Just some math nerd stuff after reading comments on another kicking thread today. If any of it is wrong, please let me know.
Since 2016, Ghost has made 150 of 159 extra points. That is a 94.3% success rate. We would total the same number of points, on average, if we succeeded on 47.15% of two point conversions.
Let's say our current offense earns four touchdowns a game. Were we to make 55% of two point conversions -- a high success rate but likely achievable with our offense -- we'd earn an average of 0.6 additional points per game. To earn a full point more per game when we score four touchdowns, we'd need to make 59.7% of our two point conversions. With our offense, that seems doable when you factor in the additional focus Belichick and McDaniels would be spending on the play.
What are people's thoughts on making the two point conversion our default choice after touchdowns? There are situations when the higher conversion rate of the one point approach would be preferable/strategic, but in a general sense would you be fine with Belichick trailblazing by making the two point conversion the norm for this offense?
