Wrong analysis. 1-point conversion puts you into OT, where you have at best 50% chance to win. A missed kick and game is over. So if success chance on 2-point conversion is 45% or better, then that is "playing the percentages" (assuming 90% success rate on the kick).Would be gutsy . But two point conversion rate is only around 50% while extra point is still well over 90% even with the added distance this year? So it was still the right call by McCarthy.
Note: Actual percentages are 95% of extra point kicks made this year in the NFL and 48% success rate on 2-point conversions over past 3 years (Packers, 5 for 9 on two-pointers, and Crosby did not miss an extra point this year).
-
Only thing that would have been better would have been the Pack going for 2 to win the game after the Hail Mary. Percentage-wise, it's probably the right call, especially with the new extra point rule, but none of the announcers even mentioned the possibility and I'm sure McCarthy never considered it. It's too bad. It would have been a gutsy, smart call.

Reid does not have the aggressive mentality necessary to win a game like this in NE. He will play too conservatively and they are not going to be able to keep Brady from scoring.See how they adjust and come out in the second half. It's not Reids first playoff game.
-
Maybe, but FGs are not going to cut the mustard in this game. Neither are punts.If they pull a *NE they have a chance. Score here. Get ball and score after half then hold on. Yeah, well. Atleast they have a chance
-
This KC team is just not built to come back in a game like this. Pretty much over, unfortunately.
-
KC is lucky they did not get hit for roughing on that play. And the previous roughing the passer call was correct.
-
Well, looks like the competitive portion of this game is pretty much over.
-
True. Outweighs him by about 80 lbs.Burfict is a much bigger scumbag.
-
Yep, but it never happens in the NFL. Ridiculous.Yeah, complete bull ****. He should have been ejected.
-
Basically a free (dirty) hit. Cost them two whole yards.He launched himself, with his helmet. It's the definition of an illegal hit. He should be thrown out of the game.
-
Wow, several errors in this sentence.Marrone has less of a problem because he was a successful college coach who only coached one season in the NFL; and that was for the Bills.
-
Any good 49er players we want on the Bills? Get them trades ready ...
Wonder if they have any RBs they are about to cut who we could acquire for a 4th round pick?
-
It's unlikely a QB taken after the 1st rd will get a second contract with a team because it's unlikely he'll be given a chance. Still this statement is false David Garrard got a 2nd contract.
Thank you. I doubt there is any fanbase in the NFL better able to come up with excuses NOT to draft a QB.
-
Maybe it's as simple as this: the pros are playing to put food on the table in a league where the average career lasts 3.5 years. They are playing for keeps.also, college coaches exercise more control over their players than NFL coaches just due to the nature of age, money, etc.
-
Totally agree. Seem to be fewer phantom PI calls in college and the instant replay system seems to work better, too.Is it just me or does it always seem like, while lacking perfection, the college refs are much less involved in the outcome of games?
And by the way, I LOVED that onside kick! The chances of recovering are actually quite high when the other team is not expecting it (i.e., the kicking team is not in desperation mode).
And, most importantly, they play a cupcake schedule every year.Clemson was the third youngest team in cfb I believe - they could very well be back next year IMO. Watson is too good. Dabo is a great recruiter too and they will be hungry.
-
You mean he thinks highly of a guy who is the best QB of his generation, if not of all time? Yeah, what a schmuck.Doesn't hero worship? Really? He and Nantz are both total Brady/Pats* knob gobblers.
-
If you say so.It was an entertaining legal drama. It was dull-as-**** football.
I wonder if they keep the kicking balls warm. Conditions don't seem to be affecting the kickers.
-
yeah, that game last night was a real snooze-fest.This has been the dullest weekend of football I can remember.
-
Since when can you tackle a guy by the helmet and not be penalized?
-
Yep, throw out the last 10 years of football based on the result of one game played in extreme conditions. Makes sense to me.If the Vikings win, I'm not interested in hearing anyone say that running the ball and playing good defense doesn't work any more
-
Garbage PI call. Seahawks are in trouble.
-
Of course. In general, it's not fair to say "why didn't we draft Antonio Brown in the fifth round?" But sometimes there are specific players that certain teams absolutely should have seen coming. In this case, Bryant since the Bills were obviously scouting his college team carefully and he is such a standout athlete. Russell Wilson is another example, given Wilson's outstanding college career and the Bills' crying need for a QB at the time, not to mention the worthless player they selected instead.No its allowed
but lets do it in the proper context.....ALL GMS do this
No. Whaley.Was buddy drafting in that draft for us?
-
If it was not a catch, it should have been.Not gonna say Dez's catch wasn't a catch but to say Bryant didn't catch the ball is lunacy. He secured it with his second hand while upside down then tucked it away perfectly.
-
Saban rushed back to college when he found out he didn't get 8 first round draft picks every year. Not as easy to win when you have an even playing field (more or less) and no games against Louisiana Tech,
How long before Sexton drops Marrone as a client?
