Well, The Bills had all three timeouts left. Texans had to make them use the timeouts and that is what the Texans did by not throwing incomplete passes. So it isn't the fact that the Texans ran the ball that is in question. It is the location of the runs that are at issue.
All 4 plays were up the middle. A run to the outside would have been nice, considering that the Bills were jamming the box. Getting Watson or Hyde outside on one of the 4 plays would have been better. Probably should have gone outside on the third down play.
Really, 4 plays up the middle into a stacked box was just dumb. And they had a third and two and had two plays to make two yards. They couldn't. The QB sneak was just dumb - and saying that a QB sneak is putting the ball in the hands of the "playmakers" is not true. Deshaun is not a freaking power back that is gonna bull his way through 300+ pound lineman in the gaps. At least one of those plays should have sent Deshaun outside.
Hey, it's all just opinions, and mine is that Cal needs to demand that Bill get a real OC that will tweak the offense to better suit the players strengths. But if you think BOB did the right thing by running 4 times up the middle, well, okay, I guess you are happy with BOBs scheme, but many of us are not.
