Reid would have went for two
 

Go for one or two?

Reid left no doubt what he would have done had the Chiefs scored a touchdown in the final seconds and drawn within 24-23 last Sunday at Denver.

Play for overtime with an extra point or go for the win with a two▪ -point conversion.

“I was going to go for two,” Reid said on Friday, with no hesitation.

:hmmm: Thoughts ?

He can say all he wants in a presser six days later, but at the end of the day even he doesn't know what he'd do because they didn't get a touchdown..

Even he doesn't know what he was planning to do at the time? Wow.

I guess that explains a lot.

Going for 2 would have been the right call, as I, and many others in the game thread pointed out.

He wasn't going for 2. Fat Andy is one of the most terrified coaches I've ever seen. He kicked FG on 4th & goal at the 1 in both Denver and Indy last year. It's laughable he'd pull this act when we all know it's totally false

Probably should have worried about getting 6 first.

Yeah great idea, trust the offense to go for two when they couldn't even get the job done on 4th and goal.

I can walk off the teebox and plan to take a 3-wood from 210 yards out for a shot at eagle but it's not a sure thing until I take the club out of the bag and address the ball.

Terrible idea. Manning only needing a Field goal to win with a minute left. Better shot in OT because you at least get the ball.

we were talking about that as soon as we got to midfield


You don't take Peyton Manning into overtime with our defense.

go for 2

It's real simple: in strategy, if you can't think of what you want to do, ask youself: "What does my opponent NOT want me to do?" It's pretty obvious what John Fox would not want.

No flipping way would he have gone for two when he didn't go for it on 4th and a foot from near midfield when the offense was moving the ball. No way.

but you want to trust that offense to score quick in overtime?


you want to trust our shitty defense to not give up a big play?

Reid would have kicked the XP. He would have thought about going for 2 but would have decided that taking a tie into OT on the road was the best option.

I can only imagine that Fox didn't want the Chiefs to score a TD. Seems like his strategy trumped Reid's strategy of going for 2.

What a sack of shit.
This makes the midfield punt even worse.

I have to say that similar circumstances in the past would indicate that he probably would have kicked it, but maybe he learned something from those failures.
Maybe not.

I don't believe that useless SOB is capable of learning.

Manning STILL would have gotten the ball with a minute left.....:spock:

He hasn't seemed to learn from many of his failures. Like moving away from running the ball when it's working.
It repeatedly bites him in the ass, and yet......

Bull Shit.

I think he probably is telling the truth.


He onside kicked it on the opening ko against us once, then iirc in another game tried it again after the half...

Why would they not use the TO to set that play up AFTER they scored a TD? What purpose would it make to call a TO to design the next next play?

Because...I said something stupid and I got busted before I could delete it.

Neither option is ideal, I'm simply picking the one that maximizes our odds of winning. You can either pick option A in which you run one play and have virtually no margin of error, or option B where there is a greater margin of error and nothing is finite.

Considering our offense, B makes more sense.

The sense of urgency is less obviously since if they are trailing they have to go all out, go on 4th down etc. which makes a FG more likely. If it is around 30 seconds, it makes more sense to go for 2. With Fox as opposing HC and a tie game, he probably runs out a tester play or two and if it fails he probably plays for OT.

Dick from stick = does not know, nor can see.

HE PUNTED ON 4TH AND 1 FOOT IN GOOD FIELD POSITION AND GAVE THE BALL BACK TO PEYTON AND HE SCORED!

HE WASN'T GOING FOR TWO-HE IS FULL OF SHIT!!!

Yep. This is exactly what I thought when I read the OP.

Vermeil would have went for two.

Only if the chart says to.

With the way the OT scoring rules work now, I don't think going for 2 would have been the best bet.

That puts it all on 1 play where as in OT you have a 50% chance of getting the ball first or have to hold Denver to a FG or less to get the ball back with a chance to score.

That's 1 play make or break it vs 3 other favorable possibilities.

There is no way Andy was going to go for 2. Not a chance.

You read my mind.

