That led to me basically telling him with a grin that if he had an engineer in the booth things would probably go better. But the main issue of that particular discussion was PATs. He said, as I recall, he felt we were around 0.92 kicking PATs. I said so divide that by 2 and it tells you that is equal to a 0.46 successful rate for 2 point conversions. He said he felt we would perform better than 50% on 2 point conversions, but argued me down when I said the numbers are saying we should go for 2 every time. I said, but after 10 touchdowns you would have 10 extra points instead of 9.
