[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 618081"] The one coach I would expect to use the 2 point option more than others would be Belichick. He's had a track record in breaking the mold in going for it on 4th. down in unconventional situations which might spill over into EP tactics. I recall a game a few years back against the Peyton Manning Colts where he went for it on 4th. down deep in his own territory with a small late game lead. It didn't work that time; it did on at least one other subsequent occasion. He was not confident in preventing a game-losing FG if he gave Manning a relatively short field following a punt. I've seen that approach copied on a rare occasion or two. While I don't watch every game every week, it seems to me he was in the forefront in breaking the mold on those 4th.-and-1-at-the-opponent's-35 type situations by regularly going for the first down. It's pretty common now. Another strong candidate would be Rex Ryan. The outlook for the Bills is a doubling down on last year's approach...stout defense keeping scores low, anemic quarterbacking resulting in close games, a beefed up run-blocking line, the acquisition of a feature running back...his avowed approach of "ground and pound" is not smoke. Given this is a team that will need every point they can get, while being able to lean on that defense (that plays with seeming indifference to the scoreboard), in the event of a miss, provides a formula that argues for a higher 2-point attempt frequency. Even then, it will bound to be a match-up/situational calculus. [/QUOTE]
