That's how things go, you're not going to make the right call 100% of the time. You win some, you lose some. If it works it's a genius call, if it fails then it's a disaster.
I'd guarantee you that ALOT of calls/decisions are made before the game. That 3rd and 1 call was obviously a part of the 3rd down package of the game plan. That's why teams game plan and scheme. I'm sure that defensively, the Giants KNEW that we have run 100% of the time on 3rd and 1.

True, but sometimes, especially back when Gibbs was first coaching, teams knew what was coming, and their goal was to stop it. You'd think that Brunell could have come out of the huddle with a t-shirt on saying, "We're running it up the middle." and the Giants wouldn't have been able to stop it.
