[Willy Waffle]

patriots always converting on 3rd and whatever. shyt is crazy

 

[KushSkywalker]

They don't apparently

They know why he did it too.

The point is it was still stupid.

Would've been smarter to make New England have to go for 2.

Gronk is crazy

 

[Take_Note]

If NE can get the touchdown, I'm thinking they go for a field goal and take their chances in over time rather than trying to win it with a 2-point conversion

Brady o.o

WOW!

 

[Big D Bangston]

Brady gon bradyp*ssy

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

But if you get it, they leave NE with 4 minutes to get a TD and a FG instead of a TD and a 2 pointer.

The game is essentially over if they get it there.

The probability of hitting a two-point conversion is around 45-50% - whereas the extra point is around 98-99.9%. Not only is it smarter to force the opposition to a 45-50% play (rather than one that's a near certainty), but you don't put yourself in the position of going for a play that only has a 45-50% strike rate when you could go for one that's near 100% - forcing the opposition to then go for a play that only has a 45-50% strike rate rather than one that's a near certainty.

Basically what I'm saying is - force the opposition into the going for the riskier play. It was the wrong call. Period.

Kind of rethinking my stance on that 2 pointer.
