If they were 10 yards further upfield, I’d agree. But barely across their own 40, how likely were the Colts to parlay a successful conversion into a game-winning FG?
I think the kicker pulled his motion bc he heard the whistle.
What a dumb dumb move Indy. Like really dumb
The problem is that whatever it is for you, it's higher for the Texans. Ed: if you fail.
Bingo.
With 27 seconds and one TO you’ve best case got like 4 plays in all likelihood, and you’ll need 15-20 yards for a FGA.
A fake punt would’ve made more sense since you could bust 20 plus on one of those with the right look.
One timeout, because they would have had to call one if they'd caught the 4th down pass.
it's probably better than it looks but the play that happened on 4th makes it look worse for sure
I agree, Texans had the better odds. But the Colts are 1-2 and a young team. Might as well go for bust imo.
It's say 60/40 to covert and 50 chance after that to win. However, if you punt it's a high 90% to tie
100%, the Texans would have taken a knee I think. Unless it was shanked.
Colts would have needed like another 20 yards or so for the FG. Doable with no timeouts but not easy.
So a 30 % chance to win. I wonder how much of the remaining 70% in loss and how much tie.
Oh, that’s right, they used it to try and draw them off. Pretty bleak, then, I agree.
Probably 60ish percent of the remaining 70, so 42% real?
Though 60% convert on fourth and four seems high.
I bet overall it was somewhere around 40% tie and 30% each for win and loss. Maybe that’s even high, given no more timeouts. That’s a significant factor.
Well I only say less than 100 for punt return and or block but yeah essentially 100%. So I guess if you are a coach and care about what's right for the team and record, you'd punt. A tie is not a bad outcome some think it is.
It made it seem even more bizarre when they went for it. Why waste a TO trying to draw them offsides if you plan on going for it? You'll probably need that TO if you convert.
Part of this is random variance, but the Giants are making it tough on them for sure. How many times does Kamara drop that second down pass, or Watson that third down?
I believe I said after the Khalil Mack trade that the Bears would be a playoff team this year if Trubisky is competent. Safe to say he looks rather good and so does the team as a result.
What a pass and throw for Mayfield and Landry.
You haven't seen anything like that in Cleveland since Brian Sipe.

Announcers .. Yea, knee was down (on Cleveland 2 point conversion).
Camera pans away... Johnson had the football 2 feet in the end zone.
Announcers... Yea. That knee is down.

My mother in law is the biggest sports fan I know. She lives in Cleveland. I met my wife in 2005. It is very fair to say I've never seen her this happy about the Browns. I think they had one season where they made a run at the playoffs(2007 with Derek Anderson?) but that was before the team was a laughingstock for a decade and my MiL was younger.
Anyway, it's really nice to see a Browns fan have something to cheer.
