Did Gibbs take over play calling in the second half?

Then if Gibbs told Saunders what type of offense scheme to call in the second half, then why have Saunders?

Well we are paying him all this money, we might as well use him.

I was just watching the replay of Cooley's long TD. It looked like a re-enactment of 70 Chip once he makes the catch. If we could get a ground level photo it would be ever so cool.

Also, as he made his victory lap around the corner of the endzone it looked like some of the cheerleaders turned their backs on him. Those broads need to remember that it takes two to tango and let bygones be bygones.

More: WRC TV 4 here in Washington reported that on the long pass to Cooley, Campbell's headset malfunctioned and Campbell called that play himself. That's big nuts by him considering it was 3rd and 8 and an absolutely critical play in the game.

I think Gibbs didn't call the plays, i just believe he told Saunders how he wanted it done and that's the way Saunders drew it up.

This is exactly what happened. On Triple X radio they had a correspondent ask that same question. Al called the plays all game, but they all speculate that Gibbs told Saunders what kinda plays he wanted this game.

I liked the fact that they threw on 3rd down there at the end. It was poorly executed but it sends a great message about their confidence in Campbell. It says "we intend to win".

I also liked Duckett running the stretch play. Beautiful.

I liked the aggressiveness of passing there but I really thought they should have ran and forced them into taking another TO.

Yeah, its a conundrum. Especially after the penalty set them back further. I think Gibbs was determined to not run it three times and kick. Partly so he doesn't have to answer that question if they lose and partly because of what I said before: It shows they have confidence in Jason. It was almost willful or obtuse that they called pass after the penalty. How many times have they converted from that distance? That's why I think it was affectation on Gibbs' part. He was making a statement. I don't think there is any way Campbell cuts loose with it unless a defender falls and he has someone wide, wide open. He did the smart thing throwing it to the ground.

Also it looked like they were setting up screen which ends up being like a run anyway, if it comes off.

I think they were setting up the screen as well. You can see the linemen pulling, but JC was under pressure, and it wasnt a great throw. Either way if we completed it everyone would say Saunders/Gibbs is a genius.

I mean look at the Thanksgiving game, when the Cowboys rolled Romo out and he threw it, when all they needed to do was run. If that was an incompletion everyone in Dallas would want Parcells head, but everyone thinks he is great.

Cooley was or is dating a Redskins Cheerleader and she got booted because they're not suppossed to do that. At the next home game the girls turned their backs when he was introduced. Cooley got hauled into Gibbs office over the whole thing. It was in the Post.

In looking at it again, one or two were facing the other way as he ran by. There may be something there, but it's mostly just me looking for an excuse to type "broad". It's one of my favorite expressions.

I was probably just as elated as the rest of you all when I heard we hired Saunders. However, when I heard Brunell say that "at my age" bringing his 700 page play book "stinks!" I started to wonder about this genisis we are embarking on. Forget about the playoffs....Saunders has screwed us. I do not see any mastery that he was supposed to bring here. Gibbs play calling was just as remarkable last year(playoffs) as it was when he won 3 SB's and at San Diego State too. I said when I saw Saunders calls the plays from upstairs that this is caca. You can not get the feel of your players unless you are on the sideline with them. I do not know what to suggest other than Gibbs and Saunders compare their play books and shrink it down to realistic size. I'm sure that Gibbs did not override Saunders in the middle of the game. However if Saunders brings nothing more to the table than what we've seen, let Gibbs call the plays.
