Be as it may, if you think chances are a miracle for converting a 2-yard 2pter, then it's still a better miracle chance stringing together 7-play, 50 yard drive in OT.

The bigger miracle would be stopping them. But yeah, I see the logic of it now with the other thing you said.

Historically, the 2pointer is ~45% conversion rate, but with our offense, I suspect it's lower. However, if you think our chances of converting a single play from the 2 yard line are low, you think our chances in overtime for a 7-play, 50 yard drive with Cooper and banged-up Lamb are higher?
I'll still take my chances. Maybe you don't need a TD, maybe you kick a FG and then stop them.

Plus, I think losing in OT is more acceptable after that comeback. To lose because you couldn't make the 2PT after the incredible comeback I think would be absolutely devastating.

I don't know what the analytics community says, but with the Tush Push being such a high conversion rate (+80%), I wonder the temptation to always go for 2.

That's how shitty we played in a dome. Can't imagine how much worse we'd look in the rain

:lol

LaFleur just said Fuck Off after the Lions scored that TD. Wonder if that was to the Lions sideline or to his coaching staff in the headset.

To a school that won the national championship. After he left it.
After today, wonder how much he further solidified his stranglehold on his PFF rank 219/219

So bad, next time we're on SNF, his rank might show as NA/218
