Postgame thoughts

[djdunick]

The summary The Post had on the front page said it all. 5 trips inside the 20 and onlly 9 points, although the last trip inside the 20 we ran out the clock. This is terrible. I don't think even Gibbs thinks the offense is that good. On the last field goal it was fourth and goal from inside the 1 and he still chose a field goal over a potential touchdown. It's scary to me that this is a supposed 're-tooled' offense. On the plus side there were less penalties and we did dominate time of possesion. If this offense doesn't ignite and score points soon then we're looking at 6-10 again.

I understand your concern about him kicking the field goal, but do you think we would have won if we hadn't? He was planning on letting the D win the game for us.

Hey, Walt.

I would like to believe that if the field goal didn't give us the lead, we would have played that 4th and goal differently. It's better to be up two than down one, regardless of your opponent's field position - especially given the way our defense played.
