What was Tenn thinking going for the 2 point conversion instead of sending the game to OT?

I thought their defenses played really well in the 2nd half of the game, no way am I putting the whole game on a 50/50 play, especially when my defense is my strongest unit.

I wouldn't have gone for two either, but my bigger issue is passing after the penalty moved the ball to the 1 yard line. I'd much rather take my chances with Mariota and Henry or Lewis running an option play from there.

Going for it was a terrific call. Why they didn't run it from the 1-yard line I do not understand.

Overtime is at best a 50-50 proposition. One play from the 2-yard line is also about a 50-50 proposition. From the 1-yard line, it's even better. The Chargers D was exhausted and you were running all over them in the second half. Go for it and run the ball.

:facepalm:

1. This is an "early game" thread.
2. It was created 3 minutes BEFORE yours about going for two.
I meant my comments were on my thread..i added dumb as the decision to go for two not your thread

Tennesee going for 2 twice in a row was dumb
Sorry, but this makes no sense. You can argue against going for 2 the first time. But you obviously go for it the second time when you're getting the ball at the 1-yard line.

I originally picked the Commanders but considering how banged up they are I'm waffling on this game. I will be seriously pissed if the Cowboys win. 4-3 means they'll win too many games to get a high draft pick or probably any changes in management/coaching, and they still won't be anything resembling a true contender any time soon. The win would be a meaningless feel good moment that leads to nothing good in January.

Damn it.

Hail or Fail. Your choice today.

Yeah, that was Linehan-level playcalling inside the 5 yard line there.
