The throw to Henry was 3rd down. Screens can be effective on 3rd and long. There was a hole, Jonnu decided not to sprint at it 

Just feels like they are babying a bit too much….but hey, I’m just a schmuck on my couch lol

And yes, screens can be effective when mixed in. This is Josh McDaniels we are talking about here. He mixes it in all too often. And screens mixed in on third and long are usually under ten yards. Usually thrown to a more nimble or intelligent YAC guy too, like a WR or RB. The Patriots did it on third and extra, extra long with a tight end who lacks confidence. Poor decision, poor play call, and playing not to lose, (to protect a competent rookie QB no less), is how you fail to win.
