Go for 2 monkey pile

HH forgets the two FG CHI scenario in his analysis.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Take that in the chops Packerrats.

BTW, I am making pork chops today. Not because I care about the chops, for some reason I've been obsessing about sauerkraut, this is excuse to make it. I LOVE sauerkraut, haven't made it for years. By "make" I mean open a jar.

its the 2 FG + safety you have to account for

[Rodgers12]

I agree with Harlan. Have to take your shot when the opportunity presents itself.

OK then....

And that ends the conversation!

Somebody explain how it is smart to kick an extra point when you are down by 2 in 4th quarter, relatively low scoring game at that point

Now... Let's make this cake again.

[bobblehead]

The fact that time is winding down means you ought to go for the two points.

This obsession with nine points is too much, it's just one scenario. Even if you keep within 8 as result of kicking the point (big if, the Bears might wisely go for 2 themselves), you still leave yourself with the burden of scoring a two point play to close gap.
And what if the Bears come back with a field goal? With that relatively easy feat, they force you to score a touchdown to beat um. A chance to even the score is worth foregoing a sure 1 in a close game.

But again, if you fail to get it and the bears come back with a FG, then you score a TD to get the lead, there was a lot of time left. The bears then could have beaten you with a FG instead of tying you. So in the end, I see that concern a push.

Yep, even HH probably will concede he is wrong now.

In that case, you go for 2 again; if you convert, they would tie you with only a FG.

It's the 4th qtr. Down 8, you have to try to even up the game ASAP; you might not get another chance.

Anybody watched Dallas-Philly? Garrett made the right decision to go for two. Execute and game would've been tied and Orton would've been under less pressure to move Dallas on their last drive.

Gotta take your shot when the opportunity presets itself.

[pbmax]

Too much time left. What was left on the clock when Garrett went for 2?

Gamebook says 3:57.

[Rutnstrut]

My take on it, FIRE CAPERS!!!!

[Rodgers12]

Put it this way: What's easier?

Go for two from the 2 to tie the game, especially when the game is in the 4th quarter.

Or

Kick EP AND then have your defense to make a stop AND then have your offense march into scoring position.
