How did Broncos not go for 2?

[mathdotcom]

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

Do Tebow and coach not believe in science/numbers?

[dfberger23]

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

[mathdotcom]

what the **** do you have to lose?

[NFL49ers]

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

[Brewers in 7]

you don't go for 2 until you need it, they don't need it yet..

[dfberger23]

what the **** do you have to lose?

A lot. Miss the 2, Vikings score TD, now you are down 2 possessions.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

what the **** do you have to lose?

1 point

[Westcoast0]

is it supposed to be ironic that your handle is mathdotcom and you dont understand basic math?

[yisman]

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

[mathdotcom]

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

[Sunde91]

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

[Deuce]

Black coach, Mathy.

[mathdotcom]

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 . . .

[paco]

Go for 2 now!

[paranoyd androyd]

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

[Sunde91]

they still wont go for 2

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

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Understood it 1st time, not now. What if game ends 22-21?

[paranoyd androyd]

they still wont go for 2

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

[paco]

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

Arguement goes both ways.

Going for the2 is the correct call.

[dfberger23]

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

All about keeping it a one possession game.

[paranoyd androyd]

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

[Sunde91]

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.

[Sunde91]

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

[paranoyd androyd]

and again that is why you NEVER go for 2 unless you have to gl

[jstblaze]

there is no math or stats behind your statement!

and again that is why you NEVER go for 2 unless you have to gl

your just repeating this. this is not true.

[Sunde91]

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

[paranoyd androyd]

see, now that's when you go for 2 never before gl

[dredmahawkus]

Tebow time!

[paco]

This is coming down to a great game.

[jstblaze]

You must be a fool!

see, now that's when you go for 2 never before gl

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.

[nosniboR11]

This is coming down to a great game.

good luck today

[baskets]

a 60 yard fg should be worth 4 points. it's only fair

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Fox wanted to go for two, AGAIN.

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

[ChuckyTheGoat]

a 60 yard fg should be worth 4 points. it's only fair

NFL Europe rule was 4 pts for 50+ yd FG.
