I was ok with the fg to go up 13. Makes them score 2 tds.

the fact that they didn't try to go for the throat and put the game away with a TD that would have made it a 3 score game is awful. Winning coaches try to score a TD anytime their offense has the ball. losers try to run out clock or play for field position or kick field goals to "extend" leads.

After all the things, and refusing to give other QBs an entire game earlier, this one is the most concerning.  This type of strategy is death.  Hopefully they learn.

Playing a defensive zone was just as bad if not worse. Why the hell change it up when we had shut down their last three drives?

couldn't agree more. You know what they say about prevent defense.

just terrible coaching last 4 minutes. didn't even try to get a first down after they scored. ran 3 times into a stacked box. 1st down almost ices the game.

gave the ball back to them with plenty of time and then ran the same prevent defense that just allowed them to score in less than 2 minutes.

only time they tried to pressure was at the goal line when you don't need a lot of time for a play to develop.

I hope they learn from this. Quote in the paper had him blaming it on execution which wasn't the problem. It was coach's decisions that cost us the game.

So the lack of a throw downfield during the fg drive is what you're basing the "loser" mentality on?

Dabo should be gone based on that after last night's game.  Horrible play calling and clock management with 2 minutes to go.  But for some reason he'll get a pass but our guy should be fired.  (the firing part not directed at you).

no the fact that they get conservative when they get into the red zone with a lead. then they come out and can ice the game with a first down and they run it into a stacked box 3 times. didn't even run a minute off the clock.

I hope they learn from this. I think Scott can have success here. I hate it when coaches get conservative just trying to run clock or play field position football. It's like they are coaching not to lose.

He had multiple chances to put that game away and he didn't take the chance to do it.

Go for a TD gives you a 3 score lead. Kicking the FG still keeps it at 2 scores.

Rushing more than 3 makes them get the ball out faster. Letting them sit back and wait for a man to come open allows them to get chunk yards. sure you don't give up the big play but it let them drive the field for a TD in under 90 seconds. not once but twice!

Running into a stacked box 3 straight times is basically giving them the ball back without even attempting to get a first down to ice the game.

Coaching not to lose  bothers me.

They never kicked a fg from inside the red zone ....
