Cowboys win the NFC

I was not a fan of the Chiefs two point conversion attempt. Being up by eight still required a TD with a two point conversion by the Raiders. But I really didn’t understand the Raiders Two point attempt. Whether a tie or up by one the Chiefs had to score to win. Not making it, which they didn’t , allowed the Chiefs to play those last few minutes differently. Though I appreciated Carr’s downfield throws that last fourth down should have been trying to get the first down. Field goal range was not that far.
 
i think raiders and cowboys should go for 2 every time the rest of yr , be interesting to see if they get more than 50 percent.

It made no sense. Stupid coaching. It would almost be the same as being on the 10 yard line, 4th down, down by three, and going for the touchdown instead of the field goal. Except it was even worse that that, because being up by 4 (if they even made a touchdown) would prevent the other team from winning or tying with a field goal.
 
I thought it was great when they brought in the two point conversion . You know give a team a chance to make up lost ground when the kicker screws them and shanks an xp.Starting to change my mind . Maybe it should have been left to the college ranks where the coaching staffs are bright enough to know when to use it. On the flip side , vikings went for two and made it ( for a change) this week in an actual example of when it should be used.

50 percent would be a successful winning percentage for Minnesota

We will never sink to that low with me , The Great Oyarde as a fan , currently 524 wins 451 losses. This season will be our 20th Division title. Only the Steelers in the AFC have more playoff appearances and one other NFC team nobody cares about.

If you avg more tan 4 TD's a game and can make more than 50 percent on two point conversions you come out ahead theoretically as a whole. Nobody does it because they are hard to make. Most NFL teams are not even good at converting 4th and 1 running plays so they opt for some quick pass. Really those are easier to defend than people realize . The DB just needs to front the rec immediately. Play calling not that creative . If you have a mobile QB you can roll out to te long side of field and if your TE , Wr not open let the QB run for the pylon. There is the naked bootleg too and quick pitch to RB but you'll probably not see those outside of a HS football game..

yes the pass is easier to defend on 2 pointers.
2000-2014 997 2-point conversions were attempted. Success rate is 48.2% 43.4% passing 61.7% running

Redskins need investigated . Should have run the ball for the two point conversion. No way you would pass with a QB as bad as Wentz has been for three seasons.. Whoever called that play had money on bears.

He threw it out of the end zone too. This game was an easy under

My estimation was a 93 percent chance for under. Guy at the Indy radio station this morning said first one to 14 wins. Sounded about right to me.

Bears shouldve ran on 2nd and 3rd and goal from 4. They wouldve gotten in by then , whoever called those plays had money on Skins. When is the last time a QB won an NFL game with a QB rating of 66? If I had to guess I'd say a Thurs night game.

I could see it on 3rd down with a hurry up if they don't make it. But no doubt a run, pass option on 4th.

The Bears sucked in the red zone tonite.
