As we have all witnessed the end of these games have so many crazy endings where nothing should surprise you. With Dallas still having 3 timeouts and the two minute warning to stop the clock the marginally prudent decision is to kick the extra point and stay in the game and expect your defense to do its part.
What use is this extra information you're suggesting you'll obtain with only 2 minutes remaining???? If you miss the 2 pt conversion you went from being able to being down by 7 vs 9? Time in the game plays a huge part here. How do you suggest getting the ball back twice in 2 minutes? An onside kick???? Only 4 out of 52 attempts were successful this year.
Glad to see someone got my drift...McVay is creating a brand for himself, the type of new aged nfl coach which millenials will gravitate towards...the nfl will surely promote his aggressive tendencies and youthful exuberance on the sidelines, and now the trickle down head coaching economics will be the new Cardinals coaches burden, and whomever follows...the times are changing...looking back at the gameflow, other than pure cockiness and sheer adrenaline, McVay's decision to go for the td on 4th and 1 to go up 15 instead of kicking the fg to go up 11 is simply stuff us classic cappers just cant predict anymore...anyone with experience and knowledge of how an nfl playoff game works would agree the standard move was to kick the fg...but hey, McVay rolled the dice and it worked...good for him, nice to see him get rewarded as really the guy has worked hard to get to where he is at such a young age.
Maybe people here dont even know who Pete Rose is, and im just an old fart in covers...its all good.
Good luck with all your theories in life...im sure you have many others
This. First off, i'd like to say this is the dumbest "Sharks vs. Jets" argument I have ever heard. And the OP is wrong. In theory, he is right. Mathematically 8+7 is the same as 7+8 and from a probability stand point, you figure it makes sense to know you need a third score earlier than late. However theory does not always match with what's practical. In these situations, the odds of getting the ball back for a third score are almost zero. You go into it knowing it comes down to two possesions or nothing. So, if the games going to be over, you don't want it to be on that play. You go for one to avoid the emotional deflation that comes with missing a two. You want your special teams and defenss playing like they still have a shot at winning. And that is why every team goes for one.
