Early in the 4th quarter I would go for 2 up 5 because my opponent is more likely to score 1 touchdown than 2 field goals.Alexis said:
So you would internet tough guy it and go for 2 when up 5 early in the 4th quarter. Got it.TierbsHsotBoobs said:
That kind of loser mentality is the same kind of loser mentality that punts on 4th and 1 from Oregon's 39 yard line.Alexis said:
You don't go for two based on what happens if you make it. You go for two based on what happens if you miss it. That's why the coaches up 5 early in the 4th quarter who go for two are idiots.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

No you're entirely correct. That OSU was unlikely to score again doesn't weigh one way or the other.Gladstone said:yeah put it that way and i can't really argue against it
lol @ the idea of browning and his band of pants-shitting losers rallying back
i retract my previous statement
The question is, assuming that by some miracle OSU does score again, whether you'd rather have your 'O' try a 2 pointer to win/tie if they fail
OR
your opponent try a 2 to tie/lose if they fail.
Obviously given the dreck fest offenses involved you'd rather be up the guaranteed 8 than 7/9.
The 8 is worth more than the 9.
A two score lead is much better than an eight points lead.
Going for 2 made no sense there either, but was very unlikely to cost them. They went from having to give up 2 scores just to tie (TD and 2 pt conversion) to only having to give up 1 score to tie. True, OSU is dreck and wasn't going to score, but still, stupid. It's a loser mentality just like taking a knee with less than a minute left to run out the clock with a lead in AZ vs. running your sure handed running back take the hand off. Good football management is good football management.

I can see why Minny went for two, but the play call was fucktarded. If the d returns the conversion OSU gets 2 pts and a TD beats you. The out route at the goal line is risqué as Dawgs fans recall

Totally agree. Even Lambo fucking stupid hated that play call.Bad_MotherDucker said:I can see why Minny went for two, but the play call was fucktarded. If the d returns the conversion OSU gets 2 pts and a TD beats you. The out route at the goal line is risqué as Dawgs fans recall

You go for 2. Every. Single. Time.
Any dumbass white trash trump voter can see that. Only a retard needs to see the expected values and probabilities. -
While you're wrist deep pulling numbers out of your ass dig a little bit deeper and come up with a number for kicking an XP.TierbsHsotBoobs said:You go for 2 because your win probability goes from 90% to 99% if you get it and from 90% to 85% if you miss it.

Actual numbers, assuming two equal teams, 2 minutes left, and a touchback on the ensuing kickoff. Calculator here:FremontTroll said:

http://www.pro-football-reference.com/play-index/win_prob.cgi?request=1&vegas_line=0&score_differential=-7&quarter=4&minutes=2&seconds=0&field=team&yds_from_goal=25&down=1&yds_to_go=10
7 point lead = 89% chance
8 point lead = 93% chance
9 point lead = 97% chance
Personally I think the 97% number is too low because you have to recover an onside kick, but based on the numbers the choice had equal upside and downside.
