I know when someone is coaching not to lose, I know when a coach stubbornly refuses to make changes when things aren't working, and I also know when clock management is being bungled.
You can say that I don't know what I'm talking about all you please, but many fans of this team, with zero coaching experience, would've found a way not to blow the 13 seconds game like McDermott did. A 14-year old with a healthy Madden habit would understand that there was no reason to kick the ball out of the endzone and no reason protect the sidelines and leave the middle of the field open when KC had three timeouts.
