I don't think the field goal is the single source of failure. I think, rather, it is indicative of a deeper problem in BoB's game. The field goal is the comfortable, easy, and risk averse choice. Analytically it makes sense. Generally speaking, you want points. Likewise, shifting to a grind the clock style play selection is useful when you have a large lead. The problem is BoB is bound to follow idiomatic knowledge rather than assess the current situation. This is the type of circumstance where historical statistics provide incomplete and bad data. BoB went up by three touchdowns. Good football sense says try to grind the game out from here. His playcalling mirrored that philosophy. Kicking the fieldgoal in light of that backdrop makes sense. Likewise, 4th and 3 with a surprise fake fg is a pretty high percentage play, and when you're still up by 3 scores, is typically worth the payoff. However, this type of dogmatic knowledge is expressly mean based, and must be adjusted when you're dealing with outliers like the chiefs with Reid and Mahomes. This means that a game of field control does not work. Points must be scored on every drive. Running time off the clock is not the optimal solution. BoB's playcalling, though, was what you would call against an average team, and it would be effective most of the time. His offensive playcalling shifted entirely to fourth quarter grind the clock mode in the second quarter of football. That's a bad decision based upon a bad understanding of statistics. BoB's death was trying to establish the run.

I think this is one of those situations where the actual decision doesn't really matter. The difference between being up 24-0 or 28-0 is insignificant. But how they arrived at the decision is what's important. They kicked the field goal because they didn't know what the gently caress they actually wanted to do. Then they just compounded it with the fake punt because they felt obliged to try something after the field goal. The lack of a plan and lack of decisive thinking is the problem.

Do you guys believe that this Texans team, as currently constituted, had it been coached yesterday by, say, Bill Belichick, would have beaten the Chiefs more often than not?

Not really a fair question because Bill Belichick isn’t a potential replacement, the replacement will be Generic NFL Coach like Jay Gruden or Jeff Fisher or maybe Marvin Lewis if McNair feels really adventurous.

Worst blown lead by Belichick Patriots was in 2011, against the Bills of all teams - I'm pretty sure that was the first time the Bills had beat NE since that infamous 2003 opening week game. They blew a 21-0 lead by virtue of Brady throwing 4 picks and lost 34-31. You'll never guess who was the Bill's QB.

I like the fake punt call from the stand point of the Chiefs offense was finding its rhythm and getting the 1st down there gave your defense time to breathe and adjust. After the FG is pretty crazy though

Tbh that’s what I mean. I think they get hosed up by the chiefs even with the consensus best coach/cheater of all time and the odds you get 1/3 of that are low. If you’re lucky you’ll get a guy who’s an average to slightly above average NFL coach, a Bill O’Brien if you will

This one game is not the issue with BoB as a whole, it's just indicative of BoB as a whole.

Look how many people said "cant wait to see how they blow this". He didn't just gently caress this up, he fucks everything up so consistently that it is expected. 28-3 was a crazy fluke that was 1 in a million. The Falcons coaching staff had no reputation as chokers who squander things prior to that (the franchise as a whole is another story). 24-0 was an inevitable fuckup that anyone familiar with BoB saw coming.

It's hardly BoBs fault that there was a fumble recovery on a punt and kick return at a crucial time for the Chiefs.

The fake punt happened when the score was 24-7 when the offense had barely done anything. The Chiefs offense had to drive 80 yards total to cut the score from 24-0 to 24-21, and 30 of those yards were from a penalty. When the Texans ran that fake punt the only they weren't walking into halftime with a lead is if they gave the Chiefs cheap points. Which they did twice.

the chiefs could solve all of their issues by creating the new position of Clock Coordinator for reid's coaching staff and placing said staffer in charge of all timeout and pacing decisions, allowing reid to spend all game looking at film with mahomes as he wishes to do i feel no such easy solution exists for the texans' problems

Brady loudly told BOB to gently caress off on the sidelines during a game. And he would say "yes sir" to the Gatorade cooler if Belichick told him to. Point is BOB was never respected by anybody because he was always a dumb bitch even by the low standards of Pats coordinators.

I dunno if they would have won, but they certainly wouldn't let themselves get outscored 51-7 after being up 24-zip. Plus, I mean, the Texans just looked like they stopped caring in the second half. I've never seen a Belicheck-coached team look that defeated, much less that early.
