Commanders Post at The Warpath - Field Goal Rule???

[QUOTE=SKINSnCANES]I agree, it was a chicken shit call to have brunell just fall in the middle on first down. Why wouldnt you alteast run with the hb on first down and tell him to run up the middle. Then, after getting a penalty and forcing a rookie to make a 39 yd field goal...It shouldnt have come to that, we should have run on first and second down, and have portis just run in the middle both times, then kick on 3rd, giving you a free down to have the snapper throw it away if its a bad snap to retry on 4th.

Had he missed that field goal, Gibbs would have been reemed out. As you can tell by my threads following the game, I am still very unhappy with Gibbs coaching, yes, we are 3-0, and that is awesome. But we arent a playoff team yet and we are doing stupid things. Gibbs is afraid to coach if we have a lead. He doesnt try to pad a lead and make sure we dotn have a chance to lose in the last second, like we always do. The bears could have kicked a field goal and one, just a field goal. And we were never even in teh cowboys game, and we should have lost to seattle, he should have made that kick.

Im glad luck is on our side, we have needed it. I hope it stays with us long enough for gibbs to learn how to coach again. Yell at me now if you must, but sometimes you have to be a fan, and be realistic...[/QUOTE]The plan worked perfect thats should be enough said. To say Gibbs is a chicken he has already clucked his way to four SB's and how many playoffs. Gibbs is just a conservative play caller and he has always been, especially when he has a lead.
