Nope. Here’s why

You always go for two on the LAST touchdown. It was pretty clear the Vikings needed another TD to have a chance.

2 dumb decisions. Going for 2 instead of 1, not kicking the FG. Coaches fault...

Right call to not kick the field goal.

Except, not even Wilson can score 9 points in one drive to win.

...that’s not how this works.

It’s exactly how football works.

Lol no. You can’t compound the two decisions. The game would’ve played out differently with a different score.

TCuz

Right. But he can score 8 and tie it up.

Yeah I thought it was an easy call. Go up 8 and give him the ball back or get

Both were correct. Just didn’t work out.

Going for two was not correct IMO

Math disagrees. 100% no brainer call.

You have that exactly backwards.

TCuz

How so?

puntersarepeople

10/11/20 9:51pm

Going for 2 as late as possible makes the failure to convert the 2 more catastrophic. You go as soon as you know you

Aren’t you better off making end game decisions knowing the result of the 2pt?

10/11/20 9:49pm

It was 19-21

And if you fail then you have less time to make up the difference than if you

Yeah but you trade off having less info about game score and number of

They would have gone for 2 later had they taken the extra point in the 3rd.

RB should’ve converted but picked the wrong hole

If that's Cook, the Vikings win.

Lance71

10/11/20 9:35pm

Probably. If Cook never goes out they probably win 10+

Outcome based judgment of prospective decisions is a flawed way of thinking.
