Title: Poll Request: Scoring when it's a fourteen point game Post by: dolphins4life on November 10, 2023, 03:52:46 pm Do you go for two and try to make it a six point game?
Or do you kick the XP and make it a seven point game? The Bills did the former. The Dolphins did the latter. Title: Re: Poll Request: Scoring when it's a fourteen point game Post by: Dave Gray on November 10, 2023, 09:39:39 pm You go for 2.

I hate when coaches start thinking about that in the first quarter. If that's your mindset just be a coach that always goes for two regardless.

I'm surprised this hasn't happened yet. It would revolutionize the league. Imagine if you had a punter that could also do kickoffs and you didn't even have a kicker on your roster. I wonder how it would go.Title: Re: Poll Request: Scoring when it's a fourteen point game Post by: Denver2 on November 12, 2023, 11:20:17 am I'm surprised this hasn't happened yet.

Or do you just go for it on 4th once you cross the 50 or something?

You get to go for 2 twice. So, even if you don't get it, you have a chance to get it back. By reducing it to 6 points, it now puts a FG in play potentially, as well, and you have a chance to win the game outright.

For example if you convert 75% of the time you should almost always go for 2. OTOH if you only convert 30% of the time you should rarely attempt a 2 point. BTW that is the same analysis on if you should kick a FG or try for a TD on 4 and goal from 2. |
