colin Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 dang, that almost got touched back!! now we need a nice 99yard td!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 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.

Anon Y. Mous Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkman Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 wow, CBS is really trying to get the commercials in now Making up for lost time, they want the revenue. 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 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. Yeah, its too big of a risk to potentially lose if SD got 2 FG instead of go to OT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I guess only scoring 2 TDs in 3 quarters means it was the right call then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Y. Mous Posted October 19, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
