Re: 2 Qualms with the loss

I disagreed with the decision to kick a FG, but it certainly wasn't unreasonable. Suisham was on a roll prior to that missed FG attempt, we were leading the Cowboys by a TD, it was early in the game, Dallas had been stuffing the run, and the attempt was under 50 yards.

Re: 2 Qualms with the loss

Regarding Suisham, you have to bear in mind that Gibbs gets to watch him kick in warmups and that is perhaps a factor in that decision. He may have been drilling 50 yarders with ease for all we know.

Also, if you go for it and don't make it, the psychological blow to your offensive group is much greater than either not going for it or missing the kick. Something like that could have set the crowd off and gotten Dallas started a lot faster than what they did.
