People are having a heart attack over the lateral and it had no effect in the game

Im very indifferent to it. If he gets that off, knox had potential to get HUGE extra yardage... If he never attempted it thats fine too.

 

The reality is, I will take a competitor like Josh than the Tyrod's, EJ's and Edwards we've had for so long who refused to make a play unless it was wide open.

It was a bonehead play, kind of like giving gore the ball twice on second and 10 in scoring position or allowing ford to go one on one with watt on a pivotal third down in the redzone 

 

McDermott should own this loss and stop blaming others, his coaching staff let this team down

You're right that it probably didn't impact the outcome, but it's a good example of the kid's brain short circuiting, and it happens too frequently.  

And yet if he got that to Knox and Knox picks up another 10-20 he would be called a genius

Allen should be criticized for how far he went backwards, after we were in field goal range. The texans made the right call for going for it on the 4th and 1, near the end of regulation. If you get it, you win. If you kick the field goal, you give the ball back to the other team, with less then a 1 possesion lead.

Sometimes you need go through these things before you can handle it the way you need to.

 

I'm optimistic that Allen will use this and will exhibit better awareness next season

True this... i've been banging the drum all evening... How you gonna let Hyde out carry Singletary in handoffs? Why does Gore have 8 carries for 22 yards to Singletary's 13 carries for 58.... They should not be that close in carry attempts

Lineman should be criticized more for allowing a 3 man pressure to beat the 5 of them so instantly....
