:cry: :cry: :cry: the defense can't stop any running back much less one like Maurice Jones-Drew. I'm thinking Packers 27 Jags 23 *keeping fingers crossed*

1. Whoops I think you jinxed them
Why'd the Jags go for two on the last TD when they didn't need to?:shrug:

2. It's "the chart."
Commentators refer to it, don't know if a coach really carries it in his pocket, but basically it gives you a list of when you should go for two. Some of them are pretty simple - i.e., if after getting 6 pts you trail by 2, go for it. Or if after scoring 6 you are ahead by 1, go for 2.

Well one of the less-obvious decisions is that after you score a TD, if you are up by 4, you should go for two. Why? Because that makes your opponent need TWO FGs to tie instead of two FGs winning it. If you're ahead by 4, ahead by 5, or ahead by 6, a TD will still beat you, so you might as well go for 2. At least that's how I understand it.
