I’ve been watching football since the 60’s.  It may just be possible that the Jets are the worst team I’ve ever seen.

I was just thinking how jealous all the other players must be that Bell was able to get out

Well Tenn had already converted one against Houston on their previous score and had three open guys Tanny could throw to. 

 

People are missing the point here. The % in other scenarios is irrelevant when your D hasn't stopped the opposition all day. 

Just like Houston We also went for 2 points against Tennessee didn’t workout that good either

Good decision on a less then 50% conversion rate made even tougher by the stout Titans D?

 

I respectfully disagree.

 

Its all good...

 

Winning on D was made impossible by Houston not having one.

So uh did the Packers decide to not show up today?

I think defenses are starting to figure things out. Seems like defenses have been much better today, at least the games I've been watching

I am not saying the 2 point conversion was a high % play. But they had more chance of that than stopping Tenn at any point. As the two length if the field drives prove. 

 

You can't take what you know about the two teams out of this decision. Tenn had only been stopped by turnovers. They had already converted a 2 pointer. The Houston defense sucks. Their best chance to win the game was right there with the ball in the hands of the guy who is, by far, their best player.

Todd Bowles is a good example of why some coaches should stay in their lane. He has been an elite DC in the NFL. He’ll likely get another chance to be a HC however. 

Somebody needs to explain this to Daboll.

Seriously, they are giving the 0-16 Lions a run for worst ever.

Tampa had an abysmal defense last season 

 

How have they turned it around so fast, meanwhile we have a bottom 5 D in the league

Like I say, the league average of converting the 2 points is 47% If memory serves me. The better the oppositions Dline the harder it gets.

 

I'm not totally hating the call, but its not something I would have done. As it was Tannehill had to be perfect which albeit, he was, and it still came down to the wire.

 

Perhaps I'm foolish for thinking this way, but showing some faith in your players on D might inspire them to play better in circumstances like the Texans faced today in my humble opinion.

Great point. I would have taken him in a heartbeat over Rex and McD. Same for Hue Jackson. I thought both would make great HCs. Similar stories for Wade Phillips and Norv Turner.

They really didn't when you got below the headline numbers. Their D came on strong second half of the year despite being put in bad spots a lot by their offense turning it over.
