First off, just because you go for 2 doesn't mean you automatically get them.

Secondly, it's like someone in business chasing a sunk cost. 

Finally, the Titans get the ball to start the second half, if they score a FG who many points are we now down by? If we failed the 2 point conversion how many points would we be down by and then what we would be forced to try to do again if we got a TD.

It is chasing points and the vast majority understand the concept. I get folks want to second guess Marvin, but that was not a situation, in which, he should have been second-guessed.  

Kicking the PAT is not automatic either, which is why we were in that situation.  We need the additional point at some point, regardless of when and how we get it.
