There's 11 minutes left in the game between the Vikings and Giants. The Giants are currently driving down by 8. Play by play guy says something like "if the giants score here is it two early to go for 2?" And the color guy says "yeah, there's no reason to panick this early."

Not wishing to turn this thread into another stupid announcers thread is there any reason whatsoever that he might be right? Is being behind by 1 any better than being behind by 2? The only scenario is that if the other team gets a td you would be behind by 9 instead of 8 but if you kick the PAT and that happened you would still have to go for 2 at some point so you might as well try now.

Am I wrong here?
