try for the 2pt PAT. You know you don't have the strongest O line and best execution but you go for 2? So if they take 1 then the field goal issue at the end would have been for a win and not just overtime. According to statmuse they've gone for it 9 times and made it 3 times. Not a great percentage of success and especially to try against a team like Detroit. They went for it against the Packers and failed so that blocked field goal wouldn't have mattered as bad because they would have been tied and then had overtime. Eberflus and the fans were bellyaching about the refs "missing the call" and saying the Packers should have been called for a penalty for assistance but they said not a peep about a missed face mask call on an O lineman just a little before on that drive. Replay showed it clear as day. If that one had been called they wouldn't have even gotten to field goal range. Bottom line is the Bears bellyaching is nonsense and they wouldn't be in those situations if they had better management choosing better coaches. But you can't fire the family as Dallas knows all too well.
