The reality is the O-Line wasn't giving Allen any time and the receivers were not getting open all game, including those last 3 plays. They also had a spy on Josh every time he tried to roll out and that didn't allow time for the receivers to break open for JA to find them like they normally do. Hats off to the Texans' DC. They did a great job putting pressure on Josh and wrapping up (in some cases literally) the receivers.
The play calling on that last series was really, really bad. Considering that our defense had held Houston to 6 points since the 1st quarter, why not play for OT when you are backed up inside your 5??? if you run the ball 3 times, even if the Texans call TO, then maybe you push them deeper after the punt, they have no TO's and less time to get into FG range. Just terrible. And not the first time.
I hate to be that guy, but the next game...Monday night against the Jets...is a must win. They have to prove that they can win on the road.
