What are you talking about Bro??  No time left on the clock on the HM pass into the endzone.  Had Gronk caught it, the Pats win 23-21.

With all TD's scored in regulation must go for the point after, those are the rules and they would of kicked the pt or go for 2 to make the final score and game official.

This is true in regulation in the regular season, but I thought in the playoffs and SB this wasn't the case...Maybe I am wrong.  I know in the regular season they do it because one of the tie-brakers is points, but what does it matter in the post season??

It doesn't matter, and you may be right about not kicking it in the postseason, but all gamblers want a consistent rule to be followed, either kick or not.

It doesn't "matter" in the post season. However, other then the new overtime rule, the rules are the same from pre-season through the Super Bowl. So a try is supposed to be played, the scoring team can kick, go for 2 or even take a knee.

However, Buffalo refused to play a try after a game ending TD once and I don't recall the penalty from the league, if there was one. That game was against New England and the Patriots scored an uncontested 2.

There is no universal law that says New England couldn't have simply refused in this case if they scored. The Giants almost certainly would have bailed and the confetti probably would have started falling because the person at the controls most likely doesn't know the rules.

It sure would have been interesting.

the only way Giants would go  for that  extra point if they was up by 3 after the TD or up by 7 points or more.....wish they went for it!....lost my  block pool because of that!

Are you people serious..ofcourse this is the right answer. If you don't know this, you should NOT be betting on football.

And to the guy who said it would run more time off the clock, really?

The gameclock does not run on extra points / 2 pt conversions. SMH

Heres a simple answer.

If the Giants kick the extra point there, they do up 5...If the Pats score, they would be up 1 point (before the 2pt conversion.)

If the Giants go for two and make it, they are up 6...If the Pats score, the game is TIED (before the extra point.)

Not rocket science fellas.
