Take the lead and win with d...especially at home.

Leaving the offense on the field, would have shown that you have confidence in them to get it done in a big spot. And if they didn't the defense is in a prime situation to make a big play and eventually get the ball back with good field condition. Plus the crowd would have been right back in it as soon as Barkley took the first snap of the drive from the 2 yard line. Especially should have done it, after Pete Caroll did it in the first quarter on the road.
