    How did Broncos not go for 2?

    ????????????

    Do Tebow and coach not believe in science/numbers?

    Not going for two was the right call, it is too early.

    Yeah its too early for that. It would have been a bad call if they went for 2.

    Numbers say not to go for 2 in the third quarter.

    Apparently being down 4 instead of 3 makes no difference to you guys?

    only squares believe "it's too early" because the announcer tells them so

    Denver might not get in the endzone for the rest of the game, needed the tie there when you can get it

    normally, you have to assume your team and the other team are both scoring TDs in order to not go for 2

    Case 1: You go for it and miss. Down by 2. If Vikings score a TD you are down 9 (two scores).
    Case 2: You don't go for it. Down by 1. If Vikings score a TD you are down by 8. You will have to go for 2 now anyways. If you miss, then you're still down another score.

    Case 3: You go for it and get it. Tie game.
    Case 4: You don't go for it now but go for it later and get it. Still tie game.

    So unless you have evidence that 4th quarter 2 pt conversions are somehow easier to accomplish . . .

    you NEVER go for 2 until you absolutely have to no need to go for 2 on either of the past 2 td's gl

    with that logic, go for 2 in the 1st quarter then

    answer this simple question: if the broncos didn't go for 2 on either of the last 2 td's would the game have ended right then and there? gl

    now if Minny even gets a fg, Den will need a td.

    Arguement goes both ways.

    Going for the2 is the correct call.

    All about keeping it a one possession game.

    you NEVER go for 2 unless you absolutely have to - i.e. the game would essentially end unless you convert the 2. gl

    if Minn kicks a FG here, Den is down by 4 instead of potentially 3

    missing or making the 2 with 2:00 left in the 3rd vs. missing or making it with 5:00 left in the 4th makes no difference

    obscure scenarios like opp FG --> your TD --> opp FG = tie game are the only thing that would mkae no 2 attempt worth it

    not going for 2 in the 2nd half is the biggest false consensus belief in all of sports.

    how does not going for 2 look just 4 minutes after the TD? Real possibility it ends a 1 point game

    different scenarios with FGs support going for 2 and not

    whats known for sure is about a 50% chance to be a tie game vs. down by 2 with 11 minutes left

    not really

    must be some magic that going for 2 in the 3rd Q has a lower conversion chance than going for 2 in the 4th. makes no difference when it happens or doesnt happen in the 2nd half

    now assume a FG instead of the MINN TD that just happened. 4pt game instead 3 = fuked
    assume no more scores 1 pt game instead of tie = fuked

    sheep believe in not going for 2 because the talking heads say so

    They still didnt absolutely have too!

    There is no difference betwee them going this time verse last TD.

    There is still plenty of time left, they DID NOT ABSIOLUTELY HAVE TO.

    So you are just a clueless hypocrite.

    Fox wanted to go for two, AGAIN.

    As the 2nd-coming, Tebow trumped the Head Coach and made the 2-pt decision.
