When to Go For Two

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

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.Originally posted by texaspackerbacker View PostI think when they moved the kicking distance back, they envisioned a helluva lot more going for two.
