His defense had Schuab on lockdown all day, but I guess he figures that if the Titans get move the chains Houston will use their remaining 2 TO's and their would be an additional play. Their most likely would have been 40 seconds left with a 25-30 yard field goal.

If that were truly his thought process, and he liked his chances with his defense on the field, then he would have punted instead of going for it.

Fisher said that it was way out of Biromas' range. Take it for what it's worth.

Then he's even more of an idiot than I thought before. Bironas had already hit from 51 in the same game (and there were several yards to spare on that kick), and 2 years ago he hit from 60 yards in much worse conditions than the game today was being played in.

wind was with him on that 60 yarder was it not?

Once again, I can vent about Ike. If he hadn't hit, we'd be 13-1 right now.

But in all seriousness, if Biromas tells the coach he can't hit it, you really can't attempt it. I would have went with a different playcall though.

Probably just a lame excuse for making that stupid call. It was 49-yards... not 55... the wind wasn't making that much of a difference.

Then like I said before, he should have punted the ball if BiroNas didn't think he could hit the FG. Fourth and 3 is essentially the same as a 2-pt conversion, and the league average on those is pretty close to 50/50 I think

maybe, but it was pretty cold that day, and he was kicking out of the mud/dirt area in what was left of the middle of the Titans field. There was much better footing on that new sod today in Houston.

i had heard though that it had rained into reliant for a good part of that game, and that field is not designed to drain water...so that sod could not have been in great condition

Bironas was on the field ready to go as the cameras came back from commercial and then you saw the offense running onto the field. So, Bironas obviously thought he could hit it because he was on the field.

Yeah, I'm not really buying into the whole wind thing. That stadium is completely enclosed. I know the roof was open today, but still it's not like the Titans stadium where the endzones are totally open and the wind can really alter a kick since it comes in at about the same level as the field.

It was a stupid call and Fisher needs to own up and admit it. If this team doesn't get home-field then you can put it squarely on his shoulders.

Yeah I saw that too. Fisher is just using that crap as a scape goat. He knows the season is lost.

maybe, but I didn't really notice any players having trouble with their footing during the game. were they going the same direction in the 4th as when he hit the 51 yarder earlier in the game? i can't remember. If so, then the decision is even more indefensible.

the 51 yarder was in the 3rd quarter. So that last attempt in the 4th would have been in the opposite direction
