If BOB knew the rules, he'd have declined the penalty so that they'd have had the ball at the point where Gabbert caught it with a loss of down. He doesn't know the rules so he accepted the penalty and gave them 7 yards AND the down. It's just part of why BOB is the worst coach in the NFL.
Probably been years since that has happened so the rule hasn't been reviewed. Now look for it to change next off season due to the attention it will receive.
I have been a BOB supporter for a long time. I am officially off the wagon. You can't lose a game like this. You just can't. This is abysmal effort and discipline.
As soon as I saw those plays, I knew it would come back to haunt them. You don't play conservative in the 4th quarter and expect to win.
Explain why he should have taken the timeout? To get an extra play before the 2 minute warning and stop the clock after the next play.
They're about to lose because they can't stop Blaine Gabbert & the WildTitan offense and they commit dumbass penalty after dumbass penalty. Not a very good team John.
I would love to see Watson and the Texans win, but I kind of want to see how bad it will get for BOB and Mcnair.
