I'm tempted to re-post the 2nd quarter drives

Mostly out of spite at this point. I’m way closer to furious than I realized I even could be right now.

The last two 2-point conversions they've called

True.

Technically, making the 2 would have brought the score to within 2 scores (with 2 more 2-point conversions).

So yeah, twice nothing is still nothing.

Any chance of Philip making things easier and resigning next week?

no

I think he’d have to be caught in the bathroom with an intern to resign.
