The coaching staff really tried to give Allen as many chances as they could, but he wasn't able to deliver. 46 pass attempts, 52% completions, still only 264 yards. And we still had a chance to just get us in FG range in OT to win the game, even after botching multiple drives before then. Just a sad showing when it mattered most. Oh well, here's hoping next year he'll improve dramatically.

Man, when you complete those short passes, it's crazy what people can do in open space if given the opportunity. Wish we could do that.

All we needed was a FG...

But I'm sure people will just blame playcalling again, even when the signs are practically slamming them in the face through the TV

This has been all Allen's chance to shine the past few drives now, and especially this one, but everything feels so unnatural & hard for him no matter what he's doing.

Ok, this is Josh's chance to 100% redeem himself!

Josh caused us to lose the coin toss! IS HE JUST TRYING TO THROW AWAY THE GAME?!?!?!! ?

Wait, what?! He's had AMPLE opportunity today to prove he's who people want him to be, but it's entirely on him this entire 2nd half for crumbling under the pressure. The turnovers, the bad passes, the sacks taking us out of FG range....hell, the toss with 1:03 left for no reason that could've cost us the game was proof enough the pressure has dramatically affected his mentality.

Thank you Hauschka for doing your job! And thank you defense for even giving us a chance to erase our previous screw up.

Can we just get it over with & go for the FG? I'm more worried about Allen...

Don't forget fumbles...That's a big one.

Crap, I'm more stressed having Allen back there than just going for the FG & getting it over with

Long FG, but it's better than leaving it up to Allen at this point.

Can't blame play calling. It's very obvious where the issue has been the entire 2nd half.

Just give Hauschka a chance please...

WTF WAS JOSH EVEN THINKING?!

Not even close. Tell that to the Texans who made critical plays 3rd down, even after doing nothing on 1st & 2nd down. And considering all we needed was a freaking FG, we could've just kneeled every down & did better than what Josh did.

He just doesn't know what he's supposed to do in the most obvious situations. It's incredible how consistently bad when presented with the most basic things.

Wow...Allen taking a sack on a crucial 3rd down again to take us out of FG range. We've seen that allllll year

After the last pass attempt, why wouldn't you run it? You have the 2 minute warning coming up, and you don't want to stop the clock. It's smarter to get to the 2 min warning and get a 1st, then you can score & run down the clock. Hoping Allen makes a pass under pressure when he hasn't even been consistent with a clean pocket isn't the best strategy.

And now we can see why letting our offense just durdle around all game and hoping our defense keeps it close isn't a good strategy. We've had numerous chances the past 3 drives to put this game out of reach, now we need a comeback. Let's see if all those 4th quarter comebacks earlier in the year that people always reference actually matter now. Best 4th quarter passer rating right? Let's see it.

The 4th quarter just started, and our second half drives resulted in a fumble by Allen and a 3 & out. That's why we have 6 passes. THINK people. Context matters.

And when people talk about being unable to pass for 300 yards, it's drives like we've just seen that prevent Allen from doing so... Those numbers don't matter, but they come when you're asked to carry your weight & make plays through the air when you're needed. Completing simple passes and keeping drives alive will naturally lead to those stats, even though the stats themselves don't matter. But we needed way more from him the past 3-4 drives, and it's not bad play calling that's slowing him down.

Well the playcalling is showing that we have been playing to win. They're putting a lot of faith in Josh, and he was doing a fairly good job of backing it up until the last couple drives.

Ok, so now the offense just REALLY needs to do their job...again. And Josh needs to figure out how to hold onto a football & fast. I thought big hands were supposed to help with that? lol
