Another poor play calling game by Gibbs

[724Skinsfan]

Are there still members of this board that still haven't realized that Saunders calls the plays? It's been 14 weeks and 13 games and yet we still endure "Gibbs play-calling sucks" threads.

Going for the FG was a decent move after the fact we didn't try to punch it up the gut with Duckett/Sellers. Kicking the FG and then relying on our D to give us another chance made sense to me given the fact that the Eagles had, what, 54 yards offense in the second half. JC moved the ball very well, especially in the second half. Hindsight makes it look like a bad decision. To me, though the bad decision started and ended with not running it straight forward on 1st/2nd/3rd and goal.

I agree entirely with the quoted post. (I think that the 3 runs strategy would have been the Gibbs call.)

I am sure that Saunders calls all the offensive plays, but something caught my eye.
We had the offense on the field, and there was a shot of Gibbs indicating that he wanted to see Saunders, and Saunders went to Gibbs as though he was shot out of a cannon. Did anyone else notice that? Is it possible that Gibbs is now telling Saunders the types of plays he wants to see for certain situations in a game?
