Great piece Nate, as an Eagles fans, I heard a few people grumbling about the 2 point conversion decision and it surprised me. Could not articulate as well as you why it is correct.
As a Bears fan, I loved getting the info early on the failed 2 point try so I could relax the last 3 minutes of the game! I do wonder if my generation of sports fan (I'm 61) will be the last to bitch about analytics. As we know, there are many hidebound traditions in sports that don't make sense. Like bunting with runners on first and second with nobody out...ugh.
Nate, always love when you test the waters outside the chess world a bit, more sports posts please! 'Chess style' practical decision making applied to the outside of chess world, is always fun, and I feel like chess players do a much better job of applying it the outside world than non chess players, despite media's attempts :)

lol I think you might be the only one, but I’ll keep doing it! American football is especially enthralling for my European readers.
I always knew I wasn't normal, but I would absolutely jump at the chance to get crushed by a master in a real-life simul.
