That insides kick with 4 to go?

[Jchilly]

What was the thought process on that?

 

[coult44]

As bad as the entire game was. That play decided the outcome

 

[Tabascocat]

No idea but was a terrible decision. One first down is pretty much in FG range on a play that will not work two weeks in a row

 

[kskboys]

Horrific decision.

 

[Wezsh0T]

They should have done the same kick as the one right before it. I don't think that was an onsides kick. I think it was some kind of weird intermediate squib.

 

[Carson]

Agreed.

Either kick it deep and pray for one more defensive stop.

Kick the onside kick and hope you recover.

Instead they decided to do neither

 

[ClappingCarrot]

They scored on one play.

Not really sure it matters in the grand scheme of things.

 

[Kingofholland]

What was the thought process on that?

I think it was intended to be more like the prior kick but the Leg didn't connect with it well.

 

[Lutonio]

I was wondering if that was another analytics thing where I’m just unaware of the numbers. Seemed idiotic to me.

 

[RJ_MacReady]

Look on the bright side, we have been averaging about 3 special teams gaffs a game. "We're getting it cleaned up".

"Let's see how much bigger of an eight ball we can play behind".

it matters because they don’t run a reverse if they are backed up inside the 20. They play it way more safe

 

[kskboys]

I think they thought we were still playing ATL.

They listened to the hoopla about how awesome that kick against ATL was, never mind that it took a huge gaffe by ATL for us to get it.

I was scratching my head with that decision. Even if we stopped them, they flop field position.

But your defense couldnt stop the run all day.

 

[Cowboyz88]

Special Teams and Defense are why we are 1-3.

The players and coaching decisions are pathetic.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

What was the thought process on that?

I thought would kick it deep there

 

[slick325]

Bad decision...don't understand why that call at that moment. Kick it deep and force Mayfield and Sefanski to win a game with their nerves rattled, only up 3 with 4 minutes left.

 

[TheCoolFan]

We really had a chance if not for that dumb decision. There is zero justification for that. This is not debatable like the 2-point conversion topic because I'm sure the analytics don't tell you to try that there.

exactly. i’m convinced this would have played out much differently if they just kicked it normally.
