2 minutes left and 3 timeouts.. that's more than enough time to
orchestrate a complete drive, that doesn't mean throwing it every down..

You wouldnt be saying anything if those passes were completed.

Yes, I would. The reason our first half was so effective was because we had a balanced attack: run, run, run, run, deep pass. There is a reason that works, and that's why Gibbs is such a good coach. It seemed like Gibbs coached the first quarter and then gave the reigns over to Al and said, "Here, see what you can do." The cute stuff isn't for us. Atlanta saw right through our passing schemes and just all out rushed Campbell. We know what we are good at, why move away from it?

Why in the hell do you send Swish out there with an 11 pt. lead to try a freaking 50 yarder as his very first kick? For God's sake, punt the freakin ball! Gibbs gives them a short field, and they go down for a TD, bad bad coaching decision.

falcons, rams, vikes, and packers all losing. Decent sunday so far.

Dude you werent complaining when we were up 14-0. We were fine doing what we did before. And btw look at the run to pass ratio, we are still running ALOT more than passing.

I wasn't complaining when we were up because that was when we were doing what we are good at! Our last few drives were cute with little running and pass-happy. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying that when you have 2 minutes and 3 timeouts, along with a 4 point lead, you don't need to act like it's a 4th quarter game winning drive. Stay with the run!

i think that suisham kicked the first few games for dallas. the point of bringing him in was to be able to make the longer (50 isnt TOOO long) kicks.

skins need to get back into pounding atl's d with the run!

holla.

Dude we were passing the second drive too when we scored, and we had tosses to the outside. That isnt Gibbs football, that is clearly Saunders, and it worked fine. I swear I am soo sick of people who bitch about Saunders, and then when Gibbs run game isnt going, people get mad at Gibbs for being too conservative.

I likey give me some more.

Did you even watch that second drive? That was all run with a 40 yard bomb. Don't even try and tell me that isn't Gibbs.
