This just cements to me the stupidity of the game plan. Why are we trying to run long developing routes and looking for big passing plays AGAINST THIS DEFENSE?
I would have trotted out there 13 personnel, and run heavy set runs, quick dump offs, etc. The only way the Texans beat us is through their defense and special teams/field position. We let them do it by producing so many negative plays on offense.
This. The failure has been on offense. In the Miami and Atlanta games, I would argue it was mostly on Josh.
In the Houston game, I have no idea who is to blame. The play calling, line, receivers, QB? It was all off.
I was just thinking this after the game tonight.
i used to enjoy those drought era games more. Maybe it’s worse to have high expectations that are dashed.
sure, if we pinned the Texans back with bad field position every time, instead of them doing that to us. Davis Mills isn’t driving 90 yards down the field multiple times.
Had some debates earlier this week about this, but I continue to believe that when you play a team like the Texans, you just have to be conservative.
Runs, quick passes. Play field position. Make FGs. Take points when you can get them. no sacks or turnovers. We play a clean game, and that is probably a 16-10 type win.
