Actually, it almost did. If Elliot hits that FG there's a chance at a hail Mary if they get the onside kick

If anything it's better to go for it IMO. The result governs your kickoff strategy.

Had they kicked the PAT, gotten a stop on D, scored again and missed the 2-pt later there's a good chance the clock reads 0:00.

This way they had the chance to stop short, kick the FG, onside kick + hail Mary

Yeah, going for 2 governs the kick off strategy.

PAT or 2-pt converted - kick away
failed 2-pt - onside

In the kick away scenario there's a very good chance you end up with no time to onside after.

in the fail 2-pt you atleast know what has to happen (if it's possible is another thing)

Also, going for 2 upfront then made the decision on kick away vs onside kick, knowing you need 2 scores

If they hit the PAT, they would have kicked away hoping for a stop. Assuming they got the ball back, there might not have been time for an onside kick after a failed 2-pt.

For the mental heath of Philadelphia, going for it upfront is probably better. We can't get our hopes up that way

Engineer here. I ran the models.

7+7 < 15
7 +8 = 15
8+ 7 = 15

Let me know if you have any more scenarios I can do

I appreciate him ripping the band aid off. Now I won't get my hopes up, and I go start heating up leftovers unbothered

we're psychopaths. It's safer if he lets us down early and give us 3 min to cool down instead of waiting for 0:00. It's probably better this way

I appreciate Nick doing it upfront, before I can get my hopes up. Now I can go heat up leftovers unbothered

As an eagles fan, I appreciate Siriani doing it now and ripping the band aid off early

I feel like being able to lip read a child screaming expletives, or flipping the bird is the holy grail they're after.

I can't wait to see how this translates to the W in a few years. I'm so excited to have another team that to ruin my mental health and put my therapist's kids through college.

I personally think the tush push should be shut down when the full O-Line isn't available.
