Why did we run 4 plays before half with 3 timeouts??

I just caught the game at that point, in a bar with no sound. We had the ball, got a first down running so had some breathing room, ball over the 20. Then we ran four times in a row.

Stidham was obviously very annoyed, as was the whole team, had his passing sucked that bad at that point that gus did not want to even attempt to make it competitive.

Not judging, just curious...

Because Gus knew what he was doing according to some people.

Given the situation it was the right decision.

Because when you're on the road an underdog against your biggest rival, who is undefeated,and you're within one possession, the best possible decision is to play passive and conservative.

I was assured by the smartest Gus-tard Fellators around that that was the smartest thing to do at that point.

Because taking a chance was risky! RISKY! RISKY!

Gus decided that playing it careful while also pulling out every trick in the play book was the best plan. It was obviously a leave everything on the field, nothing to lose type of game, but he only halfway dived into that. It says more about his distrust in Stidham than anything though.

I'm not sure, but if you'll go to the game thread, there's 35 pages of beatbammer arguing with someone else about it
