You wouldnt be saying anything if those passes were completed.

Yes, I would. The reason our first half was so effective was because we had a balanced attack: run, run, run, run, deep pass. There is a reason that works, and that's why Gibbs is such a good coach. It seemed like Gibbs coached the first quarter and then gave the reigns over to Al and said, "Here, see what you can do." The cute stuff isn't for us. Atlanta saw right through our passing schemes and just all out rushed Campbell. We know what we are good at, why move away from it?

Dude you werent complaining when we were up 14-0. We were fine doing what we did before. And btw look at the run to pass ratio, we are still running ALOT more than passing.

I wasn't complaining when we were up because that was when we were doing what we are good at! Our last few drives were cute with little running and pass-happy. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying that when you have 2 minutes and 3 timeouts, along with a 4 point lead, you don't need to act like it's a 4th quarter game winning drive. Stay with the run!

Dude we were passing the second drive too when we scored, and we had tosses to the outside. That isnt Gibbs football, that is clearly Saunders, and it worked fine. I swear I am soo sick of people who bitch about Saunders, and then when Gibbs run game isnt going, people get mad at Gibbs for being too conservative.

Did you even watch that second drive? That was all run with a 40 yard bomb. Don't even try and tell me that isn't Gibbs.
