They just got it.

But I could see it either way. Personally, think I'd take 17-13 and go with it.

Since they are playing for zilch at this point, I don't see any reason why not.

Thx for the opinion, Hoops.

I generally don't buy the "nothing to lose" thinking. Yeah, nothing to lose, except the game.

They got it, but I'm not convinced it was the % play.

Packers have since given up another TD. What a crap division. Bears would be winning this division, if not for Kordell Stewart having to adjust to a new offense.

I thought it was a little gutsy too. but hey it paid off, but you know, if they didn't make it, that it would come back to haunt them.

Chucky- I don't see much difference from 3-11 or 4-10. Also gives the offense and team a confidence boost...even if they don't make it I'm sure players like to see their coach give them the greenlight in that situation.

I hear you, Hoops. At 17-12, I just figured that Green Bay was not done scoring. If you boot the xtra pt, you go to 17-13. If Green Bay kicks a FG, you're still down only 7 pts.

I do subscribe to the thinking that you don't go for 2 until you have to.
