Week 10 vs Texans

[The Human Q-Tip]

You’re literally arguing about stuff that has a minuscule chance of happening.

How mad are you about the timeouts the Browns called when the Texans had the ball before half? What if Myles got hurt?

What is the benefit of Chubb running it in?

The ultimate show of imposing your will in football

Yep. They knew we were going to run the ball from our own 4 yard line yet they couldn't stop us. We're starting to build an identity.

That was clearly a Jedi Mind Trick by Stefanski to be so liberal with his timeouts and loosen Romeo up to using his liberally in the second half. Worked like a charm. 3D chess.

It isn’t worth fighting over, because I’m just happy we won. But the way the goal posts move with these arguments is hilarious.

That's the whole point. As long as there is a chance of any of those things happening then you have to take that in consideration while judging the decision making.

It's not hindsight. It's risk assessment.

For the record, I think the two timeouts before half were dumb.

Cool thing about that play is that it isn't the right play if the Texans still have timeouts. Dq


What is the benefit of Chubb running it in?

What is the consequence of him running it in? Hypothetical possible injuries that could happen on any play?

Sure, we avoided some potentially negative stuff with him going out of bounds. We are splitting hairs like crazy though.

I don’t care that he didn’t score, but acting like he’s some genius for not doing it? That’s where I take issue with it.

 

[MirORich]

Just show how much we underachieved in the first three quarters. By that math, We should have run for 592 yards for the game.
So hard enjoying the win as a Browns fans

In not running the ball in, Chubb guaranteed a victory. Between two good scenarios, he chose the marginally better one. Was a good decision.

Matt Millen is such an awful talent evaluator.

He kept talking about how Hunt was faster and quicker.

Anyone who has watched this team this season, particularly w/ Chubb out, knows that between the two guys, there's only one big-play threat and it ain't Hunt.

Hunt is a really, really physical runner with great balance. He can't make the run Chubb just made to end the game though.

They can happen on any play and that’s the exact point. By eliminating a parallel reality where there where several full speed plays and just two kneel downs before the finite end of the game, he wiped out any possibly, no matter how remote, or injuries happening on the subsequent special teams kickoff and defensive plays that would have happened had he scored.

If you can seal the victory AND elminate further full speed plays, you have just done the smart thing for your team and teammates

Earlier in the game with the timeouts Stefanski used, even though it extended the number of full speed games possible in the game, there was always going to be a full half more.

Chubb’s decision was at a point in the game where he literally eliminated all future full speed plays for the rest of the game.

If he runs it in, like every other back in the league would have, there would be no difference in this discussion.

It is what it is, moving on.

 

[MGMT]

saw there was a rumor that Chubb spoke after the long run. Has anyone looked into that?

By this logic, why ever run the hurry-up offense? Just bleed the clock down, the more plays you run, the more likely someone could get hurt!

This isn’t worth arguing about. If Chubb runs it it, you’re celebrating that just the same.

I am cool with what he did, just trying not to act like it’s some sort of crazy great play. The TD I just as great.
