Gibbs was able to go deeper into the play book and show us some formations that some here had questioned why we didn't use (more than two wide receiver formations.)

Tell me again why we didn't use them earlier? As I said in another thread go 4 WRs, spread out the D and do some run and pass plays out of that. It worked well. That's just saying playcalling changed, much for the better. I enjoyed it.
Playcalling has CHANGED. The plays have changed slightly, but more importantly the order they were called in. Some of the games I watched the calls were uninspired. Watching us run it up the middle three times to no avail is painfull. Gibbs had me guessing what he was doing with the ball. I couldn't have asked for better play-calling than we had last week. I loved seeing a balance, I loved seeing Portis run like he's built to, I loved to see virtually mistake free football. We played a great game, and like matty I was extremely pleased in what I was seeing.
That being said, I hope this can stay constant. I've seen us zone block, play great, then abandon it. I saw a lot more motion and personel groupings than I normally did, and I would like to see Jacobs get a real shot this week, I think he can really bring the speed we're lacking with Coles injury.
That being said, mistakes were cut down tremendously. WRs made the catches, Cooley played amazing, and the O line really set up some nasty blocks. It was a great game, but I think it's silly to say play-calling hasn't changed at all. It has, and I feel that made about 50% of the difference along with the players dedication to this season no matter where they are. It speaks volumes about Gibbs that these notorious quitters are still right behind him. I've never questioned Gibbs as a leader of men, just a playcaller.
