And you are assuming that if we kick the XP, get the ball back, miss the 2 pt conversion, that we aren’t in the exact same situation.

You guys are acting like waiting to go for 2 guarantees that we convert it. Does it really matter if we know the odds are heavily against us with 4 minutes or 1?


missing it the first time round almost guarantees you a two or three score game. Why cant you see it

I literally said this earlier. Missing it the second time round does the exact same thing. Why can’t you see it

because who gives a frick about the second time if you frick up the FIRST time. You dont even have a second chance. You slammed the door on yourself getting greedy up front. Hello?

This is the most frustrating thing ever.

Chex are you really questioning why we’re assuming we score a second TD? None of these decisions matter if we don’t score a second TD.

Your argument is purely emotional

You two are greedy and want your points up front and are willing to risk going down by three scores with time on the clock. Done.

Argument over.

My point is explain to me how the following scenario you laid out is any different from this one:
Get ball back
Score TD (miss the 2 pt conversion)
Onside kick
Kick FG

Realistically we would be missing the 2 pt conversation and that would be it given the time we had on our side. We didn’t even have Bo out there to finish the game because we knew the game was all but sealed.

Umm yeah. Did you wanna see Finley out there? Does living to see another play not mean anything to you?

I HAVE TO RISK GOING DOWN THREE SCORES EITHER WAY

One option leaves me with more time on the clock if I do go down three scores.

Not sure how you can argue Bo was giving up when we scored a TD

Your reading comprehension is apparently shite.

What are you even talking about?

Weasel: You never explained why Auburn going for 2 while Auburn was down 9 gave Auburn a higher chance to win.

Looked to me like we pulled Bo because he couldn’t run and wasn’t able to put near as much on the ball in a situation that we had to push the ball down the field.

You said do or die is the same thing as giving up.

It is not. Basically what that boils down to.

Jesus Christ. Yes I was begging to see Finley who I adamantly was against playing even when this entire board was for it after the GA State game.

We get it guys. All we are arguing is that it doesn’t matter if you fail the first attempt or kick and fail the second attempt. Both scenarios end in losing the game.

If y’all want to argue that kicking first gives you a better chance at converting the second then I’m all ears and could potentially get on board with it. I just feel like most of us have been arguing two slightly different things.

This is peak Auburn board though. A few of us melting and arguing over something we have no control over and it probably way down the list of things that went wrong and caused us to lose the game. All love for you gents though

thats not what we are arguing. At all.

Argument - DONT GO FOR TWO DOWN 9 with three time outs and 3+ minutes on the clock.

That is the argument.

Reasons why not - Miss the 2 pt conversion and its a two score game and you have to onside kick, giving them great field position in plus territory.

He literally just led us to a TD lmao. If Bo completed the 2 you can believe Bo would be back out there if we had the chance.

I agree with this argument but that’s not the argument I was making. Like I said, I feel like we are arguing different things
