4. Packers letting Huntley scamper right into the end zone was pretty stupid too.

So maybe everybody's tired and not thinking straight. Too tired to play overtime.

9. Ravens moved the ball well on their last two possessions

One could argue it made sense to go for the two points. However, in a short season with the division title at stake you’ve got to play it safe and go for the tie to win in overtime. The two point conversion is always risky IMO. The passing field is too short and it’s too easy for the defense to stuff the box.

But like I posted above, I’m okay with the decision because I loathe Baltimore. And they lost.

11. Two point conversions are not that rare. It's only 2 yards.

If an offense can't gain 2 yards, and most scrimmage plays gain at least 2 yards, they don't need to be on the field.

That was just a horrible call by the offensive coordinator.

must be called though. They're made every Sunday and missed every Sunday. Again, have to make the right call.

Yet I knew enough that the kick would take them into overtime ..sure but not a give away loss ...I say, always go with a safe play.
