Make the 2
Miss it
Make it
...yay, you have a whole extra point.
Miss the 2

...well, -1 this game.
...and you don't know if you'll get that extra chance to make up for a miss.
Points are too valuable in any given game to simply say across 100 chances, you'll come out on top +5 points.
And idiots like Staley have ****ed it up plenty of times, overthinking it and going for (and missing) early, and then kicking EPs late when they should actually going for 2, etc.

Yeah especially in this game where it's low scoring and this may very well be the two best defenses in the league. You may not get many shots to even score a TD.
