What is our record on 3rd and 2(or less) and 4th and 2(or less)? I don't recall it being very good, but perhaps you just remember screwing up more than you do making it. Lacy in better shape should certainly help along with a tall TE in Jared Cook.

Get real man.

So one week you are playing the Browns and you score 5 TDs. You go for 2 after each one and make it every time and you win the game 40-0. The next week you play the Seahawks and you score 2 TDs, you go for 2 each time and don't make either one and you lose the game 13-12. Its still great because hell you are 5 of 7 on 2 point conversions on the year and as long as you are over 50% its all good right? Hell yeah, lets go for 2 every time.

As you can see from below, the Packers converted two-point attempts against Seahawks, Vikings, Cardinals, Panthers and Redskins, all of which were in the playoffs.

Seahawks 1 - 1
Lions 0 - 2
Vikings 1 - 1
Cardinals 1 - 1
Panthers 1 - 1

Redskins 1 - 1

I think they should line up to go for two every time. If Aaron believes they have the right call against the D or that he can audible into the right call for the D, go for it. If he's not confident he can make an off sides move, a penalty would stop the play/clock without a time out, and then punt or repeat. 😲 😕 😂

It doesn't matter if you make 5 of 6 in games you win big if that one you fail to convert on costs you a close one. I don't have a problem if they try it more often but to simply say lets do it every time doesn't make any sense and it has nothing to do with being afraid to pour it on.

As far as McCarthy's comments, the only way he doesn't have an issue going for it every time is if he does go for it every time and we all know he won't so in reality, he does have an issue with going for it every time.

Mathematically, there’s no question that it would be the right call for some teams. Last year across the NFL, kickers went 1,146-for-1,217 (94.2 percent) on extra points, while offenses went 45-for-94 (47.9 percent) on two-point conversions. In other words, an extra point kick produced, on average, 0.942 points, while a two-point conversion attempt produced, on average, 0.958 points. The risks already (slightly) outweigh the rewards of going for two.

We’ve studied it, and mathematically, it does make sense.
