It's not assumed, nor is the possibility ignored

Again, have some faith in your quarterback. Using this logic you should never throw the ball on your own side of the field.

Campbell has a 121 qb rating.

We're just going to go in circles here it seems. Sometimes you attack in those situations. Sometimes you don't. With our top two receivers out deep in our own territory, we chose not to attack

Oddly enough, we find ourselves on the same side of the fence here. We did the right thing before half. There are times when conservative play calling is warrented. The skins were right.

For all you that don't know...I got a lot of flack for saying how conservative we were in the Giants game.

Fair enough. It just seems that Gibbs has been unnecessarily conservative in these situations. If Campbell had a shaky outing up to this point, I might agree, but he's been on target.

There was relatively little time on the clock, and we were deep in our zone with a 14 point lead...no need to play ultra aggressive all the time.

Curious as to how Saunders will do his playcalling now that we have no good WR options.

Has anyone even seen Lloyd on the field?
