Chiefs 3rd and 2 call cost us the game

beer bacon · 10-17-2010, 02:06 PM

Forget about the PI call on Flowers. We lost the game because our coaches decided it was more important to run some tricky bullshit pass when we had 230 yards rushing on that 3rd and 2. We should have just been prepared to run the ball twice and get the first down. Hell, we still should ran on 4th and 2 instead of punting. Haley has shown great in-game awareness, but that was not the case today.

It was ballsy....and you don't complain when Haley is ballsy and goes for the risky plays elsewhere.

If we ran it and got stuffed because a run was predictable you'd bitch too.

Spott · 10-17-2010, 02:12 PM

They haven't stopped the run all day yet they try that horseshit call and put the game in the hands of a shitty QB who ****s it up, of course.

The thing is, that even if you fail with the run. It costs them either 30 seconds or a timeout. I think that significantly alters late game strategy.

Haley doesn't get a pass for bad calls just because the call was bold. We had 230 yards rushing and 6 ypc on the day. We needed two yards in two plays to get a first down. On top of that, our defense hadn't gotten a stop all half. It was not a smart coaching decision to throw that pass.

Ok the third and 2 would have worked if Cassel would have seen the guy in front of the CB running right. If you look at the reply he is focusing on Moaki but as you see it from the end zone camera there was someone opening running right and could have been a big gain.

It was an absolute abomination of a call...they couldn't stop us on the ground, run the goddamn ball.

Even if they stop us, it forces them to use a TO.

Ridiculous.

The PI call didn't matter anyway since Johnson caught the ball. They declined the penalty.

Rather, it was the non PI on Johnson that mattered.

It was an absolutely terrible playcall. We were gashing them with the run. Have to run there.

Micjones · 10-17-2010, 02:15 PM

Couldn't have said it better myself. Horrible decision.
**** the PI penalty. We lost the game after we refused to run the ball.
No way in HELL you give the ball back to Houston after we'd struggled to stop them all Half.

Run on 3rd & 2. Run again on 4th Down.

We didn't need a touchdown to win. We needed a first down. We should have ran the plays that gave us the greatest chance at converting that 3rd down. We didn't need to worry about getting a big gain or a TD.

Mecca · 10-17-2010, 02:16 PM

With this team even if they know the run is coming, run it on 3rd and short. If you can run on 3rd and 8 you can damn well run on 3rd and 2.

**BigMeatballDave** · 10-17-2010, 02:17 PM

Stupid thread. None of this matters if the D makes a ****ing stop.

Easy to say that from your armchair, but it was clear that Moeaki was they target for that play. The play call sucked and the pass sucked. Had he thrown it so Moeaki could catch it, the refs could have called PI as well. Alas....