Are we sure he wasn't responding to a question about that new "Horse Collar" kielbasa that they are selling at Lambeau Field?

because you don't want to give the defense time to get ready for a 2-pt conversion.

you score and immediately run the 2 point play

but going for 2 means our team only has to win on a single play for 2 yards

OT means our offense has to win for a scoring drive and our defense has to win to stop a scoring drive .... on the road.

One penalty on offense in OT and we are ****ed.

One big passing play against our defense and we are ****ed.

When your team isn't as good, and on the road, you go for the quick,shock win and then run for the bus.


Whether or not Reid has the ballz to do it is another matter.

This. Candy Reid is a coward.

Probably had no trust in Santos to make the extra point.

:hmmm: LMAO

He wouldn't go for 1 yard last year in Denver from the one, and didn't go for it this year in Denver near midfield. But he's going to try from the 3???? Fat Andy is a coward yes, but I didn't know he's also a liar

That m&m should be yellow

I get everyone's criticism about Reid's past history. I think it's a big tell about how he views this team, this season, and the Broncos in their own house. Nothing to lose because he knows it's going to be a looooooong season and if he gets lucky on the 2ptr what better way to enjoy a loooooong season. And he doesn't want to go into overtime against Manning in his house playing and hanging on literal threads at that point. If the 2ptr fails the criticism will be light due to so many injuries.

No way Reid attempts this IF he has healthy team is all I'm saying.;)

I'm sure it probably has happened other times, but right off the top of my head I only remember Shanny pulling shit like this against San Diego. I'm thinking it was when Cutler fumbled the ball and Ed Hochulli called it an incomplete pass. We ended up getting a TD on that drive at the end of the game. I was sweating it because it looked like we were barely going to tie it up and then see what we could do. Then they go out there and go for two points. I was yelling and bitching in full force and it went something like, 'What the **** are you doing you senile old piece of shit mother****er we just had the game practically handed to us on a blown call and you stupid ****ing cock gobbler you're going to piss it away with a ****ing...oh...shit...they ****ing made it. Holy shit, he's brilliant."

He punts from the 50 yard line with a yard to gain.

He wasn't going for 2.

We did it against the Raiders years ago with Vermiel I think it was as coach.

It was a lost season by then anyway but we went for 2 and won the game on the last play.

LJ up the gut I think it was.

No, that was just a TD dive with :02 on the clock or something instead of a FG.

Same difference though. Go for the win instead of the tie.

Exactly.

I feel like it was not going for two but rather, going for it with only enough time left to run one more play. A fg would have tied it. I also don't recall it being a list season at that point but you may be right. Since I was at that game, you would think I would remember better but I don't.

Lost season. **** phone posting

Um...if they just settled for tying it up, wouldn't Manning still just need a field goal to win?

It was not a lost season. It was the 2005 year, which was better than any Chiefs team we've had since.

LJ caught a screen pass and broke a long gainer, getting tackled right near the goal. We had the ball at the 1 with two seconds left down three. Vermeil went for the win and LJ dove in over the left side of the line.

That was the best Chiefs game I ever went to.

This. Except the best I went to was the 56-7 falcon curb stomp

That Falcon game happened after Game 1 of the 2004 WS. I went to a baseball field Sunday morning with a friend and probably threw about 100 pitches, almost all breaking stuff. I think I seriously ****ed up my elbow, because to this day, any time I throw a baseball I get a zinging feeling of numbness shooting down my ring and pinkie finger.

Well done sir

Wait a second, maybe Reid would have went for 2.



By 2 he meant "Seconds".

Or two cheeseburgers?

Appetizers?

2 of them?

I would not have gone for two because this team hasn't shown it can score in the red zone as it is. No faith that they could convert a 2-point conversion.

he wouldn't even go for it on 4th and inches at the 50 yard line at the end of the 2nd half ROFL

Touchdowns not deserts. Tell then go....

No cheese cake for Andy till a Chiefs win.

The underdog esp on the road should always go for two

But fat Andy is gutless so he'd never do it

and as bad as that is, it still would have a better probability of success than Santos attempting an extra point

Just think; today you'll have further opportunities to discuss matters just like this one!

Ah yes. The beautifulness that is football season.

I jones 7 months to endure 5 months of pain and misery.

The Chiefs Kingdom=The Ultimate Masochist.
