I get frustrated that the discussion always seems to immediately divert away from game context and towards discussion of conversion rates and whether a rate better than 50% can be achieved.<br /><br />To me the question should be "for a given situation, how high does a 2-pt conversion rate have to be to make it a worthwhile gamble?"<br /><br />Obviously, down by 1 with no time left on the clock, you would compare conversion rate of a 2pt attempt with the odds of winning overtime.<br /><br />Tied with no time left on the clock, the conversion rate would have to be higher than the odds of making the kick.<br /><br />But what about early in the game? I think that in most cases, there are too many unknowns to know which is more likely to lead to a win. Almost to the point where I would in fact think that perhaps that 15 minutes that you'll save in practice is worth just kicking the point most of the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
