Why would GB go for 2???????????????? WTF

[billbeater]

makes no sense... welcome to the nfl @)@)@)

To screw us all with the -5 bears

 

[Bennyshoe]

makes no sense either..you gotta wonder sometimes with the -5

 

[billhill999]

To go up six and force a successful extra point if Chicago drove for a TD in the final 1:11.
No brainer.

 

[letsgobirds]

in the rare case chicago scores and misses the XP, than it would still be a tie game at at 21.

 

[oldmanTED]

The only reason I can think of is because if they went for 1 and converted they would lead by 5. But by going for 2, at no risk, they could lead by 6. With 1:11 left, should Chicago actually score a TD, the game would be tied and the 1 point conversion would have to be made for Chicago to win. That's not automatic.

On the subject of 2 pointers..

Can you return a 2-pt conversion for 2 of your own (like a pick-6)? Or is a turnover on a 2-pt attempt a dead ball?

I know if you block an XP and return it, you get 2.

 

[billbeater]

is the play on the nfl sheet to go for 2 in this situation?

in that case i dont think you coach around an extra point.... hno:

 

[blackbox]

Strange things happen-

 

[stealth]

the got a call

they had no choice to go for two, LMFAO..Chicago with Cutfuk under center can go length of field with no timeouts , ys I am glad they went for fuckin 2 also that way I could lose $$$$ CHI +5.5

LMFAO, fuck you Packers

 

[AsianGodofGambler]

No points given for the return of a failed 2 point conversion attempt in NFL. DEAD BALL!

Only applies in NCAA.

That's only in College. In the NFL, the play is dead.

GB scores and kicks the XP. 20-15 GB. Chicago scores...misses XP. Chicago still wins 21-20.

GB scores and goes for two but it fails. 19-15 GB. Chicaco scores..misses XP. Chicago still wins 21-19.

GB scores and goes for two and converts. 21-15 GB. Chicago scores...misses the XP. 20-20 and we're headed to overtime.

Unlikely - but it puts you in the best position possible to still have a chance if Chicago scores. XP's aren't automatic or they wouldn't kick them.

Option 1-2 have the same consequences if Chicago scores. Either way you lose...XP or failed 2 point conversion. Up 6 at least gives you a chance. Even if it is 0-1% Gould misses the XP.

 

[hippieki11er]

No. That's NCAA rules.

Thought so.

Who's that in your avatar btw?

 

[Sekrah]

I cannot believe there is this many idiots on here asking this question!!!!!!!!!

Is this your first football game? You ALWAYS GO UP 6 late in the game if you can!!!!! Force the Xtra Point! There are no 5 point plays morons!

 

[midman2161]

Makes perfect sense.. 99% percent of the time would make no difference but the Bears need a TD either way and should they score a TD but miss the PAT the game goes into OT, whereas if the Packers had just kicked the extra point they would lose no matter what. A few years ago the Jaguars I remember made a crazy kickoff return for a TD last play of the game.. filled with lateral.. then missed the extra point after. That was what McCarthy was preventing

 

[kidman232]

don't forget 90+ percent of the time coaches are going off a scoring chart that tells them to go for 2 or kick the extra point, broken down by how much time is left. Its all statistics. Think if they missed and u covered on a 4 pt loss. Depending on my bet amount id prefer them going for 2 whether I was on bears or packers

 

[billbeater]

some teams would go for 2 in this spot and some perhaps would not....

its nfl, no big deal, bears could have stopped it and didnt.....
