budlitebrad Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 So their score would be 21 points greater than the Packers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainHook Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 The better question would be why did GB go for two when down 26-13? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montster Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 The better question would be why did GB go for two when down 26-13? 1041379[/snapback] i guess for the same reason they went for two when down 32-19: to cut the lead to a touchdown, 2-pt conversion and a field goal. i swear that, in the long run, it makes more sense to just kick the PAT. you end up screwing yourself more when you chase these 2-pt conversions.

montster Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 you end up screwing yourself more when you chase these 2-pt conversions. 1041393[/snapback] except, of course, for those times when it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 except, of course, for those times when it works. 1041428[/snapback] you kick XP's until the fourth quarter. If they had, a FG wins this thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 i guess for the same reason they went for two when down 32-19: to cut the lead to a touchdown, 2-pt conversion and a field goal. i swear that, in the long run, it makes more sense to just kick the PAT. you end up screwing yourself more when you chase these 2-pt conversions. 1041393[/snapback] I tend to agree, but there is a big difference between being down by 11 and down by 12. Two scores versus three, whereas the difference between 12 and 13 is nothing, really. Plus, given how far behind the Packers were tonight, I think they were pretty much assuming that the only way they had a chance was if they could keep Carolina from scoring again. If Carolina scores again, they're done. So, doing whatever you can to get within 11 makes sense. They never would have gone for two with that same score had it been the first half, because you would have to assume the Panthers would score again, making the outcome far too unpredictable. Just my 2 cents...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
