The thing about the pass play that hurt more than anything to me was that it stopped the clock. With a run play, even if we don't get it, we run more clock or at least make them use another time out. That was critical.
I didn't think the play call was bad, but Albert got his ass whipped on that play, which killed it, but I do think that the smarter play call probably was a run if not for anything but more clock killing or taking away another timeout from Houston. I also think you have to think about going for it on 4th down there. Why? Because the defense had given up points on every drive at that point for the previous 3 drives. The situation called for the offense to go ahead and win the game. and with 200 yards of rushing offense I think you gamble with that.
Of course had we done that, and not made it people are bitching then too. But in that game situation I think you go ahead and run the ball on 3rd and 4th down. JMO.
