Former_Fan Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 This is just stubborn coaching. The thing that got Mularkey fired. Vrabel said he would be going on 4th downs when he got hired. Being aggressive is game dependent. Was a stupid call once again, and could have been costly. We didn't put up a single point in the second half. Puzzling calls that are becoming more frequent than not.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vrabel isn't an idiot, I'm sure he's done his research on these things Going for it on 4th down is a MUCH bigger risk than kicking a chip shot FG to go up 3 scores. At that point in the game going up 3 scores is basically icing the game. Not to mention getting a TD has the same effect as a FG. Righteous 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santos is 93% from the range that he would have kicked it Tell me again how you want to just nonsensically throw some numbers around?

SleepingTitan Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 There's some logic to running out the clock with more plays and a long drive even if they score, but I didn't like it either. pat 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think it's this "historically bad" call. 70% chance to completely ice the game might be worth the risk. Vrabel obviously thought so. To be fair, I don't disagree with going for 1 in nearly any situation past the 50 yard line Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

efus50 Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 What a dumb ass. Serious its ok to say I made a mistake and move on. There was zero to gain from being up 21 vs 17. Going up 3 scores you make the other team score 2 touchdowns and 1 field goal instead he allowed the Falcons to being able to tie the game with 2 scores. Terrible.

efus50 Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 I don't understand why teams are not happy with 3 points earned and move on. Vrabel looked like a loser Madden player who you like to play against Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nine Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 I imagine Vrabel will be asked about that quite a bit this week. And I imagine JRob will be one of the people doing the asking. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OILERMAN Posted September 29, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 There is no logical reasoning, none. If you have faith in your defense then getting up 3 scores makes more sense. In terms of risk reward it's really as stupid as any decision you will ever see.
