An absolute disaster by the coaches at the end of this game

[Success]

Accepting the penalty on the Rams drive.

 

Then, calling TIME OUT.  Could have rushed to the line there & still been able to stop the clock.  That ended the game.  Dumb, dumb, dumb.

 

[Process]

1. Declining the penalty on 3rd and 7 was clearly the correct move YOU NEED A TD TD WIN NO MATTER WHAT. Would have been 4th and 7 vs 4th and 5. Would they have kicked the FG with 7 yards needed instead of 5? Who knows., but the decision was wrong regardless. 

 

and somehow this next one is  10000x worse. 

 

2. You can not, under any circumstance. call a TO after the  QB sneak. Sneaking it is dumb, but if you are going to do it you tell the guys if they stop it you hurry up, spend 10 seconds getting back to the line, and run it again. The second Sean called TO the game was over. 

[Success]

The time out is inexcusable.  Amateur move.  How do you now understand that situation?

 

I've been a McD supporter. But that's horrific.

 

[FireChans]

Time out is fireable.

[Andrew Son]

Not only that but they doubled up the the sneak again!

 

[Yobogoya!]

Maybe we can add a few more coach advisors to go with our challenge expert upstairs to help McDermott out. 
 

Although the challenge expert hasn’t helped much lol

 idiotic.

I thought he has a game advisor? Wouldn't the advisor tell him that?

Anyone who disagrees with this is related to McDermott

😂😂😂😂😂

 

 

Incredible stuff. All of a sudden McD is literally Hitler 

[Jester]

The last minutes of this game (after all they went through to get back) is unbelievable. And not in a good way. Unreal. 🤬

[nedboy7]

How does that pile get up in time to run another play.  The call was idiotic.  Was that on JA or OC? 

[Sojourner]

People will say that they’ll still attempt the 4th & 7 and while that may be correct you save time on top of it. 
 

Personally, I’m with you, the right call was to decline. 
 

The play call and not the timeout were the problem. Both make it a monumental failing by the coaching staff on all fronts. 
 

Oddly, that’s a common theme in close games. 
 

I like Sean and think he is a great coach which makes these moments even more infuriating because he has the logic and capacity to do exponentially better.

I prefer a REAL coach like Rex Ryan 

[RichRiderBills]

Blew the game....but blew the game more on defense. Needed 2 stops in this whole game to win only got 1.

They don't trust the run game

 

We were in 2nd and long all day today

 

Can't live that way

[DuckyBoys]

Joe Brady has to know pass it in 

[GunnerBill]

Yep. First decision was wrong but I can at least understand what the other side of it was and it might not have mattered. 

 

The second decision was idiotic. It basically made the game that one play when you didn't need to. You could go 2nd and 1 pass, 3rd and 1 pass, 4th and 1 kick the FG if you needed to and the game still be alive. What you could not do under any circumstances is call time out. 

 

They'd have even been better if they were going to try the sneak rushing back to lineup, keep the timeout, snap it and chuck it oob then kick. 

 

The one thing you could not do there was use your time out. Once you did it was game over.
