Gibbs called the final 4 plays...(No he didn't)

that will come with time

Too many cooks in the kitchen.

I agree but it seems like everyone is blamming the play calling and the coaches when it may have been that JC just did not make the playes he needed to. I'm not talking about WR's just a little open I can remember seeing guys with 7 to 10 yards of seperation from any Giants players. If it only happened a couple of times that would be one thing but I saw this play after play.

If Gibbs wanted to run the ball in, he should've used Sellers at least. Sellers is more of a short yardage back than Betts will ever be.

Last week, I was happy to see they had finally learned how to use Sellers. This week, I was happy to see that they had forgotten how to use Sellers.

Gibbs not using Sellers for short yardage is one of the unsolved mysteries. Gibbs says its because he needs Sellers as a lead blocker. I say nonsense. Since when do 285 pound FB's need lead blockers on the goal line?

If Betts doesn't trip, he's got a good chance of scoring. I don't get the second guessing here.There's a thousand different things we could have done and if you go by the percentages, this was a safe, high percentage play. It just didn't work out. Sometimes that happens. We'll live.

There's a good YouTube video showing the play, he had a pretty clear hole to the endzone.

I'd have to search for the video, no time right now

I've watched the play a few times since Sunday and it looks like Betts would have gotten in if he didn't trip. Oh well, nothing we can do about it now obviously.

Let me understand this: if the Skins open things up with Jason Campbell in the 3rd quarter and our young QB makes a huge mistake to give the Giants a TD and bring them back into a game that was all but dead, nobody here was going to bury the coaches for being that stupid right?

No, I don't think we'd bury the coaches, we'd chaulk it up to growing pains from a young QB.
