Did Gibbs Make the Wrong Call?

I don't question Gibbs, just my opinion that we handled that drive different than we did all other drives. Predictable does not get you wins in today's NFL, so please how many times have we compared the 80's and ninties game to today's personnel and game. You can't and I think we learned that last year when we ran the 80's and ninties offense last year and had the lowest production in almost all the NFL. So I don't care if it worked for the Hogs it has not worked for us in 2005 in quite a few games. I would not have questioned the call because 3rd and inches is sometimes hard to get in that situation let alone third and two. We got 6yards then 2 yards then 0 maybe 1 yard on third. We have been successful on a lot of our third down conversions this year I would be curious how many were pass and how many were run. It is all hindsight and would be different if we won, but we did not so it leaves it open for discussion and opinion correct. If the run was so solid I can recall our two point conversion was a pass, I can recall another short third down conversion pass to Cooley, another third down for a touchdown to Sellers a pass. Everyone is hung up on that 25 seconds we ran off the clock and if we threw a int.

Wow ur furious ! I never said anything about 80's or 90's or the Hogs where did that come from? You dusted them off for no reason. Scoring 35pts I think the O is fine. Everyone's not just hung up on the 25 sec's everyone just knows that there were 5 or 6 reasons we lost this game.
Running the ball on third down was guaranteed to keep the clock moving, and a high percentage to get the first down considering how were running the ball. A pass could be incomplete stopping the clock, picked off, or Brunell could get sacked and loose yardage. Oline had to chance to step up and win the game and they did not. That still left our Def with a good chance to stop them.
