Classic stupidity - Colts not going for 2

[HarryCaray]

Where's Illini, he'll back me up on this one.

Down 15 Colts were dumb not to go for 2 after scoring TD with 13 minutes left. You need to know right away if you need 2 more scores or 1 to optimally manage your decisions moving forward.

 

[slapshot]

yeah down 9 you go for 2

 

[RenoChazz]

Why would they gamble needing 2 scores now, when just getting the point guarantees they need one score. Now they're down by 8, after the next touch down is when they should go for it.

I think you do go for 2 right there as well. but it's never done.

i saw it done in a mid day college game a couple of weeks ago. the team didn't get it...and i'm pretty sure they lost anyways.

Correct call; keep it to a one score game and keep some pressure on the Pats' O.

 

[Illini]

That's a lot of time, not sure I would go for two there. This guy is no genius though, he kicked the PAT to go up 13 with 4 minutes left last year at San Fran.
