Welker kicked an extra point for NE and made it but didn't look as good as Suh's attempt. I'm pretty sure Schwartz put Suh out there not to be funny, but it was his best chance to make an extra point.

I said it was an obvious second guess. I don't remember what the score/scenario was when Welker made his kick.
I just can't believe that the defensive tackle is a better/#1 back up option to kick field goals over the punter.

If it was the Eagles in the situation and Akers was out..

I'd sure as heck want Vick / McCoy / Jackson / Maclin going for 2 instead of Trent Cole kicking an extra point.

I say again, would you rather have a guy who's never handled a snap before taking the kick, or have a guy who's kicked a field goal at some point in his life trying a PAT? I think Schwartz ended up making the right decision if he were going to go for the PAT, but perhaps going for two might have been the better overall choice. I still think the likelihood of Suh making that PAT is higher than the Lions converting for two points.

No matter, the Lions could have been up 10, 11, 12, or 20, they'd have still figure out a way to gift wrap that game for the Jets yesterday. That's how we roll.

Lions have some awesome offensive talent.. I thing 2 points in the option.

Unless Suh practices this PAT during the week. If he was going in cold and doesnt even practice the kicks.. you have to go for 2.

Does anyone know if he practices kicking?
