Going for the tie, switching momentum, then coming out at the half with the ball would have been huge. Mind you, I'm not defending the play that was called, I don't even know what it was, but going for it was not a bad thing. Harbaugh has Tucker, we have Mixon. He should have run it in.....

We already had momentum.  If anything, failing the conversion does more to stop your momentum than suvceeding builds it.

As I said before, we haven't made a 2 point conversion since '15.  Part of your job as a HC is playing to your strengths and masking your weaknesses. Going for 2 when we didn't need to was blatantly playing to our weaknesses.  If we were better at it, the call would have made more sense, but we suck at it and were down 4 starters.

You have to run your best play on the first attempt.  When you get stoned that early in the game, it becomes likely you'll have to go for it again, and they already stuffed your best play.  You put yourself in a bad situation.
