Gibbs' decision results in win

you dont win 3 super bowls by not knowing how to coach. great job by everyone today

that baldinger fag or whatever his name is was calling gibbs out for that...i definitely agreed with the call. carney is a good kicker, and if we didnt get it, which i dont think we would have honestly, the saints would have been able to tie the game up pretty easily from the position they were in

I honestly wanted to reach through the TV screen and choke Baldinger. It was an easy call for Gibbs to make. No way do you go for it in that situation.

If Brees completes that pass in the end zone, then most skins fans would've said Gibbs should've went for it. Gibbs would've went for it (as he stated in his presser) if it had been just a little closer...after all, we didn't have to go for the TD, we could've picked up the 1st down first. The point is, I don't really believe Gibbs' decision to kick the field goal had anything to do with our win today as much as it was our defense who came up with the big stop at the end of the game.

gibbs knew the defense had been awesome today and trusted them to not let new orleans drive the field and score a touchdown

What you fail to comprehend though is that if we fail this 4th down NO marches down the field well within field goal range and instead of going for it on 4th down they kick a field goal and send the game into over time which most likely would have been decided by the flip of a coin.

I wanted Gibbs to go for it.

We had a ton of momentum, and I thought we should seal the deal.

Hindsight is 20-20... so it looks like a great decision now, which it obviously was. Props to Gibbs and the Redskins on what will probably be the trophy win for the season.

There's been a lot of negative threads about Gibbs' situational decision making this year, but I want to take a moment to give the 3 time SB Champion coach some love for making the decision to kick the FG down on the two yard line. It was a big decision and he certainly was entertaining the thought of going for it on fourth with a chance to end the game right there.

If we were to get stopped, I don't think the Saints would have had any problem getting in FG range. We would be in OT right now.

Instead, we get a week to savor an upset victory over the Saints, so lets enjoy it!

Gibbs does not own a crystal ball the way we do AFTER a play has been run, I think he makes the best decision that he thinks is right and goes with it.

I may not like all he calls he makes but I do support him, what is, is. No amount of bitching will change who he is or how he calls a game win or lose.

i think people justed wanted to see gibbs go for the win right there. we were in the redzone late in the game again and didnt come out with a TD. last week v.s. the eagles we kicked the FG to make it a 2 point lead for the eagles when he probably should have gone for it. its a spur of a moment thing. as fans we want to see gibbs for win right there and put it away we were 4-9 and not going to the playoffs. now if were 9-4 they would have probably agreed with the decision to kick the FG and make the saints get a TD to win.

zzzzzzzz. who cares? we are 5-9. let's not hail gibbs a genius for kicking a FG with over 4 minutes left against a potent NO offense (giving them plenty of time to score a TD)...

zzzzzzzzzzzz

Nah, the trophy win of the season is going to be on Dec 30th when the skins take the Giants out and end their slim hopes of a wildcard birth!
