Why didn't we go for 2?

I know it may not matter, but why didn't we go for 2?

Olindo is Wanny's fantasy kicker? But seriously, at that point in the game, it doesn't matter. The Giants weren't going to go the length of the field twice in four minutes -- and more importantly, have Feagles kick two extra points.

^^^ He is correct.

Although it could've really came back to bitten us on the arse, everyone knew the Giants weren't coming back. Why risk an injury on a 2 point converstion? Plus, if we miss the 2 point conversion, it gives the Giants a lot of momentum.

Also, if something bizarre happened and they scored a couple quick TDs, they'd have more room for error. Assuming we'd miss the 2, then they could miss one XP and still win.

I'm impressed by the teams lack of penalties at the goal line. It took 3 plays to punch it in for the TD and the OL didn't move. They've been in that situation several times and have gotten it corrected since the Houston game. They didn't beat themselves and thats why they won.

Good point Sherif.
