Re: What's your defnition of 'conservative playcalling'?

I believe our playcalling has been too conservative overall. However my main problem with Drive 5 is the deep pass on 2nd down. If you want to be aggressive, fine, but when your offense is struggling, you are up by 8, there are 3 minutes left, and the DEF is playing well, either run or call a high percentage pass. Don't be "aggressive" just to say, "I was aggresive". Be smart, play the percentages, if the Skins run another 30 seconds or more off the clock or ARI burns timeouts the game is essentially over. This poor decision made the difference between sealing the victory without too much stress or getting fortunate Rackers missed wide by about a foot. Saunders or Gibbs (whoever's decision this one was) is getting paid too much to make this kind of strategic mistake IMO.
