I was "watching" from NFL.com being an out of state Redskin fan.......

but why oh why did Gibbs with a little over 2 minutes to go and Redskins driving hand Betts the ball for 3 consecutive times with little gain and then punted. And after the interception were down at the Bears 17 and Brunell took a kneel......why not give Hall a FG try at least....??????

It was awesome to celebrate my b-day today with a Skins win, which u wouldn't think is what happened if u read a lot of posts today. Skins d-line definitely needs to create more pressure and unless fully cleared to play, I think Gibbs sticks with Brunnel cuz Ramsey took a seriously wicked shot that could have lingering effects for a week or so. I'm definitely excited by the big plays of Moss and seeing Portis break a couple of nice runs. And we could easily make some complaints about the officiating today, but I think the team should be pretty confident in their chances next week, especially on the defensive side and with the offense knowing that they can move the ball against a pretty good defense, but they need to develop that killer instinct when they close upon the redzone.

Because this is the NFL not Madden. Why kick a FG... just to rub it in?

As for running the ball with 2 min left, you do that to make the Bears burn their timeouts.

But the bears had plenty of time to go down the field and kick a field goal to win 10 to 9.................... So Id rather see us make plays and continue to get first downs to burn the clock............

As for the fieldgoal........hey dont forget about the gamblers in Vegas

I think they only had like 1 td left and I disagree with that play call, that would have been the perfect oportunity for a playaction that stretched the field and got the 1st

HHhhmmmm, you can take a knee and not have to give the ball back to the Bears, or you could kick a field goal, give the ball back to the Bears and risk the Bears running it all the way back for a TD. Seemed like the right call to me.
