I have one, exactly one playcalling question that has me scratching my head.
It was right before the first missed field goal.
We were 3rd and goal, but from the 15ish yard line.
We run a tunnel screen.
That play, if successful, is an 8 yard play. Especially in the red zone when you can't stretch DB's vertically. When you have 15 yards to gain, that play call doesn't make sense.
The only thing I can think of is Bobo thought were were in 4th down territory, so called a 3rd down play that would get us closer, to make it more 4th and Manageable as they say. Then on 4th, Kirby vetoe'd him and said no, let's just try for 3. That's the only way that 3rd down play call makes sense.
I post this concern, not to be a cvnt, but because I want to be educated. I want to learn.
The missed FG wasn't Bobo's fault, it was just a cherry on top of the turd sundae of a call he just made on 3rd down.
