[QUOTE="Ogsponge, post: 668789, member: 9358"] All valid points, i did want to find other numbers as well such as % of overtime games that end on the first drive. But I have another set of numbers for you. Before that game, Rodgers and the Pack were 0-6-1 in overtime games. So by going to overtime they are relying on a coin toss win, a low chance of 1st drive TD and Rodgers and McCarthy doing something they have never done, winning an overtime game. Again, I do understand kicking the extra point, I really do, but in this exact situation I firmly believe that while kicking is the safe bet, it did not in any way give the Packers the best chance to win that game and I am not saying that going for two gave them a 90% chance to win the game or anything like that, I simply believe going for two was more of a coin flip proposition than trying to win the game in overtime which i believe their chances were incredibly low, like single digit percentage low. The Pack just had too many things going against them, not the least of which was a decimated offense and a defense lacking confidence and poise in crunch time. Anyway, my whole point was that I am definitely not one of the people that would have been screaming for McCarthy's head on a failed 2 point conversion. [/QUOTE]
