LWC611 Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 Why on earth did the Jets go for two in last night's game. What was the spread? Assuming that two points would keep the bengals from covering it is almost as if ythat was the intent of the move. Unless it was to have Chad go out knowing that his last two passes were for scoring plays... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjam76 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Mangini had a bet that they'd lose by 7? I don't know that last series was odd. Marvin Lewis calls a timeout and Mangini goes for two. It was like both coaches didn't comprehend the clock read 00:00 and there is no such thing as a 8 point Extra Point Play. That or either both made bets on the game.

JacksonvilleJetsFan Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I'm not sure what the spread was yesterday, but I saw it at 6 points on Thursday night, so unless it moved between then and kickoff, that would not have been the reasoning. I would have liked to see someone ask him about that in the post game interview. There was no need for that 2 point play. That was one of the strangest ending I have seen to a game.

raffyD Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 The broadcasters said that the Rule is if you score with 0:00 showing on the clock (and no chance of tying or taking the lead with a PAT) then you must attempt the 2 pt conversion. That's actually why Marvin Lewis called a timeout, he needed to send a defense on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just said you had to attempt the PAT, that you couldnt just end the game without it being attempted. They went for 2 cause it looks better I suppose.

I did think it was a strange rule at the time so you may very well be right. Someone else might know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacksonvilleJetsFan Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I was watching Mike and Mike this morning, and they mentioned that it is the rule that you must attempt the PAT, but did not mention anything about having to go for 2.

But there is no rule that states what you have to do. Can you imagine if they had a rule and the QB got hurt and lost for the year (not Pennington, another QB, lol). In overtime (sudden death) the game ends when the ball crosses the end zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Mangini went for 2 because you always try to score as many points as possible. It might come down to a tie breaker when they finish 9 and 7. Point differential could decide if they go to the playoffs or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Why not try a 2 point conversion when you're going to lose anyway? The spread was 6 1/2 so it didn't have anything to do with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PS was 7 in some places and the pools I'm in all add 1/2 pt to the whole number spreads so that there are no pushes. That 2 point convert made a difference in some pools.

JetCane Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Manidiot wanted to make them all run a lap, but the ref said he couldnt, so he made them go out there and try for two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Bit Special Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 you go for 2 because you use every opportunity to work on key aspects of the game... a 2pt conversion might be needed to tie a game later this year. Mangini is a coach right till the end. You never know when that will sink in with the players that the coach isnt giving up and neither should they. Mangini might not be doing a great job this year, but he does know the way to being a good coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 It was probably nothing more than a free practice shot at a 2-point conversion against another defense. But with the game already over, and that defense being the Bengals, I'm not sure what's really gained anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 while it's no secret we need practise getting in the endzone from the redzone, why practise with a q back who hopefully won't be there anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Chad threw his INT-TD (I was wondering if he was going to rip off the paying public and not throw one Sunday) I wouldn't have put Clemens in either. It was Pennington's dookie after that pick. No need to rub Kellen's face in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
