Kicking XP after cutting 14 point lead to 8 w 6 mins left

How many times does it have to be explained why it is better to go for 2 in that situation?

It ended up not mattering because the Giants team is pathetic and it goes all the way up to terrible ownership who relies more on a reputation of being classy in a traditional sense than of being a winner and on the cutting edge.

But it is ridiculous that in this day and age, and with the XP pushed back to 37 yards, that Shurmur would opt to kick there.

Remember he did it last year and people here killed him for it?

No pleasing everyone, but I agree. I think he didn't do it because he didn't want to get questioned. Spineless.
12 minutes left when they scored

to cut it to eight, before the XP.

Bills then took six minutes for their drive and scored with six minutes remaining.

You may still want to argue the point, but there are generalized stats and particular circumstances and player abilities.

I wouldn't kill PS for that call, myself.
Kind of like how it makes more sense to throw on first down.

How many first down runs did we see today? Shurmur was an awful game manager last year and this year isn't better. The only reason it isn't more glaringly obvious is the team is so bad

coaches should do whatever

it takes to win (within the lines, of course), and not do things because they are afraid of being questioned by fans.
I'd have kicked the extra point too

Just for the record

Nobody but some deluded Giants fans think Mara is classy

Fans of other teams generally think he is a manipulative POS who exercises undo influence behind the scenes
