Play Calling

If we had passed two more times and come up with incompletions or sacks and Hall had missed the FG by 4 yards, people would've been screaming at Gibbs for not running the ball and getting a few more yards. The 53-yarder was a tough, but makeable kick.

or you could say that we were averaging 7.5 yds per completion and a 7 or 8 yard completion on second and 14 would have led to a 3rd and 7 or 6 yds to go and while being somewhat difficult is a heck of a lot easier than 3rd and 14 with the SD front four teeing of and wanting Brunell blood. The 53 yd FG for Hall was tough but makeable for this guy a year ago, but a real stretch for him this year especially after the leg injury that kept him out for about half the season.

While I acknowledge your point RF, it still doesn't sway me from my stance that our playcalling was defeatist and non-agressive in the second half and I think that was as much the cause of our losing today as lack of execution.
