Yeah, this is true. Gibbs did say he would've went for it on fourth down if it was like 4th and one. Speaking of field goals, we have to feel really good about Susiessnsnsnman! LOL!!!

It was without a doubt the wrong call. If the Redskins got 2 yards, the game would be over, if they didnt the Saints would be 25 yards farther back. Even if they had the same drive they that they did, they wouldnt have been able to kick a field goal because they would be in worse field position. Gibbs just got lucky.

How can you say it was without a doubt the wrong call, when it was a call that clearly helped to win the game??

Remember, it is easier kicking field goals inside a dome than it is outside with a breeze blowing. I guess you have to think of it in terms like this: #1 offense in the league, and no matter how good our defense had been playing, it has been notorious this year for giving up big drives when we needed a stop. While certainly a TD by us would've put the game pretty much out of reach.

Yeah Suisham is now 7/7 the last 2 weeks!

Either way, it was the defense who ultimately won the game for us at the end there. I don't believe I would've been disappointed if we had went for it on 4th down. Either way, we won the ball game. That's the most important thing.

What if the Skins had gone for it and didn't get a 1st down or a TD and NO tied it up and won in OT?

Everyone would be saying how that was the wrong call and you have to get the points in order to go up by more than a FG with 4 min left in the game.

Your reasoning explains why Gibbs made the decision to kick the FG, and in my opinion it was the proper decision to make. With that three points, NO was forced to score a TD on their last drive with no other options available.

The pass to Moss, prior to the FG, I would have liked to see go pass the first down marker as opposed to two yds. short, then maybe Gibbs would not have had to make that FG decision at all.

I can't decide who is more annoying Baldinger or Bill Maas, both of those guys are huge bafoons.

Baldy still couldn't say Antwaan today. LOL

By the way Maas is by far the worst announcer in the history of sports. Baldinger isn't even in the same conversation as Maas.

Baldinger also kept calling Marques Colston...Marcus.

Maas is the bottom of the barrel for Fox.

I know this is a football forum, but Bill Walton makes me want to put a bullet in my skull when I hear him announce a game.
