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.
STAT OF THE NIGHT
The Seahawks were the first team to enter a Super Bowl with no players with previous Super Bowl experience since the 1990 Bills.

GAME OF THE WEEK: Week 5, 2014
Super Bowl XLVIII: Broncos Seahawks, 6:25 ET (6:25 ET, Fox): Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Pam Oliver, and Erin Andrews
I would have leaned Seahawks if the weather had been forecast worse, but at this point, I think this is a season of destiny for the Broncos and Manning. As I mentioned in my AFC Championship prediction, Peyton Manning understands where he stands in the history of the sport and will not let the moment escape him. I believe that even if Richard Sherman covers Demaryius Thomas, Peyton Manning can throw to Julius Thomas, Wes Welker, and Eric Decker. Broncos 21, Seahawks 17

9:55 Peyton's speech is too forced.
9:54 #mvpmann
9:49 Oh my gosh, did Colin Kaepernick just say, "This is such a waste of my time"?
9:48 Play of the Year: Calvin catching between 3 Bengals!
9:47 Play #2: Bernard's sick run
9:41 I can't believe Roger Goodell just told Charles Tillman to sit down.

8:46 Play #4: What a farewell to Candlestick Park!
8:45 WHAT
8:43 Comeback Player: What a joke if Philip Rivers wins; the Chargers had no right to beat the Chiefs in Week 17.

8:33 Great man. Finished his degree in the SEC.
8:31 Walter Peyton Man of the Year Nominee 1: Thomas Davis, CAR LB. Established foundation for mentoring program for youth.
8:29 NFL.com Fantasy Player: Jamaal Charles. Too bad he got knocked out on the first possession of the playoff game. In real football.

8:23 Play #5: Epic Hail Mary. Too bad the Bengals lost that game in overtime.

8:19 Defensive Rookie: It has to be Honey Badger.

8:00 Yes, I am live-blogging a pre-taped show. I don't know why the NFL doesn't air it live, but I have avoided all spoilers.
