What if they went for the pass and it was intercepted or Brunell got sacked and fumbled? That deep in your own territory, that late in the game, you have to play it safe. No matter how boring it is.

To bad gruden didn't play it safe, oh yea he won though.
Nonesense! Playing it safe is what cost us the game, playing it safe is only another word for playing scared, giving the ball back to tampa was the most unsafe call we could have made, what if we open up the offense like we did the entire game and make a first down? Maybe we win? Winners are not afraid to play to win, losers play not to lose.
With that kind of thinking we might as well take a knee in overtime.
I hope this finally wakes Gibbs up to the realazation that Portis is not a power back, and our line can't power run.
