2023 Season, 17th game, Saturday, Jan. 6th, 2024

[AKB]

I don't understand why people are blaming steichen. The only mistake I see is wasting a timeout at the end. 

 

Play call was fine. Bad execution by a backup QB and a practice squad running back.

Agreed it was drawn up perfectly and the Texans weren’t expecting it. Up to the players to get the job done.

we just dont have the talent

The fans in person are way better and take losses better than all the sore losers online I promise you.

Season on the line and we throw it to a practice squad running back. 

That's the confusing part for me. The play was there, but expecting a 4th string running back to make a pressure catch like that is too risky. 

[ojsglove]

Ouch

 

[Happy2BeHere]

Well at least my heart and bad mood Sundays get to take off the next 8 months or so  

[ojsglove]

Great season

Minshew blew it

[w87r]

Highly disappointed in 2 decisions.

 

 

The rest I can deal with.

1. Timeout on 4th and 1(dumbest thing ever)(literally run any play, if you don't get it you still have all 3 timeouts.)

2. Having Goodson in the game ever when Taylor and Moss are active....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for the season Gardner, hopefully that was the last time I have to watch you be our starter though.

Dear God….. no one wants to hear your judgmental nonsense right now been a fan waaaaay longer then you so beat it

You’ve been a fan way longer than me?   I’m about to turn 67, so I highly doubt it.  
 

I’ve probably followed the NFL longer than you’ve been alive.  (55+ years).

Fun team to watch

Was that his first snap in the game? I don't remember seeing him earlier in the game.

You just said it. Bad execution by a practice squad running back when the best player on the roster (who had 188 yards rushing tonight) is watching from the sideline. You can try to justify that all you want, but it cannot be justified. 

[AKB]

Now we can start talking about if Pittman is a number one receiver again.  

 

Fun 

[IndyEV]

My old HS coach always said if the ball hits you in the hands, you better catch it, or there would be he// to pay! By that, he meant a crapload of up-downs during practice!

Don't accuse one of judgmental nonsense, when spewing your own version of the same. LOLOL

I will do as I please, I am at the game and most of the fans are agreeing that he blew it, as are a lot in here so beat it

[coach kline]

How far do you really think we would go in playoffs?

[ojsglove]

So who wants Frank back???

[Lancer1]

We should've won, but we never led at any point in this game at home, against a very banged up team.

He was twisted backwards

No where, because we dropped the ball…

He’s still here

Hit him in both hands. Cannot make this any simpler

We're very mediocre with a scrappy QB

Not very, but having an extra game would have been nice.

blown out  we have no passing game .   imagine facing the dolphins with hill and waddle they would drop 30 plus on us . same with the browns or chiefs .

Colts were beaten by the better team.

 

It's up to Ballard to.fix it.

 

Can Ballard fix it ?

Casserrio had way more obstacles to over overcome than Ballard and look what he has built. There are young players makers all over that team. Ballard needs to go.

[AKB]

I feel like the people comparing Reich to steichen are really just doing it out of spite. 

 

I'm not sure where the motivation comes from but I saw considerable differences in the team and the management of players. 

 

Reich is the first head coach to be fired in back to back seasons. Steichen Inherited a 4 win team and just almost took them to the playoffs. They're  not the same.
