Re: Gibbs called the final 4 plays..
No he simply reiterated the plays Saunders called. It says so in the article. But I agree about our two minute offense.

Re: Gibbs called the final 4 plays..
We called plenty of pass plays....if you watched campbell closely, he was checking down every time...even though moss is uncoverable deep when he is given time. Maybe Campbell himself needs to let loose and have more confidence in himself...and get that killer instinct..he definitley proved that he has the tools.
It's not panic time yet....but the play calling at the end of the game was high school level. Campbell shouldbe been ready to run a QB sneak right after the completion to randle El....instead we SPIKED the ball....gave time for the giants to set...and ran to where they knew we were running twice with our backup tailback.

Re: Gibbs called the final 4 plays..
Poor Execution, Poor Coaching. Plain and simple. Gibbs does need to let Al call the plays though. I'm really suprised we didn't see a QB sneak there, but we are just the guys/girls that pay thier salaries.....what do we matter?

Re: Gibbs called the final 4 plays..
Saunders called the plays--this report is off.
And listen to Gibbs in his presser on this today. He said they got what they wanted, did what they wanted, but failed to execute. There was no confusion on the sideline, no panic. They got to the two with no TOs and had three plays to score. They tried a roll out pass to Sellers, and two runs over the left side where they liked the matchup (and where they scored in the first half). It's tough to sneak or to give the ball straight to Sellers without a lead block because the gints are in goal-line D stacking the line. And Sellers is a good lead blocker. Maybe when Campbell is a bit farther along, he gets more control there and can audible to something or call his own number or whatnot. But right now those were good plays, IMO. They just didn't execute. Could we have run other things there? Of course. And if those had not worked, we'd be bitching about that. I would have liked a rollout on 4th down, but I completely understand why they didn't. We were on the friggin TWO. I do think they need to reevaluate the "Portis and Betts are interchangeable" thing, but that's the way they've practiced it and played it so far. From what Gibbs says, it's really Byner that has the big say there. Interesting. No doubt they'll be thinking about all this in the weeks to come. What they want is a Holmes/Johnson thing like Saunders had in KC, but I think CP is really better. Saunders has always loved Betts (and he did gain over 1000 last season), but CP is more clutch, IMO.

Re: Gibbs called the final 4 plays..
How about "Gibbs to Betts: I have a better idea. Why don't you trip short of the goal line? Make the Giants feel good about themselves? Think you can do that?"
or "Please Don't Take a Turn to Negative Town"

Re: Gibbs called the final 4 plays..
I agree with that statement about close games. I guess since gibbs is more than likely not going to finish here, then I would say that he is going to be conservative in order to see if he gets a couple of lucky breaks that can get us some victories, but it is not a way I would like to see us play.

Re: Gibbs called the final 4 plays..
my beef isn't with the playcalling during the last set of goalline downs - its with the playcalling in the 3rd quarter and early 4th quarter. To go 5 consecutive 3 and outs is inexcusable.

Re: Gibbs called the final 4 plays..
We should never have spiked the ball on first down. Also, we really rushed the 4th down play. There was plenty of time to calm down, let everyone take a few seconds to focus on the play and their assignment, then execute. Clock management was poor.
And I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Gibbs called those last three plays. Too many cooks in the kitchen...
