Chloroform Rx Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Go up by 2 field goals? I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 Go up by 2 field goals? I don't know. If San Fran had scored at TD (okay, I guess maybe that is a stretch), it would have been one of the dumbest conversion attempts I have ever seen before.

bushwacked Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 (edited) 2 FGs would beat you if you're up by 4 or by 5, not if you're up by 6. Assuming the extra point is automatic a TD beats you regardless; Seems pretty straight forward.

Seahawks21 Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 No way. If you're up 4, you get the point. It's automatic. A field goal then wins it for you if the other team scores a TD, or puts you up 8 if you get another. I would be willing to bet money they are the first team up 4 to go for a 2-point conversion since it has been implemented. If you go for two and miss, it gives you way too much risk of not winning if you get another field goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 You go for two there. There was 3:10 left in the game. No matter what, one FG does not beat you, so might as well make it a 6 point lead. That way, if they score the TD, you still have a shot to block the xp. I don't see a problem with it.

Seahawks21 Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) You go for the 2 there if you score it with less than 20 seconds left in the game, that is about it. I knew somebody would bring up the "block the extra point" reasoning. That would be the only reason to do it. You're going to go for 2 based on a 1% chance of blocking an extra point? No. They did it so it would take 2 FG's to tie them, and it was absolutely idiotic. It very easily could have cost them an easy win. You go up five. That way a field goal wins it for you if they score a TD. Additionally, if you kick a FG before the other team scores, you go up 8, which is huge. One more field goal in that whole game, and you can't lose without giving up two scores. . If you miss, like they did, and SF scores a TD, a field goal sends the game to overtime rather than winning outright. It even makes less sense when you consider it was Indy. Surely they have to think they can score a FG in the 4th quarter with their offense. It makes no sense to risk going down three if you give up a TD. I'm through the last 2.5 years and they are the first team that has done it. I can almost guarantee you they are the first team dumb enough to try this since it has been brought back. I'll confirm tomorrow evening. If this was the right way to play it, you would see lots of games with 15-9 or teams going up 29-23 sometime during the game.

They scored that TD on the first play of the first quarter. There was close to 15 minutes left in the game. I think you need to kick the extra point there.

I think you need to kick the extra point there. I assume you mean first play of the fourth quarter. I had to leave the game and didn't see the fourth quarter. I thought it was at the end of the game, I haven't had time to watch the fourth quarter yet. I'd have to agree now. Too early to be going for two.
