    Why did Atlanta go for two when they were down 8?

    Can't remember seeing that before?

    They all do now. Been doing it for a few years. Except coaches who don’t use analytics

    2 chances at 2
    XP not automatic
    Don’t want OT after coming back

    I do kinda like it. But, does it do anything to help win the game? Why would they have an advantage to make two in this situation? If they go for it ten times / do they end up with more than ten points? If so , they should be going for two every time?

    Interesting that Brady affects the other team's offensive strategy.

    The Saints should do it every time with Hill.

    Two is about 50% the XP is missed about 3% of the time so you would end up with slightly more points going for 2 every time in the long run. The idiot tomlin still kicks it there though if they are down 14 and get a TD. 17 and a TD is also a go for 2 situation now.

    Most coaches don't do it, but it's the correct decision.

    Yes, combination of the percentages:
    *If XPt runs at 93%, then you're going to miss one of those occasionally. Old XPt USED TO be 99%.
    *I think the 2pt tries are running well enough. And most Off Coord think they can draw up a good 2pt try.
    *As an underdog, well worth trying for the 2. Best chance.

    Is it going to expose your goal line plays and weaken the success of them. If teams see double the amount of those plays there may not be many secrets or sand bagged plays.

    Wonder how the Raiders feel about going for two after tonight?
