Why didn't we go for two after the touchdown the one didn't help us and it would have at least secured us O.T.
 
Not really. If we get that 2 point conversion, then they just kick the extra point and still win by 1.
 
The Texans would have kicked the extra point and the Dolphins would have lost 30-29. It made no difference.
 
Yeah going for 2 really wouldn't have made much sense. Had they missed the two they would have pretty much cost themselves the game. You never know if the Texans botch an XP try or something.
 
Made absolutely no sense not to go for 2. I commented on that in medieval's room prior to our extra point. You gain zero being up 5 in that situation, but at least up 6 forces the opponent to make the extra point. Granted, it's a few percent chance he'll miss it, but everything is grabbing the slightest edge here and there.

It's just the opposite of Randy Shannon yesterday, who went for 2 when it was moronic, up by 11 with 5 minutes left. Up 12 with 5 minutes left is great position, forcing 2 TDs. Instead, with a missed 2 point conversion Shannon would have allowed an 8 and a 3 to tie. Luckily the Canes made the conversion, but you can't play results. The decision was stupidity.

I'm constantly amazed at the bungled choices at the end of these games. Squib kicks is another. They severely limit your opportunity to clamp the opponent in lousy field position. Every time I see a squib kick I root for the opponent to make them pay for it.
 
I was saying the same thing as I watched us score that TD with 1:19 left on the clock. Because then even if they got the ball back with that time left and we didn't make the 2 pts a field goal still wouldn't have been enough to tie it, and in the chance they got the TD the extra point would've been a must for them to beat us. It was stupid not to go for the two, this day blows.
 
Unbelievable. The replies to this thread are priceless, the geniuses who think going for 2 made no difference.

Big hint: don't try anything where mathematical knowledge and common sense are required. :lol:

You HAVE to go for 2 there. What good is it to be up by 5? Atleast if you make it you know if they score they must make the xtra point.
