Going for 2, for the win? - Dallas Cowboys Forum

Cwat81 · 12-24-2012

Is there ever a good time to do this? It seemed that the Boys best chance to win was to gain 2 yards, rather than hoping to win the toss in overtime.

I told my brother I would have went for two. I just didn't trust the defense to make a stop. Now if that would have been the right thing to do who knows. I also didn't think the offense would sputter like that in OT either.

I was hoping they wouldve went for it. they couldnt have won the division or made the playoffs or been shut out of the playoffs with a win or loss.

I would have gone for two:End the game

1.I didn't like our chances of scoring three straight touchdowns

2.I didn't like our chance at all on defense

There was a good chance they would have all but been eliminated with a loss to N.O. and a Giants win at Baltimore. I don't see NY losing to Philly this week. We would have been a game behind even if we beat Wash.

The thought did cross my mind to go for two but noway do you go for the conversion there. The offense was hot at the time.

yes, we were hot until OT...

I was actually more surprised that the Saints didn't pull their fourth down bluff. They had nothing to play for and there wasn't a person in the stadium who thought the Cowboys could keep them from getting it. I guess there were "integrity of the game" issues...

Fade To Dez in the End Zone, or toss Sweep to Murray...TD everytime

This.Our offense was torching them. Best thing that could have happened did. We won the toss. Then the worst thing that could of happened did. Our O sputtered.

No way. You make it and you're a genius. You don't you might lose your job and you're definitely the laughing stock of the entire NFL. Make that US. No world.

They made a mistake changing the offense in OT. Every time Tony runs wide open offense we get gobs of yardage. Jason was afraid Tony would turn the ball over so he went by the rules.

Thats garretts biggest problem. Lacks faith in his players

I was saying go for two after the first TD. If you miss it you have another chance at 2 just to tie. It seems like a pretty good probability to me.

Then, they probably would have gone for it on fourth down

Where did I say they would have been eliminated? I said all but eliminated. Their only hope would have been for a wildcard (if the Giants won and beat Phil) and would need a lot of help to get that wildcard.
