Threaten you? You have a wild imagination.
Actually, you were threatening me. However, as usual, you veiled them, so I deleted that part of my post even before you replied. Nonetheless, you did read it, so consider yourself warned regarding future threats against me.
And yes, the stupidity and the asinine comments WERE personal, and I amsure most people would agree. They had no business inthe context of your comments.
Look, from what I've seen of your posts, you are, in fact, stupid and asinine, at least when it comes to football and politics. Nonetheless, I wasn't attacking you personally, and I even flat out stated that I was attacking your post in my second response. If I were attacking you personally, I'd stand behind my comments and proudly defend them.
And my comment is not stupid, in fct, under the given circumstance, Ibelieve that many people would have gone for two points, and the win.
As I said, at that point you have the ball....in overtime you may never get to see it again.
Logic says that you take the opportunity with the ball..
Maybe not so in an earlier game, but when there is a lot on the line, as was the case yesterday, you have the ball , use it...because, as I said, it is ignorance to put your entire season in the fate of a coin flip....
Have faith in your team that they can move a football 2 yards rather than have faith in whether a coin will fall heads, or tails.
No, your comment is still stupid. Again, 94% chance to keep playing versus a 57% chance you lose. People are entitled to play whichever odds they chose. But, when you play the odds that are almost certain to succeed and lose, you still didn't make the wrong play. Logic says you take the proper percentage. So, let's break it down:
94% chance of tying = 6% chance of losing
43% chance of winning = 57% chance of losing
Now, even if you continue playing odds after that, it's still going to favor the PAT.
50% chance on the coin flip.
Here are some numbers for you, Chief:

So, 94% chance you go to overtime. Once in overtime, statistically, you're going to get a chance to get the football for the win. In the 2003 season, the number of wins and losses based upon the coin flip were essentially even, 12-11. You can feel free to look up more recent years, this is just from the first site I found. The odds seem to say that both teams will likely get the ball and far less than 57% of the overtime games ended with the coin toss resulting in the team that won it scoring on its first possession.
Again, the Bengals weren't wrong and your argument claiming they were was stupid.
Oh, yeah.... you still lied about not attacking the O.C., so you might want to toss out an apology.
