Texans v. Skins Gameday Thread

I don't understand the 63 yard FG attempt at the end of the game, without a tail wind that has to be about the lowest percentage option out there. Made no sense.

Yeah, there was enough time to attempt a 7 yard out.

Make it an 11 yard out then or a deeper heave and hope for a flag or a catch and run. Also they were on the 45. I know Colt is somewhat of a noodle arm, but I am sure he should be able to chuck it a little over 50 yards.

They didn't give us a flag on Doctson's pass why would you think they would on a hail mary?

I realize the referees rarely call pass interference on Hail Marys and Hail Marys are rarely completed. There have been 6 field goals of 63 yards and longer in NFL history and half of those were in Mile High stadium. Pretty sure there have been a lot more than a half dozen end of game Hail Mary's completed, and last second pass interference calls than that. Unless there was a 20 MPH tail wind that was a bad call by Gruden.

7 yard out on 4th and 10?

it was 4th and 10. the only choices at that point were a hail mary pass or hail mary FG. I think Gruden wished on Hopkins leg strength over Colt's arm strength. Got a give a little knock on Quinn. He gave himself up at the 45, which may have been a good call, but if he had fought for a few yards we might have gotten into FG range on that play.
