NFL WEEK 10

[Derwood]

Thriller in Baltimore.

Bengals down 7 with 2 minutes left, and the Ravens have committed about 9 penalties to help them drive down for the tying score. Bengals were up 21-7 and choked the lead, and now the Ravens are trying to choke it back.

[Derwood]

Bengals score and are going for 2....risky

Just kidding, they just tried to get them to jump, now they're going for the XP

EDIT: Nope, they're still out there....and they didn't convert

EDIT 2: TE got held like crazy and no call

EDIT 3: AND an uncalled facemask on Burrow

This damn time change has me going to bed early. I did turn on the game in bed, but was asleep early in the 2nd quarter. Damn, I'm an old curmudgeon.

Stupid risk by the Bengals coach. OT is a risk, but it’s not a one-play risk when the result is the difference between 5-5 and 4-6 (while giving the division leader a bigger lead)

Plus this is different than the KC game.  Ravens still had time and 2 timeouts.  There was no guarantee they would have won even if they got the 2-pt conversion.  I think in this case they should have just tied it.

Disagree, I know there is 30 seconds still left but going for two avoids OT which is relying on a coinflip, with that defense if you lose the flip you might never get the ball back again if Baltimore scores a TD in OT.

Yes you might still lose if you convert the 2pt on a last second field goal, but the same thing might happen if you kick the XP to tie it at 35-35

The difference between being 5-5 (with BAL 6-4) and being 4-6 (with BAL 7-3) is too big a risk

A bigger risk than relying on a coin flip? 2pt conversion percentage is like 53%, Playing OT on the road is less than 50%. XP only guarantees you OT at best(if Baltimore doesn't march down and kick a last second FG

Unless BAL wins the flip and scores a TD on the first play, then you have multiple chances to change the outcome of the game.

A 2-pt conversion is putting the entire game on one play

There’s risks of course, but it’s completely justifiable to make that move.

I'm just saying I wouldn't do it. Hindsight, etc...

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Worth noting the Ravens had scored a touchdown on 4 consecutive drives, the odds of the coin flip ending the game one way or another were pretty high.  It's the same situation from the Tampa/Kansas City game from Monday but the opposite decision. KC didn't aggressively try for a FG in those last 30 seconds, won the coin toss and Tampa never had the ball again.  When you're on the road against a great QB that is playing well if you have any trust in your offense I think you need to show faith in them and go for it.
