Blame it on Abe ...
I understand that reality is that it\'s the Saints fault they\'re not in the playoffs, but considering that they really did do enough to get in if someone else would have made a correct decision, then I feel justified in blaming that person too.
Who am I going to blame? Herman Edwards. His team scored a TD on an interception in the 4th quarter making the score 26-21 and he went for 2. Stupid. I knew then that it\'d cost them and it did. Once again a coach is playing numbers rather than getting all the points he should be getting. Had he just kicked the extra point, the field goal that tied the game would have won it.
I say there are only two instances in which a coach should choose to go for two. First, at the end of the game when it is required to tie the score. Second, at any point in the second half when your team is down by 24 points or more or by 16 points or more with less than 8 minutes to play. Otherwise, just kick that dang ball!
