Our offense CANNOT score!!!

Matty, you expect them to throw the ball? Im sure we were all over those short routes that their receivers were running all day. I agree with Offiss, it wasn't a bad call. They were inbetween a rock and a hard place. They had to try to get two yards and we probably had our guys pretty close to the line. Really if Arrington would have not punked out when Taylor started coming he might have picked it up. Taylor doesnt get a clean shot on him, Arrington cowers away isntead of fighting for it, but that's fine -- Im glad they didn't get it!

Sure why wouldn't they throw? They did in just about every other short yardage situation.

2 yards is equivalent to 5 yards when your running game is as bad as theirs.

How many times this year have people here ripped on our playcalling for throwing on short yardage? Yet Denny Green made a "good call"??

I think you have it backwards Matty, some of us inc. myself have been yelling to throw the ball on short yardage plays late in the game because we CAN'T run it when it counts, that has been at least my problem with Gibbs he's afraid to throw it late in the game when teams are really stacking the box.

What would you consider our weekest spot on the field? I believe it's our right side, teams game plan to attack us there [see the Giant game] I think it was a lowsey call to give the ball to Arrington, but that play has killed us quite a few times this year, Taylor may be the only saftey in the league who can close that quickly to stop it, and yes Daseal was right Arrington punked out when he saw Taylor coming at him he basically took a knee, Shipp may or may not have made the first but he would have made a much bigger effort, maybe if they throw it they get it who knows, but our CB's were jumping those little hitches they were running and dropping their recivers either at or behind the line of scrimmage by that point in the game.
