Everyone who said we should have gone for two are now eating your words.
I told ya!!!

I guess I'm not following, we'd still be down a point if we'd kicked the Xp and made the FG instead of going on 4th down. That's 4 points, we're down 5?

So we'd still have to go for 2 now to tie the game, which is what we were saying earlier?

It's a little different when you have Peyton Manning.

I think that Matt Leinart can be as good as Peyton Manning. The problem is that neither Anquan nor Fitz require the secondary to keep a safety deep, and they can be taken out of games. With a passing game as good as ours, we should be able to force defenses from keeping seven or eight in the box. But because neither threaten safeties over the top, we can't run when they're able to stop the pass.

Yes.. but what would you rather be doin... going for 2 now with a chance to tie... or relyin on an onside kick...

We put ourselves in a terrible spot having to go for it on 4th and 13... when if we had played it smart, we could have kicked the FG and made it an 8 point game...

You always save the 2 point try for the end of the game..

We wouldn't have gone for it on 4th and 13 if Rackers had made the earlier field goal, I think he's saying.

no we would have already been tied. we gave up a 3 pt'er

No the score was 31-19 and we missed the 2 point conversion. If we kcik the XP it's 31-20. Then you kick the FG instead of going for it, assuming Rackers makes it, 31-23. Now after the TD, we STILL have to go for 2 and MAKE it, to tie the game. you're acting like the 2 point conversion was a given, but it's not.

Leinart throws a sweet deep ball, man. Not Daunte Culpepper sweet, but 100 times better than we've seen in the past decade...

we'd still be down at some point you HAD to get a 2 point conversion. That's my whole point, if it's not a good play at 31-19 because you might not make it, why assume you'll make it at the end?
