There's nobody that would go for two to go up 7 at the beginning of the 4th quarter. If there's less than 5 minutes, probably, but not at that time.

You go for 2 in that spot even in the first quarter.

Bobby Blue Chip, you're dead wrong... they were up 5 points... you for for 2 to be up 7 especially when your QB had been so horrendous the whole game.

You want to be up by two field goals nd you want to make sure that your next field goal puts you up by two scores.

I think if you guys just carry the one, you'll get there.

So, in your opinion, they made the correct decision in this situation?

they were up 5 not 7 going for 2 to make it a FG game would be the thing to do. If you want to make it wher we have to score a TD to win then you go for 1

fuk my bad i looked at it wrong i thought Cleveland was down 15-10 but they were actually up 15-10 correct? If thats the case then yes goign for 1 is the right thing to do at that point in time. But some coaches would go for 2 which is not wrong at all either.

Yes. . . And that's without taking into consideration that the browns today had a lot less chance of converting a two-point conversion than an average team.

So what do you think about the Steelers going for 2 in the same exact situation?

I'll call you at 330am eastern. :toast:

You go for 2, especially when you're QB has been so awful. I've heard coaches say anything past 5 minute of 3rd quarter, go for 2 in the same situation. At any rate, the Browns probably don't make it, but should have done it.
