Why did Rivera go for two?

[Mother Grabber]

This did put them in the best shape to win. this wasn't done in the 1=2=3 quarter but with 4 mins left on the clock. You are assuming the Jags score and leave enough time for a posession. you play for the block xp

I give up you guys are beating a dead horse we won.:cheers2:

I'm not assuming anything, I built that into my formula. Once again, please read the posts. Not my fault you don't understand basic game theory.

HA I don't understand basic game theory! I have explained 17 times the theory behind why he went for 2. You simply don't get it or think you know more than a Professional football coach. Obi Ron made the correct call based on so called game theory off the when to go for 2 sheet. Don't throw out game theory when that is what he used to make the call.

BTW you said you built that into your formula? So you are creating so called game theory based on your formula? Who the hell died and made you Vince Lombardi?:hand:

You are beating your head against a brick wall here. If he doesn't get it by now he never will. Going for 2 is the right call.

This is an irrelevant discussion. Those objecting to this decision have ever played football and it shows. You must go for 2pt because even with 4 mins left if there is a shot out, you have to put yourself in position to tie via putting yourself up by 7 points or tying if they score 2 TD's by scoring another 2-pt conversion should you score another TD.

Right on Brother!

This is an irrelevant discussion. None of you have ever played football and it shows.

I have played and coached football at a high level and that is why I agree with you, You should say those of you who dsiagree with the decision for the 2 know nothing about football.:cornut:

fixed

[Jangler]

still say "Why not?" is the best answer.

[Seamonk]

cuz we motherfuging can.

[Ruff]

two jax field goals tying it vs two jax field goals taking the lead

This.

Or, we get the ball back, and get in field goal range (which he sorta did), we kick the field goal, and go up by 9, which is two possessions, instead of 8.

[maddog]

I think this is the best answer considering time and all! I would give pie but I'm not there yet. You get props how is that?

[iluvdapanthersyo]

There's really not much of a difference between a 4 point lead and a five point lead with as little time left in the game as there was. Why not give yourself a chance for a six point lead?

[brandon_87]

I still can't understand the benefit of being up 6 instead of 5

Really?

A td is 6, not 7..... Make them earn it

2 fg's are 6, if we were up 5 we lose....
