Holy Hell.
There was almost 13 minutes left in the game geniuses. The only time you go for two is when you're so desperate for points that you are hoping that you can stop the other team from scoring again in order to win the game. With 13 minutes left there is plenty of time for both teams to score more points. If I have to offer any proof, just look how the game actually turned out. We missed the conversions and damn near lost the game because of it, yet you sit here as if that was some kind of fluke occurrence that they were in a position to kick a FG. If you're not asking yourself "Ok, what is the score going to be if the other team kicks a FG" then you simply aren't thinking like a football coach should be thinking.
With 13 minutes left, we go down by 4, they kick a FG, we can still tie the game with a TD. You miss the XP there and we go down by 5, now we need a TD and 2pt conversion just to get back to where we should have been in the first place.
If you think we should have gone for 2 there because it would have put us down by only 3 and we could tie the game with a FG, then you should be screaming for us to go for 2 every time in that circumstance...even in the 2nd quarter because it makes just as much sense. Sorry if a little more insight into how football games actually play out doesn't jive with your grade-school caveman math skills.
