If NO had gotten a TD instead, missing that extra point by going for 2 instead would have had an impact.

The problem with monday morning QB talk is that it is done already knowing what happens after the decision could have been made, while in the live game, no one knows the later variables.

I agree. It's a hindsight approach. But I will say that there were many in the chat who mentioned going for two at the time.

I just think that if we didnt hold N.O. to a field goal, they would have won regardless so thats why it was important.
