Whose Idea Was It?

Whoever was at fault for not having S help over the top on that play hopefully got a tongue lashing - or worse. I can see a DB getting beat by CJ in that situation, but it was inexcusable for there not to be a Safety in close proximity to tackle or not knock him out of bounds. I mean the Lions were at 2yd line and had to go the whole damn field in order to score. For a coach or player to get fooled or to 'bite' on the run in that instance is just insane. How badly is a running play going to hurt you in that situation? Dumb football, indeed.

Supposedly we were in quarter quarter half coverage...which means he was all Petey's down the sideline. Check the discussion in the comments here...

If Keith is correct and he probably is, then coach Gibbs needs to get more out of the Olinemen and the RBs during crunch time if we are going to run the clock out. Maybe that is what we are all alluding to.
