Really. Were we phoning Norv for the play calls? Same crap. We have a good defense pound the fucking football. WTF. Was Matthews hurt? How many 3rd and 2's are we gonna pull Matthews and lineup in shotgun. Fuck this shit. Fire Mccoy.
4 Carries after being up 28-7

Honestly I think a lot of it was the Texans just controlling the clock and not letting us get into any rhythm. But I agree, the running game seemed to vanish there in the 2nd half. Why can't we give Mathews the ball 25 times once and see what happens? Last night was perfect for that up 28-7.ESPN Screename: GoBolts02

After the second Eddie Royal TD, the ball should have been run the first 3 downs on the next drive. There were 4 total running plays in the 2nd half last night and I was too tired to remember things very well, but I don't think that happened because then there'd be more than 4 total runs I think.
Even if Mathews is tired (an issue I brought up earlier about his conditioning being the leading factor for his preseason fumble) that is EXACTLY why you pay the backups on the team. Woodhead is as versatile as they get, but I don't remember seeing him used well in the 2nd half. Brown had over 5 yards per carry for the game, so clearly he was somewhat effective.
It is just like watching Sproles up the middle: not properly utilizing the talent you have to win the game.
EDIT: The drive after being being 28-14:
(4:45) (Shotgun) 17-P.Rivers pass incomplete deep left to 85-A.Gates (38-D.Manning).
2-10-SD 38 (4:39) 24-R.Mathews left guard to SD 39 for 1 yard (38-D.Manning).
3-9-SD 39 (3:56) (Shotgun) 17-P.Rivers pass incomplete deep middle to 11-E.Royal (31-S.Keo).
You are telling me that up by 2 scores with 5 minutes left in the 3rd Quarter that 2 deep passes are the answer to sealing a win? Yeah, right.Last edited by Vermstyr; 09-10-2013, 01:35 PM.

I'm still baffled why they didn't run to the right most of the night. They had one 7 yard run when they ran right with Rinehart pulling. Then they never did it again. It's just simply stupid to keep running left and trying to exploit Smith not being there, when your run blocking to the left side is so shit. It also lets Watt just slice through the line when he doesn't need to worry about keeping contain to his side. I'd also much rather be going right at Watt and making him exert more energy trying to push back, vs pursuing the play. Just stupid.
4 fucking running plays...
