They were down nine, and they go for two.
And it was like, whatever, however many minutes left in the fourth quarter, there's only a couple possessions left.
The argument is when they go for two, down nine, and they don't get it, the whole team deflates because now it's a two-score game versus kicking the extra point and waiting until the end of the game if you score again to then go for two and then try to tie the game.
I see both sides of this argument.
I think there is a human element that analytics kind of ignores sometimes where it's like, is it deflating?
Yes.
Greg Olson actually is very much on the side of going for two early because the argument is if you go for two early, you find out what you need for the rest of the game and you can have a chance to do an onside kick and figure out what you're going to actually need versus if you wait to go for two at the end of the game and you don't get it, game's over.
But, yeah, I think it's, like, all feel.
I wouldn't.
You think you don't go for two there?
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I like J.J.
Watts.
Did you see what J.J.
Yeah, like, there's smart football guys on both sides of this argument that I trust their opinion, and they're, like, very much disagreeing.
So that's where I'm like, it's just a feel thing.
Would you go for two?
I think I would.
The game ended.
Well, no, you at least know what you need.
