It is insane to think about going for two at the end of regulation with Luck at qb and the rest of our offense even on the road.

I'm not sure what you mean here, Pete. If you're saying why go for two when OT would have put the ball in Luck's hands....well, going for two on the PAT would have put the ball in his hands, too.

With Luck, I think our offense is better than theirs and was playing better at the end of regulation.  The longer they played, the more that difference would be revealed and the more likely we were to win the game.  You only go for two if you think that you won't come out ahead if the game is extended because you aren't as good as the other team.  In a single two-point attempt the advantage might not show and you could lose the game.  So, with the better offense, you should go for the much higher percentage kick and tie the game. 

Cheers,
Pete F.
