Why Didn't We Go For 2?

[Drathdon]

Quick question I didn't want to get lost in another topic...

Anyone else jumping up and down, wondering why we didn't go for 2 after we made it 19-7. I mean, sure we were up by 2 scores at the time, but going to 20-7 was not going to help us at all. It almost came back to bite us.

I know we may not have made it, but 19-7 or 20-7 is essentially the same thing... both beat 1 TD and 1 FG, both lose to 2 TD. The possibility of getting 21-7 was worth the risk, since you essentially give up nothing.

I can't be the only one who was concerned about that call at the time. I mean, always take points... but in the 4th quarter, this decision seems it would be the right one.

Anyone have a different opinion?
