Going for 2 at that point didn't bother me. If he kicks the extra point we'd still be down by a single score. If you go for two and you don't make it, you're still down by a single score.
I agree. There will be a rule change to correct that, as that was a pretty high profile moment for it to come into play. But analysts are now saying it might have been done purposely. It was talked about for 4-5 min on the Pat Mcafee show today. Even they said, if he did, it was genius. No rule against it.
My feeling is that they will probably make a rule change, that will allow offenses inside of two minutes of each half to accept defensive penalties with no clock run off.

You asked me how I could blame him for points being left on the field.
