Hate to be the bearer of bad news
You get to a pt any score , the opposing team can't win
+8 is a tie minimum

9 puts them away. They are always aggressive. Seems to be working.

Watched Philly coach up 4 , go for 2 today. 6 is useless
I was thinking you fool
Atlanta scores a TD, you'd be down 2 with an extra pt, a FG wins.
Tomlin goes for 4 today
Coaches are pathetic

Was the right call. NE is NOT going to go for the win even if you are just up 7. You don't risk losing the game by going for 2 and not getting it but you gain the chance of going up by 9 and them not being able to tie

Just what the Low Rating NFL needed today
Dallas Pitt game
Follow-up with Seattle bringing hope to the league that the Pats aren't guaranteed Superbowl winners
Imagine that

I liked the call
7 tie game
Extra point makes billy go for 2 almost guaranteed
2 point conversion almost a guaranteed win making NE kick an on-side kick

this has happened a couple times this year now and I think it's because the extra point is not always a gimme now. I don't mind the decision

If you don't understand why going for 2 is the right decision, you are probably making a ton of stupid decisions in life because you don't have a clue about odds/math

You should automatically be fired as a head coach if you had 8 in the bag... and you're trying to go up 9 on a 2 pt conversion.
Fukking nuts
New England let's them off the hook. Can't believe New England didn't score at the end.

Why is an 8 point lead that big? You realize your going against Tom Brady and NE right? If they score 6 late, momentum would be crazy at home and you wouldn't stop them anyway. Either way you do NOT lose the game so why not try to win it OUTRIGHT right then?

Good call. Either put them away now or be forced to stop Gronk at co at the 2 yards line. Carrol made the right call in that situation.

What's useless is 5 -which is what they would have had by kicking the extra point. Extra points are missed every week. Speaking of the Atlanta game- I'll tell what was idiotic was Atlanta calling a timeout with 2:01 on the clock - virtually wasting the timeout because of the 2 minute warning. I see horrible calls every week!!

Going for 2 up 7 is almost as dumb as throwing a fukin fade on 4th and goal from the 1

Why? You aren't risking getting beat and you are giving yourself a chance to win the game outright. It isn't a bad decision

The Atlanta coach calling timeout at 2:01 was incredibly foolish.
Pete Carroll's decision was dumb.
Mike Tomlin chasing the first missed two pointer was dumb and may have cost Pitt the win.

Actually you are , Wow
Again, concept of football is not to lose , best possible position to win.
Going up 8 with a 99.9% extra pt, puts yourself in position, if Pats score , no possible way in hell they can win outright. No way except to convert a 2 pt attempt that's under 50% and 0 and 7 on Sunday just to prove a point that it's not easy to convert in the NFL.
Now , the conversion failed .
Pats have a possibly to score and got for 2 for a W.
And let me guess ? But they won't ?
You don't know that and tell that to the Saints when Oakland did it this year .
Can't believe for a guy investing people money , you can't understand that being up 8 is way better than being up 7 .

Since the team is seattle in this case you go for 1, seattles strength is their d
They have a bigger adv defending the 2 than trying to convert it against the New England D
If your team is New Orleans, San Diego, go for 2 these teams would let NE go down the field
and make the 2 point conversion
And passing on the 1 yard line when you have a really good goal line back is not good
no send your 5'9 qb to throw 2 yard ins in traffic

It doesn't make a shit the team , it's an anology
It's probabilities
Up 8 , probability of a loss with a score is Zero
Up 7 , probability of a loss with a score > 0

the fact you think the extra point is 99.9% just invalidates every argument you have.

Lol at comparing what Oakland did early in the year to something the pats may do. 0 chance they would ever go for 2, and if there was a chance, there's a greater chance of Seattle missing the extra point than pats going for 2

Going by 9 would make it even more difficult. The seahawks have a 84% success rate on extra points. You can end the game right there going for 2 or if you fail, the other team will more than likely be satisfied trying to tie the game. Ask any pats fan, at the moment, if they wanted seattle to go for 2. 8 points deficit, his team still has a chance. 9 point lead, they are going to bed.
