The only problem with the call is that they have a crappy offensive line and their #2 runningback so they're not the ideal team for converting from the 2 yard line.
But as for chasing the points, I don't really buy that.
.... as we know no one gets more beneficial officiating than Indy.
It's like fools' gold. Just like Carolina in the Super Bowl. Will be interesting to see if it hurts them.
From a risk/reward standpoint, it makes no sense. From 12 yards out it's a horrible decision.

I should say that I liked the initial call of going for 2, but when they got the penalty it became a lot worse.this game's a perfect example. Two PATs means a 31-31 game if the Steelers keep the Jags out of the endzone.
Look at it this way: if the Steelers had just kicked the first PAT instead of trying to score 2 from 12-yards out , even if the Jags had scored a TD, then Pittsburgh would have been down 11 points (2 scores) not 12 (3 scores). Plus, the fact they had to go for 2 after their final TD hurt them.
Of course, it didn't help that they called a terrible fade pass.
I was okay with going for the 2 initially, but going for it after the penalty made no sense at all. With 10 minutes left, you have to expect that your Offense can move the ball for one more score.
These guys coach as if their opponent can't score again. Ouch.
