Gibbs called the final 4 plays...(No he didn't)

[BleedBurgundy]

I have to disagree with some of you when you say that you don't like the 80's Pound the Rock mentality. Personally, I love to see us run and then play action pass. The problem is that we don't have the line right now to wear anyone down. It's one thing when everyone knows you're going to run, it's another all together when everyone knows you're running LEFT. I don't think there's anything wrong with Gibbs' philosophy. Is it extremely conservative? Maybe at times but you know that in the midst of all that pounding that we're going to take 4 or 5 shots down the field. The hallmark of Gibbs coached teams has always been that they're only going to run a small amount of plays from varied formations with excellent execution. Right now, it's that last part that's giving us problems. I think that the bye will give the staff time to adjust the strategy to better suit the injuries on the o line. I'd be surprised if we didn't see JC on more roll outs and three step drops to get the ball out faster and to take some pressure off of our o line.

they rush the play calling bc they have been so poor in the past with their 2 min offense...delays, miscommunication, etc. i just don't understand why we seem to struggle more than everyone else in the 2 min drill. I understand JC is young, but really...he's done this before...

Too many cooks in the kitchen.

If Betts doesn't trip, he's got a good chance of scoring. I don't get the second guessing here.There's a thousand different things we could have done and if you go by the percentages, this was a safe, high percentage play. It just didn't work out. Sometimes that happens. We'll live.

There's a good YouTube video showing the play, he had a pretty clear hole to the endzone.

I'd have to search for the video, no time right now

I've watched the play a few times since Sunday and it looks like Betts would have gotten in if he didn't trip. Oh well, nothing we can do about it now obviously.

Let me understand this: if the Skins open things up with Jason Campbell in the 3rd quarter and our young QB makes a huge mistake to give the Giants a TD and bring them back into a game that was all but dead, nobody here was going to bury the coaches for being that stupid right?

No, I don't think we'd bury the coaches, we'd chaulk it up to growing pains from a young QB.
