This game was set up to be a perfect letdown game, coming off two huge victories, on the road against a team better than their record by far.
This was a test as to whether we could win a game playing poorly, and we fell short.
The defense had a very bad day overall, and that last play topped it off, how can you not have someone watching for the QB run? Covering the middle of the field, on 4th and short?
We'll have to put this behind us and chalk it up as a learning experience for a young team that still is learning how to win.
Finally, I do not get the final playcall of the game, we have one play with 2 seconds left and your going for a gimmick play?
The correct call in my opinion would be to put Henne out there, let him chuck it down the field (hail mary) and pray someone gets it, or we get a pass interference call, which in turn sets up a game winning field goal.
Seems to me the odds were better than what we tried.
I also don't agree with scoring so quickly on our last scoring drive, why can't the coaches tell Ronnie to go for the 1st down, but do not go into the end zone? We had a chip shot field goal to win, and a first down ensures we can leave no time on the clock for Houston to win the game. Poor stradegy there in my opinion.
