It's called being Risk Averse. What happens if they go for it, don't get it, and lose the game by one. Then its "WTF did he go for 2pt conversion!!!11!1!111" I was perfectly fine kicking it instead of sticking it. I hate the luck argument. Based on your thinking then, the Jets were UNLUCKY in 2011 because had Cro not fumbled the punt return at Oakland, we would have went to the PO's. Teams create their own luck. A lucky bounce, a dropped Int, etc. Its part of the game. Its not luck. Its the physics behind the play that caused the outcome to be what it was.
