  • When to Go For Two

    I expect complete agreement on the findings.

    “I can’t help but ask, one day many years later, when you find your previous awareness, cognition and choices are all wrong, will you keep going along the wrong…



    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    And before you remember it, the Packer 2 point decision at Arizona in the playoff game was even more unusual than a normal end of game situation shown here by the down -1 after a TD.

    The was NO time left on the clock. That eliminates Arizona's offense as a calculation in regular time. If there was 20 seconds left, Arizona being down 1 or 0 will change their plan when they get the ball back. With no time left, you just need to assess you chances of making a 2 point play, a PAT and your chances in OT.

    If you doubt me, check here for the simple math: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features...e-school-math/

      There's no reason to doubt you for a second. I think half the time coaches just go for the extra 2 points just for the hell of it. When you're getting blown out you may as well try it for practice sakes.

        I think when they moved the kicking distance back, they envisioned a helluva lot more going for two. I kinda like what Pittsburgh - and seemingly nobody else - occasionally does - just going for two even when the chart doesn't call for it. If a team scores 5 TDs in a game and kicks 1s for all, they score 35 points. If that team scores 5 TDs and has 3 successful 2 point conversions and fails on two, they score 36 points. A team like the Packers SHOULD be able to design plays to score two at least 60% of the time.
        What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

          Except I don't think anyone has been able to hit 60% beyond the odd season or two.
