You Do Know We Playing Indoors, Right? | Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Detroit Lions, 1/21/2024

The logic is if you plan to go for 2 anyway, go for it on the first TD that way if you don't get it you still have a chance to tie the game by going for 2 on the second TD. If you do on the second TD then it's all or nothing win or lose. I'm all for going for it early as a safety net. Either way still a one score game.

Exactly.

I'm not saying I like the decision, but it's mind-boggling how so many don't understand the difference of going for two on the first TD versus on the second.

I'm not a fan of some of these analytics based decisions, but some of you have to be beyond clueless to not understand the difference between going for two there versus on a potential second TD drive.

It's not the same mindset and situation....at all.

Yes, it's worse. Now, they HAVE to go for two. If they kicked the XP, they would have the choice whether to play for OT or the win. What's so difficult to understand?

95% to only make two kicks in a row and 55% 2 point conversion so if you work out the math its not 100% chance to kick two xps

It's a 55% chance of getting the 2-point. So if you go for it twice that equals 110% which is more than 95%
