@michaelchamp@GraysonBarrett7@np_td84 CIN - CHI last year is also technically an example of the strategy working. The Bengals still lost on a last second 56 yd TD to Loveland lmao but the Bengals still successfully executed the strategy to take the lead with an extra point.
@HunUGH23@mmekus18 College is completely irrelevant here. But for the NFL game, sure bro lol. In the meantime, if you want another example, check the Bears - Bengals game last year - this strat was also technically successful in that game
@HunUGH23@mmekus18 lol you asked for the last time, not the total amount. Most of these scenarios never even progress enough to get to the point where the second 2pt attempt happens. But I bet it works out more than it doesn’t
@zbad1440@MattSmithCFB Winning a game in OT is also ~47% success rate - pretty much the same as the 2pt conversion. If you don’t like the odds of the 2 point conversion, why do you accept the odds of going to OT to win?
@IBookWins@EddiePerkin72 At the end of the day, this truly doesn’t even apply to last night’s game. They never even got to the point of scoring the second TD, so it doesn’t matter what they chose to do after the first. All you can say is it was “hypothetically a coaching error”
@PeteFiutak@Johnathon2113 Funny you say that bc the ‘smart’ thing to do is in fact go for 2 twice.
And the fact nobody has benefitted from it since last year is pretty irrelevant, that’s because the scenario rarely ever happens in the first place lol
@GoatHouseNFL Defense didn’t ’step up against the run’, the packers are truly just that horrible at running the ball. The CB injuries are tough but he isn’t even putting his CBs in a position to succeed in the first place.
@danorlovsky7 He gave up 56 points week 1 of the season. He has his CBs line up 10 yards downfield on every 3rd & short. Don’t care how many injuries you got, coaches gotta put their players in the best position to succeed - Evero doesn’t do that.
@themythof_jj Going for 2 was the right call statistically. I also understand the run on 3rd down - they couldn’t pass/ block for shit all game but they could run it. They knew it was a 4 down scenario, may as well try to get some yards on 3rd before 4th. Still a terrible outing overall tho
@theonestoff@PatColetrain Oh same. Especially on plays where the game is pretty much on the line. We can’t be giving a 10 yard cushion when they only need 2, shit doesn’t make sense man
@jbone7288@_KylesPicks_ To be fair, I don’t even know how you can effectively play call when your OL can’t hold off a 4 man rush for more than 1 second
@FatAlcohol@_KylesPicks_ The casuals have no idea how football works lol the panthers couldn’t block /pass for shit the entire game but they could run it. They already knew it was a 4 down situation - so they run on 3rd down to pick up some yards & make 4th more manageable. Shit ain’t rocket science lmao
@1804gee@SurrDaubs@TJenkinsElite 50% chance you convert a 2pt conversion attempt. If you attempt 2 of them, there is a 75% chance you convert at least 1 of them.
I’d rather take a 75% chance to get 1 out of 2, over a 50% chance to get 1 out of 1.
