Go for 2 monkey pile

[Harlan Huckleby]

If you kick the extra point you are down 8. If you attempt the 2 point conversion and fail you are down 9 = that is 2 scores.

Thanks for that clarification.

You are kicking the extra point to avoid the difficulty of going for two. OK, but in order to count the 8 points as "a single score", you still have convert a 2-point play, you've just delayed the pain.

So now all you need to do is acknowledge that trailing by two in a close game was very likely if they tried the conversion, and that sucks for it's own reasons, and could have bit them in the ass too.

Trailing by 2 does not suck much more than trailing by 1. They both are overcome by a field goal.

Tying the score is MUCH better than trailing by 1, you preserve a shot at overtime in the case that the teams trade scores.

Go for the brass ring, for christ's sake.

Not really. The conversion success rate is 47%. That's almost a coin flip. That's better than the percentage of kicking XP + making defensive stop + marching into scoring position + executing score, I am sure.

That is the League wide average. Not the Packers chances of success.

no kidding. But that's not the point. The point is all about probabilities and guessing which will work out

of course. No difference, unless the other team scores a TD. Then you're fucked.

The Packers success rate is 0% this season (0 for 4).
