As far as the other night, I honestly don't see where that's a go for 2 situation even if it was a regular season game.

Yeah, my opinion is that if a head coach needs to go to a chart to make a decision on a 2 pt conversion, he's likely struggling to handle the game management aspect of football from a much wider perspective.
It's free to have the chart on the sideline, but I believe it is rarely practical to use it as the be-all-end-all. If you're down 16 with five minutes to go, and you score a touchdown, the chart says to go for two. If you don't understand the logic behind why the chart says this, I really don't want you coaching my team.
