How many third and short yardage situations had they converted by running the ball?

The Texans had stuffed us on nearly every third and short run throughout the game.

Almost every third down conversion came via the pass.

In my mind why not run it and if you don't get it go for it on 4th down

Probably would have run some more time off the clock too, but noooooo we wanna pass. Look, he is not Peyton Manning. He should not have to be for people to think he had a good game

The clock is the one reall good argument that can be made for running in that situation.

But the fact is, even if you run the ball when you fail to convert, you are still going to leave enough time on the clock for the Texans to mount a drive.

but you make them use a timeout or run it to the 2 min warning. Of course, the way the D played, they only needed 60 seconds. The gone in 60 seconds defense today

That leads me back to my original point.

After ten years of Marty's playing not to lose mentality, I am not going to get upset with aggressive play calling in an attempt to win.

The play call wasn't the problem.
The execution was.

Yeah, but that borders on demanding they go for it on fourth as well. The defense just needed to make ONE play today in the 4th quarter. It did not happen.

Not in that position at that point in the game.

You convert or punt.

There is no other option.

I don't know. If your D isn't stopping them and your O only needs 2 yds and has been running at huge clips all day long I think they could get 2 yds in 2 plays to end the game.

It is kind of like how the 2003-2004 Chiefs Offense had to play because they couldn't trust the d.

You simply don't risk leaving them that short a field.

Especially since we had not stopped them in 3 straight possessions. Once I saw Colquitt, I knew we had lost.

Also, on that note, what the **** was wrong with Colquitt? The guy had two really good opportunities to pin the Texans within the 5 and they sharply bit into the end zone.

Our special teams were far from special today

Carr is the most underrated player on this team, and Colquitt is the most overrated. Good punter, but not elite.

Play action was the right call, just the wrong execution.
