[Incomplete Title] Down 14 in 4th Quarter

Recommended Posts

Today in Saints-Lions  and Jags-Bengals games lions and jags down by 14in 4th.  Both tried for a 2 pt after first TD. Jags failed, Lions succeeded .

 

commrentators on TV thought they were stupid moves.

 

but analytics say otherwise if you can have a high success on 2pt.

 

you would have a better probability of tie and winning than just tying.

 

im not going to go through the analysis. You can find it online. I am a professional data scientist.  I understand it.

 

the Raiders didn’t try it.  Gruden is too old school.

if you aren’t going to talk about why don’t start the thread.
 

It’s like kicking the extra point when you scored a touchdown down 8 at the end of the game. Guaranteed failure.

Commentators were right - down 14 makes no sense.  Eight points leaves it as 6 - a FG still makes it a two score game.

 

Take the point and then you still have to score again.  You want to win go for 2 at the end.  
 

The 2 points just does not help enough to make the risk.

 

Also fix the title and the initial post so that people can read it please.

You go for two because it you still have some time on the clock to potentially overcome missing it. If you go for two later and miss it, you have no time to overcome that.


 

That would be true down 15 or 16 - why go for 2 when only down by 14.  
 

In the final standings - both teams still lost.  Jags by 8 and Detroit by 6.  Both still needed another TD.

Ok, yeah. I missed that part of it.

 

Pay me no heed!
