What's very clear to me after reading this thread is that there's a very good reason that none of us on this board coach football for a living.

UNGOVERNABLE
I was listening to some college broadcast yesterday (probably WI v MI) and the color guy was saying, "The D needs to bring the pressure on this 3rd down. Their offense hasn't handled it all day!" So the D brought the pressure and the offense threw a screen for a huge gain. It was glorious.
If the situation was reversed what would you want Bubbles to do, go for 2 or kick it? The Bison would be begging him to go for 2, which makes the opposite choice the right thing to do.
Pretty much like his decision to go for it on 4th down from his own 20. Every Bison fan was hoping they'd go for it because of how poorly we were moving the ball, which means he should've punted.

Kick it because going for two and being successful essentially is nail in the coffin and after that last drive wouldn't be trusting the D to stop 2 point conversion. Guess that's just me and my thought maybe played too much Madden as a kid??

Kicking it adds like 15 nails to the coffin, a successful 2 point try really only adds like 1 or 2 more. I’d take a roughly 50% chance of being down 8 over a 99% chance of being down 9 every single time. Of course neither situation is ideal but scoring 1 TD & converting a 2 point try is much more manageable than scoring, recovering an onside kick, and scoring again.
