They only rushed the four D-linemen, the linebackers stayed home in the middle of the field, which doomed that play from the start. Portis was tackled at the 3 yardline - to me that's not even coming close to a clinching TD.

That call probably works less than 25 percent of the time at that down and distance. I like our chances much more letting Campbell make a play, especially given his stellar play in the red zone.
Yep. You go with what works and what had been working. Campbell was on target yesterday, then they tried to get cute and fake everybody out on a draw play.

I'd be willing to bet that Gibbs was ready to settle for three to begin with, and put it on the backs of the defense, who'd been scorched all day by Westbrook. It's the same strategy we've seen all year.

Are we honestly going to assume that the defense is going to be lights out and close the victory every single time? Why not let the offense do it for a change?
