    Doesn't use a timeout to avoid delay of game. Uses a timeout to allow the Colts to kick a time-expiring FG.

    What a dumbass.

    It's not too late to change your votes, cause BoB inspires realllll confidence with that first half.

    Uses last time out when he had the two minute warning also. What a dumb****.

    He is the dumbest goddam football coach I have ever seen. Maybe not only on the NFL level, my HS coach in 1989 could teach the guy how to manage a game. This is Jerry Glanville Level ****.

    I no longer abstain (not reactionary)

    This game against the Colts is the perfect example about how to coach your football team.

    The Colts was leading by 3 with 2:30 left.

    If the Texan will be in the same situation, there is 100% chance that BoB will just run it up the middle for -3 yards and punt it away.

    And the Colts? They are playing to win and put the ball in the hands of their playmakers.

    The end of the game offside is just a slap on the face insult to a poorly coached with no discipline team with a bad coach.

    In the past we had teams better than their records.

    This team may not be quite as good as its record. So many wins that we fell into backwards.

    I'll be watching the playoffs intently (knock on wood) but I can't help but have almost zero confidence.

    (Why don't I also blame D'Antoni for the Rockets struggles? Because I don't think the Rockets' roster is better than their record or their style of play. Bill seems to do whatever he can to keep his teams conservative and neutered.)

    I hope he gets fired after getting exposed in playoffs, but this 9 game fluke streak might have prolonged his career.

    Throws the challenge flag on a call that will obviously not get reversed and loses a time out they needed at the end of the game.

    if we didn't have such an easy schedule he'd hopefully be gone by now.

    But...but... they've won nine in a row.

    You guys can't enjoy a nine game win streak.

    They have played a better schedule.

    What else we got this week?









    For the record, I dont want the head coach fired. I just want a competent OC.

    Obriens 20 point offense and clock management BS shows up again.

    It's been 5 years of this. He's so lucky he has Watt and Crennel on the other side to save his ass every time

    Who? I was never on CSI. Manhunter was a a great Michael Mann movie though, and an even better book.

    You’re kidding right? This loss was on crennel and the defense. They couldn’t stop luck.

    Obrien did a good job play calling, incorporating the TEs more, considering they had qb playing wr. Also, Watson overthrew his receivers and held on to ball too much.

    Defense shut out the colts for the final quarter we couldn't muster even 14 points via offense to win the game. But sure it was alllll defense fault.

    So was last weeks win on Crennel and the defense? Or did you give credit to the head coach then?

    How can you say this loss is on the defense and also mention Watson's mistakes? Yes, the defense couldn't stop Luck. But Watson's many mistakes, bad O-Line, BOB's decision to punt with 6 minutes left in the first half and weird use of a time out = offense.
