Make the 2
Miss 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.

I was never in love with the ultra-aggressive Chip Kelly strategy of literally going for 2 every time, but I'll tell ya what, it sucked to play against that team. And I mean that both as a Chief fan when he was the Eagles coach and as a Duck hater when he was in Eugene.
