We’ll never know for sure but there were many reasons to believe a run in an obvious running situation would not be successful from the second drive of the game onward

They were not I don’t believe…I’ve gotta watch that mess again though to confirm 🤣.

Not necessarily…Martin who is constantly torched by this board hit a really good punt there. The coaches don’t know how good the punt/return is gonna be before it happens but posters here have the power of hindsight. i think more often that not Houston is taking over immediately in fg range on three straight runs and a punt there. I also don’t get this notion that we would’ve been guaranteed to gain yardage running in an obvious running situation it was def bad but I can see it going equally as bad with three runs too

I think it was a first down at all costs scenario and Mack looked like he had a step on that second down. Three straight runs were getting stuffed there also. If they trusted Martin to punt like he did and still decided to throw, they’re idiots. But i certainly wouldn’t have

Now that the rage has worn off, I don’t think mcd had a lot of faith in Martin to hit a good punt there…I don’t think he punts it that well 9/10 times. Three runs and a punt they very well could’ve lost still and looked even dumber not playing for the first with Houston immediately taking over in fg range

3 straight runs and punt is usually gonna give the Texans a drive start in fairbairn fg range…really needed a first down there. I don’t blame anybody at all for being pissed at it but if we went the run punt and the Texans won things would be even worse in here a better than expected Martin punt that I’m sure mcd wasn’t expecting is skewing things a bit

This all gets pretty hindsighty…it was definitely bad for sure but idk if it was egregiously bad. If you know the punt/return is gonna end where it did then yea you obviously run three times and punt. There was a very good chance that three runs and a punt would’ve given Houston a drive start in fg range already though people assuming we would’ve picked up 3-6 yards in an obvious rushing situation like that I think are reaching a little bit. Very good chance you go backwards there

Everyone would’ve been mad we didn’t take one shot but once we took the shot and got an opi we were pretty much forced into that

This was infinitely worse coaching from Houston than anything we have done outside of 13 seconds

This whole board was calling for a blitz 😂

Genuinely don’t understand how…that’s the right call

Why? If they get the first it’s probably over with their kicker

I don’t feel good about this one but everyone said that in the cardinals game and we won 🤣

Everyone will blame it and say it was prevent defense which 100% isn’t true 😂

It was a heck of a play by the defense to get back in that play…the run to the right/curl freed the receiver up (couldn’t tell who it was) and the defender slipped

You want Mitch trubisky throwing a pass there?! Haha the gameday thread is out of control

Playclock was running out

You in no way shape or form let trubisky throw the ball there lol.

Can’t argue that run call haha

He might come back if we can tie it here

Honestly it’s their only chance haha doubt it’s intentional though

What was reckless about throwin a ball haha y’all continue to be nuts

I’m mad I didn’t predict this but stroud does very very boneheaded things multiple times in close games lol

He made some huge contested catches against us in the playoffs lol he just hates the bills in particular I guess

This whole board was saying we take too many deep shots and don’t work underneath enough a mere 45 minutes ago haha
