I have talked about this before here, but good offenses should just start going to two points every TD until the situation really demands just an extra point
Tomlin did that a bit when it was first introduced, but stopped not too long after. The big problem is if you're up 6 if you go for 2 and miss, the other team only has to kick to win the exchange. It's like the opposite math as to why you go for 2 when you score when down 14.

The thing is good teams score a lot of TDs and convert a lot of two point conversations. So they generally will be ahead in that exchange. But it’s bad optics when it doesn’t go your way which is why I think teams stray from it

Going to keep calling for Dorian to be benched and hope he makes me look dumb. Easily the worst player on the field
More importantly, why are Bernard and Dorian the guys splitting coverage of TYREEK HILL? D seems more confused than usual, but at least still locking it down (knock on wood, Val)

Better to lose conventionally than to be unconventional. A coach who does it and fails will never get another shot.

I'd love to see a team go for 2 every time in the first half, and then in the 2nd half decide based on game management. Bonus: if you commit to it, you're probably going to practice those plays a hell of a lot more than your opponent, so you might be better than the percentages suggest.
