i'd say take the kick.

Whoo Hoo!

I'm not cheering though

[Fred's Slacks]

I am never a fan of going for 2 unless you think there is time for only one more posession or you have alot of ground to make up. Take the 1 with the way our D is playing.

[packinpatland]

The way AJ ran the ball after the INT, maybe he should go in as a fullback!

I agree. But I had stroke of brilliant inuition there that should have been honored.

That was some great work by Jennings to get in there. Looked like 4 or 5 defenders were in the area to stop him.

I agree. KC hasn't shown an ability to put together a sustained drive. Force them to score a TD to take the lead.

Who was it that said "Greg "Touchdown Machine" Jennings?"

I had doubts about Jennings in preseason. But I'm a man about this; Jennings is a stud. GJ looks effortless.

Didn't like the way he held the ball out there tho.

Here's the reason you don't go for 2 here:

A PAT is a higher percentage play than a 2-pt conversion by a lot.

If you go for 1 and make it, a field goal by the Packers makes it a 2 score game (9 point lead.)

If you go for 2 and miss it, even an additional field goal by the Packers leaves it a 1 score game (8 point lead).

Since the Packers will get the ball back in this game probably a couple more times, a 2-point conversion here is foolhardy.

He looked like he wanted to fall on the ball at first. Then worked up his nerve to get some yardage. I like the "protect the ball first" mentality from defensive meatheads.

Excellent points Lurker.
