Someone tell me why

It's some crap the US midwesterners came up with.

"I'm going to the store... you wanna go with?"

"Gather up a few tools and we'll take them with when we go."

It's really annoying.

 

"i'm going to the game, do you wanna go with?"

irritates the hell outta me too.

 

The other irritation from the west coasters and Hawaiians is ending a sentence with "ya?" to make it a question.

"We're going to be pau with this job by tomorrow, ya?"

(Dumb, confused look from me)

"That was a question."

me: "Are you sure?"

 

After you score a TD and are down 2 you always go for 2 no matter what. If you miss it your down 2 and a TD or FG puts you up, if you kick the XP your down 1 and a FG or TD put you up. If you don't go for 2 and nobody else scores the rest of the game you lose, if you go for 2 and you make it and nobody scores the rest of the game it's in OT. Simple math Jaws, simple math.

 

This is wrong. If both teams were displaying offense in this game we would have kicked the extra point. You only go for two in the 3rd quarter if you feel you have a chance of not scoring again, or if you feel you can keep the other team from scoring again. We fit into both those categories so I don't think it was a bad move. But to imply this was a common time to go for two is wrong. 95% of the time in that situation a team would kick the extra point.

 

Time Remaining In The Game
http://www.footballcommentary.com/twoptchart.htm

3-1-IND 1 (3:24) 25-L.White up the middle for 1 yard, TOUCHDOWN.
TWO-POINT CONVERSION ATTEMPT. 5-K.Collins pass to 45-A.Hall is complete. ATTEMPT SUCCEEDS.

18:24 at 2pts down is .25
that is well under .40

THAT MEANS IT AIN'T TOO EARLY... THAT MEANS YOU GO FOR IT.
according to this chart it would have to be first half to be too early to go for it.

Dude Jaws is retarded Ihate all those announcers they are so horrible it makes me not watch the game. They spend more time arguing with each other than calling the game.

 

It still doesn't matter at what point in the game it is, if your down 2 you go for 2. If we miss it then were down 2 and a FG puts us up, if we kick and XP then a FG puts us up. It makes no sense to not go for 2 when your down 2.

 

There are 2 situations that make sense to go for 1...

1. If we make it 14-13, and they score a TD, it is still a 1-score game. In which case, we STILL need to go for 2 anyways assuming they make their XP, so even with this reasoning, we are just delaying the 2-point conversion play

2. With 14 or so minutes left, Indy can score 2 FG's. If they do that, with 1 TD, we can still tie the ball game, and not have to play catchup.

At the time I was hoping to go for 1, but looking back (and knowing we made it), I do think the best play was to go for 2.

 

I think a feeling of momentum shift also factored in to the decision to go for two
