Look, fellas. Gibbs went for it on 4th. The play call has a number of options for Campbell. Watch the play again. He makes the wrong read. MacCardell is wide open on the screen and jumps up and down in frustration after the play. That's the young QB going with a read that worked last week--hello, everyone just forget that????--and should have come off to the slant (which of course, also worked last week for 30 something yards to ARE).

I don't see a fault in the playcalling--you had one wide open WR, and then you had a running back with the ball one on one against an LB, where you needed two yards. We didn't execute. Full stop.

Totally agree about the spot, and the reffing in general--just horrible. That "double foul" was one of the most dubious calls I've EVER seen. I can't recall that sort of thing. If there's contact, and both players push, and then the WR makes a catch, here's an idea: KEEP THE FRIGGIN FLAG IN YOUR POCKET! (That was just one of many very questionable things...)
