Lloyd: So, uh coach think I could get in there with Moss and ARE hurt?

Gibbs: No.

I DO NOT like the playcalling with 1:20 left before halftime.
We'd been moving the ball well, Campbell was on target, Detroit wasn't stopping us in the passing game, and Gibbs sits on it with plenty of time left.

Outrageous.

Do you think the Cowboys, Colts or Patriots would be comfortable with a 14 point lead with that much time still available? HELL NO. They'd be striking down the field trying to get another score.

That's exactly the kind of complacency that separates the winners from the losers.

Keep in mind a couple of things. First, we were keeping it on the ground to force Detroit to use up all of their timeouts...that's smart. Secondly, ARE went out of the game with the pulled groin. So, who are we going to be throwing it to?

I agree that it would have been nice for us continue our attack, but it's a stretch to say it was outrageous. There are a lot of fine coaches who would have done the same thing.

And, even if one were to say they were being conservative, you also have to say they weren't being so conservative in going for it on 4th down from the 37 yard line.

I'm OK with them running out the clock in that case. They didn't want to let the Lions back in the game before the half.

Gary Clark inducted into the ring of fame...bout time. He was an amazing WR for us.

How would you be letting the Lions back in the game by trying to be aggressive and get another score?

14 points weren't enough two weeks ago.

htownskinfan · 10-07-2007, 02:22 PM

on that replay of the throw to ARE you can see him pull up at the end because of his hamstring,and it seems like hamstrings take forever to heal

GTripp0012 · 10-07-2007, 02:22 PM

Now, who can tell us why Detroit should not have used their timeouts there?

Bozzy · 10-07-2007, 02:22 PM

we have some difficulty recovering fumbles...

BleedBurgundy · 10-07-2007, 02:24 PM

We're going to need another bye week to get healthy.

Paintrain · 10-07-2007, 02:24 PM

Let's come out of the locker room aggresively, keep attacking the middle of the field and get at least 2 more TD. NO FG!!

Big Boss · 10-07-2007, 02:24 PM

Man we are just dominating, We've held detroit to under 80 yards in the half!
