Dear Detroit: Don't pass the ball.

oplum29 · 01-21-2024, 06:04 PM

you score a TD, you're riding high, it's a one score game....and Tampa goes for 2 and fails.

that sort of call it just deflating.

i don't get it.

Lions being NN

cdub6238 · 01-21-2024, 06:05 PM

Except neither of those things is true, so not sure what your point is. I get that analytics aren’t for everyone. You definitely strike me as someone they wouldn’t be for

Here's the Bowman commercial that aired earlier in the game

Here we go.

coltsnsox07 · 01-21-2024, 06:06 PM

Okay now.

oldgoldy97 · 01-21-2024, 06:07 PM

TB loses by 1.

anusinha · 01-21-2024, 06:07 PM

Does Baker have that magic in him?

My call, they will score a TD then miss the 2pt

Hypothetically speaking.

Save your tears for when mahomes gets trashed tonight.

Scottish Punk · 01-21-2024, 06:07 PM

I don't get why the going for two is complicated. Math works out that you have a better chance to win the game. Good no call on the play as well.

One last stop needed.

But the issue is...they needed to score again regardless...

Now they HAVE to go for 2 AND make it, just to tie and hope to go into OT

Look at it this way.

The Lions are 3-1 (could go 4-1 if they win today) when they allow an opponent's WR go 140/1. Could be a problem with the defense. Could be garbage time stats. A win is a win.

Oh look, another positive comment. Take your tripod and cross over already.

That’s the hunchback guy, right?

I am not saying it is what I would have done. Simply explaining that teams do it because of the analytics. Success rates on 2 point conversions is over 50% so the numbers say go for 2 since you will have 2 chances theoretically.
