Going for two each time Theory
This should maybe be in the sports section but [censored] it.
The stat for the NFL wide % of successful two point conversions is 50%. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I interpret this to mean that an average offence in the national football league will essentially average an extra point if they went for two each time.
If this is true, what really interests me is this: If you are an NFL coach and you know that your offence is well above the league average, i.e. the colts or the sea hawks, isn't it realistic to assume that you can average more than one point, the reward for an extra point, for each try after a touchdown by going for two and thus rack up something like 7.2-7.5 points per touchdown on average?
There must be some snag here, beacuse this seems to obvious and too good to be true. Any thoughts?
