 4th quarter. I'll take my expletive out of my original question, but still whole heartedly say you go for it with little to lose
TheChimp Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 WHERE is the goal line camera angle on that play??????
