Why the NFL should not eliminate the PAT, Part Two

(Part One)

It's possible to miss.

Even though the conversion rate is high, the fact is that when a team does miss, the team earns one point fewer, and this can decide a game, or future strategy for the rest of the same game. For example, if a team is down 14-6 instead of 14-7, this forces them to have to make a decision about whether to go for one or two on the next touchdown, especially when they've already missed one, and they don't know whether to trust their kicker on the next extra point.
