They get blocked, they drop the snap, remember when Romo dropped that snap a few years back!" "You always take the points there - 7 is more than 3!!!!" Meanwhile , it's either you get stuffed on your attempts (or fumble) and then kick that same FG, or you score and give them a chance to win with time left instead of no time.
It's like a giant circle where when you beat it with logic, it just resets.
"Do you really think the odds of missing what's basically an extra point are higher than the Packers coming back with a minute left?"
"It doesn't matter! 7 is more than 3"
Ask him then why Pitt didn't go for 2 since 8 is more than 7 especially since XPs aren't a sure thing! They get blocked, they drop the snap, remember when Romo dropped that snap a few years back

Except it wasn't just "1st and goal"; it was 1st and goal in the 1 foot line.
