re: Do people REALLY not understand why you go for two after the first TD when down 15?

I would rather kick the XP and be down 8 (i.e. it's still a one-possession game despite what shel keeps arguing) than be down 9 with not enough time to get the ball back, score, get the ball back again, and score. If you go for the two first and don't get it, you've fricked yourself out of a chance to tie, whereas if you kick the XP early, it's still a one possession game and you can get the ball back with a chance to tie the game.

When you make this point you have to assume you miss the two point conversion after the second td to adequately compare the scenarios. I don't understand why this is so hard to understand.
