If you don't get in on the 2 point conversion, and lose the game, when you could have easily tied it, everyone will be asking the "what ifs" that could have been in overtime, and yes you will look pretty stupid.

99% PAT and getting a chance of winning it in overtime... or 48% of winning the game on the spot with a 2 point conversion? There's a reason why it's not a gamble coaches take.
