Honestly, coaching was a mixed bag yesterday. Daboll called a GREAT first half until the brainfart draw to Gore. Same goes for the defensive game plan prior to halftime. McDermott also deserves credit for the way he handled the end of game situation with the first down spike with the punter. And I like how we brought pressure on the game deciding play - just didn't tackle.
The big shock to me was how we completely lost our composure (from the entire coaching staff, to the defense overpursuing and losing contain, to Tre White getting toasted, to Allen spontaneously losing 50 football IQ points, etc.) after that JJ Watt sack. We were completely dazed and confused for the next 20 minutes of game time and there was seemingly a lack of leadership in getting the guys refocused and composed. Only guy who looked solid was Hauschka.
I felt we were a pretty disciplined and emotionally steady team the entire season and just didn't expect to see us unravel like that. Goes to show the importance of playoff experience.
