Does the advanced math say otherwise?
Baltimore scores a touchdown to close the gap to 21 - 19.
Baltimore elects to go for two pts to tie it up.
They fail at the two point play, and the score remains 21 - 19 Buffalo leads.
Does the fancy math say kick the extra point, worry about the one point deficit later ?
The two point attempt decision was huge the way the game played out.
Anything on the internet about this decision?

Interesting. I’d love to know too.
Just so frustrating.
- Henry drop on opening series; ultimately didn't cost us
- Bizarre interception by missing coverage; doesn't cost us any points
- Andrews drop, immediately leads into Lamar fumble next play
- Terrible goal-line series, only getting a FG
- Andrews fumble, great defensive play but can't be losing that ball
- Andrew 2-pt drop
Hat tip to Bills in first half especially, controlled both lines really well. Buffalo doesn't often miss cashing in that 3rd-and-goal to ice the game. The call on White for DPI was Chiefs-esque, granted so was the phantom hold on Buffalo late in the 1st in Baltimore territory. But majority of these are self inflicted wounds. Defense was mostly good, all things considered. Team has way too much talent to come out of the last 6 years without even reaching a Superbowl.
Baltimore's last 11 offensive players were non-Henry runs. But, that was a function of the score and gametime remaining.
Prior to that, Henry ran on 16 of Baltimore's 44 plays. (36.4%) He was also targeted on two passing plays (0 receptions).
Yea that number is misleading. The turnovers and game situation meant they couldn’t just pound Henry 30 times.
I don’t think you can pin this one on Harbaugh, they could easily have won the game by double digits if not for random **** ups.

I mean when there's a lot of time left, there's always a chance the other team kicks two FGs and you score one TD and you can "get back" the point that you left on the table by kicking the XP down two, but it's never something you should count on. As far as other scenarios that make the try relevant, it feels like much more common/likely one is both teams matching scores the rest of the way, in which case you're gonna be really happy you went for two (if successful).
I don't mind coaches that don't go for it earlyish in games (like being OK kicking the XP to be down 14-13 early 2Q or something), since there truly are a million ways for the numbers to get weird at that stage of the game. But anytime in 2nd half I think I try to tie when I can.
+1
and then all the support shifts to WAS and JD in the SB
some ppl itt thought the same. i didn't see that DPI as egregious. certainly not a 100% ran through the receiver type DPI, but close enough to not lose any sleep over if i were a BAL fan
really?
