Previous seasons I would have fully expected to see us do a pooch punt, leave it on the defense and watch the Cowboys get easily within range for their long leg kicker.

Matt Eberflus is a terrible coach. How many games did he lose for Chicago with bad calls/strategy?

Which is weird because he was a pretty good coordinator for Indy

These types of gutsy play calls and trust in his players is what he needs to show to improve as a HC. That 4th down conversion is very similar to the close games played last year where Theilan would come in clutch for Bryce. Bryce lost his security blanket during the first couple of games this year, hopefully he finds his security in Renfrow.

Tremayne? I guess then?  Horn does presently seem to be super schemed up right now so maybe Renfrow can survive a little longer?

I honestly can't remember if Tremayne is hurt or not. If he isn't, then we are running 6 receivers.

Horn is the gadget type receiver you want to see out there maybe 5-10 plays a game

Coachspeak is great, big what else were they going to do in that situation?

Yep, going for it was the only option.  To punt was to play not to lose (aka Fox/Rivera ball).

He was out there today.   I mean Horn lead WRs with just 30 yards today.  Just wasn’t needed.  At this point, with Coker coming back…..we shortly could get into a convo of XL or Tremayne down the road.  XL just ain’t it.

It is nice to have offensive weapons that I've been told we didn't actually have.

And our staff is actually developing them.

Hell, possibly even earlier this year. He got roasted, both by the public and probably internally as well, for some pretty cowardly playcalling and perhaps took some lessons from that.

This was his 23rd game as HC and play caller and the place was completely dysfunctional. 
He was last picked, after no one else would take the job. 

He for sure had a lot to learn and still does. But we should have some perspective on it. He was not likely to come out smoking. 
The team is improving. I think people ought to let the season play out.
