POST #1 TOPIC AUTHOR We did it again today and almost all teams do the same. Say we go for two and make it, our odds to win dramatically go up as it becomes a two score lead. IF we don't make it, we still have a seven point lead and if the rivals score a TD then they will have to choose if they want to risk it all by going for two.

The idea of going for 2 is based on it not hurting you if you miss. After the first TD, if we miss, it's 6-6. After the 2nd TD if we miss it's a 7 point lead so there it might have been okay....but why pass the chance to go up 8? After the third TD, no way do you give them a chance to win with 7.

After the third TD, no way do you give them a chance to win with 7.Exactly, that's my point from the OP!!! by Elvis 3 weeks 2 days ago Total posts: 40118 Joined: Mar 28 2015 Los Angeles Administrator Re: Late in the game, we score and go up seven, WHY NOT GO FOR TWO and make it a two score lead? POST #6 Personally i think this is a great question.Being up 9 is better than being up 8 by more than being up 8 is better than 7.So i think it's definitely worth considering in a lot of situations, having a lot to do with how much time is left in a game...

Then the other team can beat you with a two point conversion if they choose to go for it. So the question comes down to do you think you have a better chance of making your two point conversion or stopping the other team's two point conversion.

POST #9 TOPIC AUTHOR Early in the 4th qtr we scored to make it 13-6 before our extra point. IF we went for two and made it, we would have been up by NINE which would have made it a 2 score game. IF we were not successful, then they could have tied the game with one TD and a kicked extra point. Obviously, that team would then have to make the choice of going for one or two; to tie, or go for the lead.Almost all of the teams in the league just go for the extra point, but how many extra point attempts have been missed this year? In the later stages of a game, I think it would be wise to go for it. JMHO How many short field goal and extra point kicks have we missed this year?
