according to espn, bill beli-chick is a big fan of sabermetrics and almost never goes for two because, according to the percentages, of its poor ramifications for score differential the rest of the game.

while a proponent of the two simply because its more fun, john fox's decision to go for 2 with 12.5 minutes remaining was quite dubious, showed a lack of faith in his offense's ability to get in the end zone again. many have said it, the better coach usually wins the super bowl. but for real, fuck the 2-point try, casey's kick, we all know, did them in. what a disaster. so frustrating.

it seems like this year especially, beginning with the gints disaster in san fran, kickers have ruined many a team. the saints for instance, the giants all season, and now the cats. ouch. that's why kickers are so stupid, they're not really part of the team, they practice seperately, wear different helmets, and then they ruin the real work of the rest of the team by fucking up one of the most basic rules, DON'T KICK OUT OF BOUNDS, ESPECIALLY IN THE FOURTH QUARTER!!!!!! -sigh- let them try and run it back, who cares, but don't spot them at the 40, gah- so frustrating.
