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.

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.
