Well, we don't know if that is correct or not, because we got the safety after the 4th down stop. Maybe the Texans have a shorter field and score to make it a one point game and go for two.

1) Reich had no idea that if he failed we would get a safety
2) Safety put us up 6, so a TD beats us. If we just kicked the FG and put us up 7, then they are forced to score a TD and either tie the game or go for two and risk losing. That is a FAR better scenario than being up 4 or 6 after the safety. Not kicking the FG was fucking stupid.

This gives some insight on the 4th down play

It was a mistake. That’s all the insight I want to hear

Was that the only 4th down try they made in that game?

No.

They went for it on 4th and 4 in the 2nd quarter, and Philip Rivers completed a 39-yard TD pass to a wide-open Jonathan Taylor.

Agree, but at least we know he agrees

Sounds like he questions the play call, but not the decision to go for it. He said it was a clear go per their analytics. Said he wanted to put the game away because he didn’t want to face Watson on a 2 pt conversion (which he expected if they scored a TD). He also said you have to count the 4th and 4 call that went for a TD. Basically they netted a point by being aggressive and you can’t just complain when they don’t make it.

I wasn’t saying the he knew. I am saying that he trusted the defense to get us the ball back, which they did.
