    Drop Watson back to pass and let him run once the play breaks down.

    I’m down on BoB just like everyone else, but I think that there has to be some type of reason here. It’s possible that he knew his goaline set had zero chance of getting push on the Cowboys front. Idk, but that was definitely a head scratcher.

    The loss of Foreman and Miller hurt our RZ offense. Either one of those could have helped. The best I can say foe now is to let Blue throw a chip block on a DE then break out for a pass.

    Has anyone suggested having one of our guys take the football into the endzone?

    Considering there is only one team worse than our horrific red zone offense I would guess there are a lot of better ways to score. Bob needs to study game tapes of the 12 teams scoring 60% of the time and maybe he will learn something. He is such a horrible coach. 36.36% is reason enough to get an offensive coordinator NOW!!!!

    Signing Peterson last offseason would have been nice.

    . Watt basically lined up in shotgun, 7yards behind the LOS.

    How O'Brien actually calls his plays:

    It's not a problem of being more creative. It's a problem of overthinking and not doing the simple and most effective thing. Shotgun from 1/2" line is idiotic, period. It's 1 half of a f***ing inch. Ram it down their throats or jump the pile. They weren't stuffing the run that much. O'Brien wants to be the smartest guy in the stadium...but he's not. Just like the JJ Watt run play against KC in the playoffs. It was f***ing stupid and everyone...EVERYONE...saw it coming a mile away. More often than not, the simple thing is the right thing.
