Okay, so, let’s talk about this “post touchdown attempt” thing. You know, what happens right after a team scores a touchdown in football.
First off, I remember this one game I was watching. The team I was rooting for just scored a touchdown. We were all hyped up! They had just tied the game, and it was down to the wire. Now comes the “post touchdown attempt.”
The coach decided to go for the extra point kick. It’s the usual move, you know? You kick the ball through the goalposts, and if you make it, you get one extra point. So, the kicker lines up, the ball is snapped, and boom! He nails it. We’re up by one point! It was such a rush.
But then I started thinking, what if they had gone for the two-point conversion instead? That’s when things get really interesting. Instead of kicking, they try to run or pass the ball into the end zone again, right from the 2-yard line. If they make it, they get two points. It’s riskier, but the reward is bigger. It’s like, do you play it safe or go for the glory?
I remember another time when the coach decided to go for two. The tension was insane! Everyone was on the edge of their seats. The quarterback gets the ball, looks for a receiver, and throws a bullet pass. The receiver catches it in the end zone! Two points! The crowd went wild. It was such a gutsy call, and it paid off.
Here’s how it usually went down in my experience:
- The Touchdown: The team scores, everyone cheers, and the ref signals a touchdown.
- The Decision: The coach has to decide – go for the extra point kick (1 point) or the two-point conversion (2 points).
- Extra Point Attempt: If they go for the kick, the kicker tries to boot the ball through the uprights. If he makes it, they get one point. If he misses, well, tough luck.
- Two-Point Conversion Attempt: If they go for two, it’s like another play from scrimmage. They gotta get the ball into the end zone again. If they make it, they get two points. If not, no points, and it’s a bit of a letdown.
- Kickoff: After the post touchdown attempt, regardless of success or failure, the team that just scored kicks the ball off to the other team, and the game continues.
One time, I tried to do a two-point conversion in a video game. I thought I was being all strategic and stuff. But nope, I messed it up big time. The other team intercepted the ball, and we ended up losing by one point. I was so bummed out. Lesson learned: sometimes it’s better to play it safe.
I also found that if the conversion attempt didn’t cross the goal line, then there’s no points, and it would be a pity. After that, the team that just scored will kick off to the opposing team. And also, I realized that failed conversions often are because of poor play execution, like miscommunication, incorrect route running, you name it. These are what I have learned so far.
So yeah, that’s my take on post touchdown attempts. It’s a small part of the game, but it can make a huge difference. It’s all about strategy, risk, and sometimes, just plain luck.
