You still need a 2PT conversion regardless, whether you try it on the first TD or the second. You miss it on the first try like they did and it's a 9 point game with likely one possession left, you miss it on the second and it's a 1 point game with likely close to no time left and you do the desperation onside attempt.

NO shyt

EVERYONE KNOWS YOU
TAKE THE 2 ON THE LAST POSSESSION.

IF YOU DONT GET IT
WHEN THEY ATTEMPTED IT
THE GAME IS OVER

Every sport(that has it, is time, score and possession).
You add pressure to a team play calling knowing they are up 1 score with 3- 4 minutes to go vs up 2 scores...especially with the kickoff rules it's tough to get multiple possessions under 3-4 minutes with good teams that have ran the ball on you all night and have your defense off balance.

You do the 2 pt conversion last because mentally it’s a shytty feeling knowing your down 2 scores with 3 minutes left if it doesn’t work out :gucci:
football is a game of momentum, cutting it to a 1 score lead that late puts pressure on the other team to convert and gives your defense motivation. A failed 2pt conversion effectively ends the game, nothing else after that matters.

There is no scenario where it makes sense to go for 2 on the first score.
I hear you, but the momentum/emotional aspect feels more relevant when teams are down 14 and take the go for two approach to try and setup the win with an extra point scenario on the second score.

Down 15 with that little time left it's very cut and dry, you need a 2 no matter what. The defense having motivation and opposing offense feeling pressure to convert just don't impact the bottom line enough. Nothing else matters if you fail the attempt whether it's on the first or second try, so when you do it just doesn’t feel consequential enough to move the needle.

That’s what people need to realize. The play calling of the opponent does not remain the same. If you’re up eight points, you might need to throw it knowing it’s only a one possession game. If you’re up nine, then you’re probably going to run and just burn the opponents timeouts. It absolutely makes a difference WHEN you go for it like you are saying. I hate that call.

No doubt..and I hate it is "analysis say"..no do I feel we can get one stop with the home crowd going crazy or 2 when we haven't stopped them running the ball all night and we just need force one pass.

That can make sense when there is more time left than there is in this game. With only three minutes left and the current onside kick rules, I can find zero justification to go for two there.

Yeah , I disagree with it late in game.
