Do You Go for it Fourth and 1?
What do you think of the decision to kick a 50 yd FG versus going for it on fourth and 1? Conservative Gibbs-ball or the correct decision?
We missed the FG, the cowboys get it back on the 40 and score a TD.
My answer: we need at least 30 to beat this team. We start on the 4 and drive to the 33. Cowgirls and their lame fans are on their heals. You go for it, get a first and keep driving toward that goal line. Let JC play and win here!
Winners play to win and Gibbs is playing not to lose - but we lose anyway.
p.s. the colts go for it on fourth and 1 and make it to win the game. just like the eagles did last week.

Suisham isn't reliable at all past 50. If we had a better long range kicker, I'd try the FG, but not with Suisham.

In Gibbs I he would have gone for it.
The continual criticism during the press conference, about these game decisions has got to be getting this 67 year old man down. IMO there is no way he will go through another year of this.
He holds this team back and they're not good enough to win with that continual handicap.

I would be willing to bet that kicking the FG receives zero votes, lol.

I didn't like it when it happened, and I still don't like it. We have to develop some type of go for the kill mentality, and it has to start from the top.

Yeah, but there's always the: "gibbs is a god - he can do no wrong" crowd.
And you thought "marty-ball" was conservative!

You have to go for it there, it wasnt about making the yard or getting stuffed for a loss, it would have sent a message not only to Dallas' defense that we came to win, but also to our offense that coach Gibbs has full confidence in them. Instead Suisham shanks the field goal and we look like chumps again. Give it to Sellers running behind Lorenzo Alexander or Todd Yoder and let him run someone over for that one yard, impose our will on them, show them were the better team and were here to kick your ass all day long, thats what I would have done.

When you consider that you are playing a team that scores lots of points, field goals aren't going to win the game. A 50 yarder is just too chancy itself. If it was like a 35 yarder than i think the argument is closer because you expect to make that.

20 years ago you could win just on the FG......
now it's good or better QB play and TDs that win games.
Honestly I didn't expect this result. I figured there would be someone defending the conservative FG choice - even though we lost and it didn't work.
I EVEN thought there might be someone who would support the ubber-conservative, curl-up-in-a-ball and suck my thumb approach with the punt...

I said go for it, but it's easy to say this after the fact. I was fine with the field goal try, but too bad we missed it. I was fine with either decision, but I personally would have tried to gain the 1st.

OK, who voted for the FG and isn't telling us why?
This isn't secret ballot! Defend thyself.

The moment the ball was no good eveyone knew Dallas would drive down and get points. I despise giving up 7 yds for any attempted play. This and the McIntosh almost pick swayed the momentum back to the girls. I honestly don't think Dallas is that much better than us if at all. All our players have alot of heart. Interested already to see what happens v. Tampa.

It's about making a statement and keeping the momentum going in your favor. You keep the ball and move to downfield. 14-0 and they would have been reeling.
