    Is it wrong to go for 2 in this situation?

    I am all about playing straight up and everything, but anytime someone jumps the snap on my extra point and gives me a chance to get an extra point from the 1 yard line, I am going to take it.

    For instance, in an online ranked game I was Stanford against Oklahoma State. He scored first, taking a 7-0 lead. I scored twice in a row. After the second TD, he got an offsides penalty on my point after. With the ball placed on the one, I decided to go for two and put the pressure on him the rest of the game. I was successful.

    It ended up being a HUGE difference in the game, as he scored a FG before the half giving me a 15-13 lead. He threw a pick on his next drive and I scored a TD off of it, giving me a 9-point lead. That in effect ended the game as he was now down by two possessions with one quarter to play. If I don't get the two, I would have still been up by 7 there. If I took the XP, I would have been up by 8 and that's only one possession.
    Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Oakland Athletics - Houston Astros - New York Knicks.
    I ama HUGE fight fan. My favorite fighters include Felix Sturm, Jose Luis Castillo, and John Ruiz.

      It's risk/reward and you were rewarded. I say it was risky and I would have went for the XP, but I would not be calling you "cheesey" for taking a risk. These darn coaches "cheese" every week; the Rams cheesed my Redskins to death with those inside slants and crosses, lol.

              i say if he makes the mistake of moving you to the 1 yard line hes asking for 2, i think most coaches that had any faith in their RB would do exactly what you did.

                  Personally its a coach move. If he thinks your beeing cheesy, thats cause he just lost off of it. Thats like saying if its 4th and 6 and the defense jumps off sides, and now its 4th and 1, ur supposed to punt...just because?

                  its a high risk, high reward payoff and a decision that a coach would have to make. Being in that same position, depending on the players I have vs. the defense...I would do the same thing.
