No. The skins played a completely different offensive game then they have all year. The threw the ball 55 times which is unheard of for a gibbs coached team. Portis didn't suck it up and our run D didn't dominate. The skins simply did the unexpected with their gameplan.
No, Phillips knew the only way that Washington wins this game is if they control the clock and keep Dallas off the field. Phillips dared Washinton to put up 30 points, knowing that a shootout favored Dallas. A win was all that mattered. This isn't college ball where style points matter.
A good many of their completions were thanks to the LBs playing shallow and run first. Everyone knew that sooner or later bad things would happen if Washington threw the ball around.
The only thing that made me PO'd the entire game was Dallas's last two possessions. I thought Garrett had the cajones to go for the jugular. Dallas could have put up 40 if they needed to.
