I will say two things... (a) Ka'imi Fairbairn already missed an XP earlier in THIS game. It's not automatic. And (b), Romeo is showing that he wants to take chances, going for 2, going on 4th down, etc. He's on the road against an undefeated division opponent, and he wants to step on their throats.

So, no, I didn't agree with the decision, but I admire his guts to make it.

Yep. He's a 100 year old replacement coach with no chance at the job long term, and he's coaching a lost season for a broken team. If any situation ever called out for not playing it safe, it's this one. So stupid yes. But still ok.

My real problem with Romeo isn't his 2 point tries but his pathetic defense. I'm glad these idiots decided Earl Thomas wasn't good enough to make the roster a few weeks back. Or Eric Reid. Instead we pay Cunningham a bundle to get caught in the wash while the Safeties look allergic to covering or tackling a back.
