I'm not saying we did not run on them all game because we did, I am saying that still mix it up even if we ran the ball all game I can bet we never did that same play 3 times in a row. I don't question Gibbs, just my opinion that we handled that drive different than we did all other drives. Predictable does not get you wins in today's NFL, so please how many times have we compared the 80's and ninties game to today's personnel and game. You can't and I think we learned that last year when we ran the 80's and ninties offense last year and had the lowest production in almost all the NFL. So I don't care if it worked for the Hogs it has not worked for us in 2005 in quite a few games. I would not have questioned the call because 3rd and inches is sometimes hard to get in that situation let alone third and two. We got 6yards then 2 yards then 0 maybe 1 yard on third. We have been successful on a lot of our third down conversions this year I would be curious how many were pass and how many were run. It is all hindsight and would be different if we won, but we did not so it leaves it open for discussion and opinion correct. If the run was so solid I can recall our two point conversion was a pass, I can recall another short third down conversion pass to Cooley, another third down for a touchdown to Sellers a pass. Everyone is hung up on that 25 seconds we ran off the clock and if we threw a int.
