I didn't hate the decision. We've been blasting him all year for not being aggressive.

I've been killing Gibbs all year for being conservative.. I like the fact he went for it, although I wasn't wild about the call.. I'd have rather seen a bootleg there, Portis diving into the line was a little too predictable..

That being said, those who are saying that play cost us the game are silly. That was in the 3rd quarter, we had 2 more drives into the red zone after that and didn't convert points..

If we kick the FG on that play, then those "2 more drives into the red zone" could have been FGs too. That would have tied the game. Anybody who thinks that play was insignificant isn't thinking clearly.
