Kyle Shanahan don't need to know no stinking OT rules. Mario CRYSTALBALL is still unreal dumb - Page 32 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

i just saw the texans-colts highlights:

Texans down 13-0, Moats fumbles the ball on the Colts 1 with 2:08 left in the first half, refs rule it out of bounds but it seems to clearly go into the endzone first for a touchback

Colts don't challenge, and instead of hurrying up and running the play, the Texans let the two-minute warning hit. During the warning, Colts make the decision to challenge after seeing the play again and talking it over.

Maybe not so obvious, but you gotta run a play if you got a good break that can be overturned. This is what I mean when I say Gary Kubiak has no situational awareness.

Andy Reid kicked a FG down 20-13 with 5 minutes to play and no timeouts left.

Not just any field goal, a 52 yard field goal. Amazing.

Yes, I probably should have included that awesome part of the story.

That wasn't even close to Reid's worst decision yesterday.

His two challenge attempts were pretty brilliant. I can barely watch the eagles anymore, so tired of McNabb and the fat man gagging away games.

I saw this in real-time and was like "wtf are they doing???" when I saw Schaub start walking away toward the sideline. I thought it was standard to call a quick run play there before they can challenge. Guess Kubiak wasn't aware of that process. ****

A 20 yard FG would be 1000x worse than a 52 yard FG. DUCY?

Cable is pretty clearly above average for NFL coaches regarding in-game decisions.

But a 40 yard FG would have been better than a 52 yarder (though still the wrong decision).

Love Sean Payton, but calling a timeout to decide whether or not you want to challenge an obvious incomplete pass, and then ultimately wasting another timeout to challenge it was all sorts of fail.

Chilly was way ahead of the curve on this one. A true innovator.

Chilldress calls timeout to decide whether or not to challenge. [after timeout he decides to challenge]. WWWWWTTTTTTTTFFFFFFFFFF

Quote:

As soon as Childress did that I came on 2+2 to look at this thread. He didnt win the challenge either, so he wasted two timeouts LOL.

Wow, I always thought the hate for him on here was exaggerated but maybe he really is that bad. Is he as bad as Mike Tice?

Yeah the "Childress Challenge Fail" has been around for a while now. It seems other coaches are adding it to their repertoire.

This is because QB is getting sacked, fumbles, or throws INT. No coaching decisions required.

Losing 14-0 in the 1st Quarter:

Last Play: 4-1-SD 1(6:39) D.Akers 18 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-J.Dorenbos, Holder-S.Rocca.

Nice call Andy Reid.

I believe this is universally referred to as "pulling a Chilly."

Thought the classic Chilly is running 3 pass plays on 1st and goal inside the one (with best RB in league on sidelines), then kicking FG on 4th.
