How many of those did we have yesterday? Could not have been many, since the Texicans only punted once and had zero turnovers.

I understand there is such a thing as situational football and there are times that allowing the opponent to use long time consuming drives is a benefit. But, does Bradley understand how this works? I don't think so. If the defense suddenly is in a TOP deficit then IMO it's better to take some chances and get them off the field quickly, rather than let them die a slow death that they will never be able to fight back from.

For a former HC and experienced DC, he sure looks like a rookie out of his league.
