I disagree.

If we are up by 10 or down by 10, yea, maybe you go for it on 4th down.

In a 1 point game, where you can lose by a FG, you punt the ball. Sorry, I agree with Sparano here.

I do too. He gets absolutely KILLED if he goes for it and doesnt make it. Sometimes you just cant win I guess.
 
Punting on 4th and short on the 40 yard line on the road is ridiculous if the game is close. The punt is almost always a net of maybe 20 yards. We have a ton of O-line talent, 2 great backs, use them.

Sparano should have gone for it, and if it didn't work, I wouldn't change my opinion.
 
Sparano should've intercepted that ball in the 4th quarter that was right in Hill's hands as well. :wink:
 
I'm more upset by passing plays on 3rd and short. Once in a while it is OK but it seemed like there were several times in the game when we passed when we should have ran. Maybe we wouldn't have had so many 4th and 1s.

No, it was the right call. If they dont convert that 4th down, the Texans can run the ball a couple of times and can be in FG range. You just dont do that UNLESS the game is absolutely on the line...which it was not at the time. This isn't a video game...my god what is wrong with people.
 
You go for it, no excuses, YOU GO FOR IT. The way the game was going you have to go for that.

"IF" your going to disagree with a coaches call you can at least quote the correct situation. The 4th and inches in the 4th quarter was from our own 44 yard line. It took a 56 yard punt for the touchback and the net on the punt was 36 yards not 20.... just saying....:foundout:

Why would you risk giving them the ball 9 yards out of FG range?
 
you have to go for that. If your right, your a smart coach with balls. if your wrong, your a wrong coach with balls. I'd rather have someone say, man that didnt work out but atleast you had the nuts to do it, than man it was 6 inches dont you have balls? Do you understand my reasoning here. At the end of the day its all about pride and how you'll be perceived and for today Sparano is a p**** with no faith in his oline.
 
If he goes for it and it gets stopped, we have articles talking about how dumb it was to go for it. Sparano made the right decision.
 
That was a Terribel decison. I was screaming at the TV, what are you doing.
