True, I'm sure he had his reasons. Yet DW4 is what he his.
Yep, BOB threw caution to the wind and let Watson do what he does best.
The risk of injury is great but hopefully he holds up.

Lol at all you OB fan boys in here.
No BOB fanboy here but BOB didn't cost his team that game.
For those wondering about the intentional safety - it’s been done before and executed correctly. By who - Tom Brady and the Patriots.

Actually I thought it was decent tactic.Similar, although in that case they were only down 3 after the safety.
Tactic was fineActually I thought it was decent tactic.
If we could have gotten the ball back quick and score we tie the game.
Give them the ball back with good field position from the 5 and they likely score so he did give us a chance - turns out if Keke had caught the ball it extends the drive with good chance to score so I was good with the idea.

From what I remember, if Coutee had caught the dang ball we had a chance to score.Tactic was fine
execution WTF???
You let the clock tick down. Then waste a timeout. Then the punter wasted a few seconds going side ways
Heard radio say you could have taken the delay of game and saved the timeout
From what I remember, if Coutee had caught the dang ball we had a chance to score.
There was enough time on the clock for several plays if done right.
But this team doesn't do right in these situations.From what I remember, if Coutee had caught the dang ball we had a chance to score.

Idiot=OBIt is one of those plays that make you look smart if everything goes according to plan, but a real idiot if it doesn’t.
Sure there is a chance OB muffs it up but it also only takes one play to score and their D was tiring and a big play by Coutee right there would have our O fired up.But this team doesn't do right in these situations.
Imagine the Pat's in that situation. Lol
Texans did total opposite.
Again the logic was solid but obviously no one thought of it till the last second. Then it got all muddy.
Oh well. I should expect these things but the never cease to suprise me.
Heard radio say you could have
Taking the safety was the right call.
Calling a TO to make the decision was shameful and makes BOB look like he's in over his head.
Im done with Fuller man. Your best ability is availability and that dude is a walking injury waiting to happen. Cut strings whenever possible.

As it turned out, the tactic did work. It only broke down on the interception.I cannot understand people saying making it a 7 point game is a good idea. You are then just hoping to tie and send it to ot. It's terrible

Iow, it accomplished its intended purpose to give us a shot.
Bad hands and always hurt. Love the guy when he is on the field, but dang, we need tougher players.Most consistent player on the team holding up to his annual tradition.
I agree with everything else. But this... gotta take the timeout to tell the punter to take the penalty.
I mean Angerer doesn't know. He was told to go out there & kick the ball.
The problem was developing this strategy 35 seconds into the play clock.
You are missing the point.It worked if the goal is to be down 7 and get the ball back. They should have tried to get the ball back down 5
If you punt from the back of the end zone, Indy gets the ball near midfield and only needs 15 yards or so to go up 8. Now you need a TD and 2 to tie.It worked if the goal is to be down 7 and get the ball back. They should have tried to get the ball back down 5

Taking the safety at least backs up the Colts deep, you still need a TD, but just the kick to tie. Yes, I know that hasn’t been a given but still.
So no problem at all with that strategy. The problem was wasting all that time on the clock, then burning a timeout, then having Anger dance around for another 3 seconds before stepping out. WTF??!
The in game thought process is just so slow, and it’s why they always look like there’s no urgency.
If you just had to burn a TO, you could have done it 34 seconds earlier. Or you could have had that contingency already in the pipeline with, oh, I don’t know, better preparation maybe?
You also could have snapped the ball right out of the end zone and the plays is over in a second.
Now, it ended up not mattering anyway, and it’s not why they lost the game, but it’s just another example of time management, in game management, play design, that just seems really difficult for this coach.
in lieu of .. oh I dont know .. TAKE THE DAMN DELAY OF GAME PENALTY AND OHHHHH NOOOOO KICK FROM THE 3 INSTEAD OF THE 6??????
Why would Angerer take a delay of game penalty? He's going out there to punt. He has no communication with O'Brien when BO'b starts running down the field.
He doesn't know Bill just devised a new master plan.
No, they're beyond that already. Someone posted an article saying they have found a loophole in the rulebook to burn a minute and some change off the clock by rejecting penalties.Let me ask you this, do you think New England would have wasted a timeout in that exact situation? Do you think THAT coaching staff has gone over the probability, and the contingencies associated with such an outcome?
Because proponents of situational football would tell you that you should cover any possibility on any given play?

What are these guys too busy to come up with a cool hand signal like, maybe swinging your arms around like a madman would signify "dont punt" .. "kneel" - "dont take a timeout" etc.... are there still things that happen in the NFL that have never happened? thus giving this coaching staff yet another excuse for why it was ok to mismanage time and timeouts?
We practiced those situations not only in HS but in college also, it falls on the shoulders of the special teams coach firstly, but at the end of the day its O'Briens responsibility to have the team as a whole ready.

So its just that the punter only has one job, he doesnt have to have field awareness, just shut up and punt. Alrighty then. I appreciate the sarcasm, but my funny bone with this team is broken.
We’re doomed.The nfl needs JJ to win a ring. Our situations looking good come playoffs. The refs will help us. All ob has to do is coach normal
NFL owes JJ nothing. Tragedy and triumph sell.The nfl needs JJ to win a ring. Our situations looking good come playoffs. The refs will help us. All ob has to do is coach normal

Is there any team in the league scrambling for players and spending the future like the Texans are?The Texans worked out three long snappers on Tuesday. They worked out Andrew DePaola, Wes Farnsworth and Matt Overton. The Texans also worked out former Rice and San Francisco 49ers running back Austin Walter, running back Darius Jackson, wide receivers J.J. Nelson and Eli Rogers and cornerback E.J. Gaines.
I disagree. This stupid take the timeout just to instruct the kicker to take the safety idea was all O’Brien. Anger was going to punt it away and let the defense handle it. Had he done so, we would have had about 30 seconds more left on the clock.Because proponents of situational football would tell you that you should cover any possibility on any given play?

I'm beginning to think the Cal may have finally given OB an ultimatum.
Great post.I agree, go back and listen to the press conference when Gaine was fired. BOB said Cal made it very clear what he areas he needed to improve.
I might be in the minority but I have no issue with the trades, signings, and players we’ve added. I love the draft as much as anyone but we’ve added some really good players and they’re young. I’d be pissed if we traded premium picks for guys in their mid 30s. I love Tunsil and Stills and what they bring to the team. I really like Hyde and Johnson (I’d still look to add another RB in the next draft). I love the potential CB group of Roby, Conley, Johnson and Joseph. As a long time Raider fan ( they’re my other team) I was happy we added Conley, I think he’ll fit our defense really well, and he’s young.
I didn’t like the way the Clowney situation was handled and I think Martin was over paid (though he has played well this year - so far), but overall the FOS has done a pretty good job
Stills is meant to be that exact guy isn't he?Is Mitchell the speed guy we need to step up while Fuller is out?
Fuller turns the offense up to 11, without him it’s so ho-hum
