I still don't get why he went for two....
Kicking the extra point puts us up by 12 at that point and they would have no choice but to score two TD's.
The alternative is going up by 13, which is basically no diff than being up by 12 and the risk was leaving yourself at 11 up and being tied by a FG, a TD and two point conversion. -
13 Points--- Need 2 TD's or TD and 2 FG= good situation-2 possesion game, or 3 possession game.
12 Points---need 2 td's or td and 2 fg to win---bad situation, 2 possession or 3 possesion game.
11 points- need 1 td, 2 point conversion, and FG to tie, not so good.
Better odds of winning, but not a huge risk by going for 2. I liked it. -
If you make the two and go up by 13, there is a chance of them missing an extra point on one of the TD's. That is the main difference to me honestly. Though I don't believe it was worth it.

If Miami gets the 2-pt conversion, they're up by 12. If it is the end of the game, the Jets would absolutely have to go for a TD instead of a FG (if they score a TD with a 2-pt conversion earlier). Their chances of scoring a TD late gives makes Miami's defensive calls more manageable, especially if they're out of timeouts.
Miami is still up by 11 without the conversion. With it, the game is tougher for the Jets.
Once it's broken down, it absolutely makes sense.
** Looking at my post, I think I'm doing some silly math here. Let me renege my post. **
OK, so Miami is still up 11 w/o conversion. Jets could:
- TD w/2 and FG to tie
If Miami makes FG, they'd be up by 12:
- Two TDs to win. Or TD and 2 FGs to win.
Miami makes conversion, up by 13:
- Two TDs to win. Or TD with 2 pt. and two FGs to win. Or TD with 2 FGs to tie.
I guess he was playing the odds? Whatever those odds were....jetssuck likes this. -

Speaking of Sparano, I wonder how much his lack of being the head coach is playing onto this. Anyone know how many years he has as a head coach in the past? -

I'm not ready to commit to better than Madison and Surtain... These guys were shutdown corners... Hard to find 1, never mind 2.
I'd love to be wrong though. -
-
not sure they play the same type game ... the good news Smith and Davis will tackle ...
we don't need Marion and Knight, we need LT and Pepper Johnson ... we NEED LBs much more than Ss .... note the difference in our defense when we are getting pressure on the QB vs in the 2d halves when we aren't .... it's the front 7 that sets the table. -
ok so.....sean smith....vontae davis......future corners. bright bright future.
dline.....langford, merling, starks, soliai, mcdaniel.....bright bright future.
clemmons has me excited. wake......needs to dust his coverage up alot. porter and jt are gettin old.....crowder we can upgrade....same with akin and torbor.....
roth....tough situation to spot....
but all in all.....our dline and corners are set imo. we upgrade LB and Safety......holy ****....our defense can be dynasty-like !!!!!
