Precisely because it IS the playoffs I would think you would make sure to make the "wisest" decision.
I'm not sure he would have gone for the FG with Greg the Leg either. If he makes it your up by two and now the Lions have the ball and time to get into position for a FG themselves with a respected kicker.
I dunno-the more I look at this the more I think that when its all said and done and without the emotions coming in-he may have made the right decision if in fact he even considered all the possibilities like we do here. Especially me.
Sometimes "right" is "wrong"
