  1. Time management at end of half and end of game wasn’t great, which continues to be a theme. 
     

    End of half there was a play that was in bounds with around 50 seconds with all 3 timeouts and we don’t take a timeout we lose about 15-20 seconds. We end up 1st and goal with only 13 seconds left and I believe still 2 timeouts. This probably leaves us only 2 plays at the endzone, maybe a 3rd if go for it and drain the clock.
     

    End of game we are around the 50 with around 3- 3 1/2 minutes left and aren’t running the play clock down. Snapping the ball with 10-15 seconds left. it’s like we didn’t realize a field goal of wins the game until the last 3 plays.

  2. The reason this is even a topic, is because of the last 13 seconds. This loss is 100% on McDermott. You just can’t make those decision he made in those 13 seconds. It’s because of what he has done so far for the organization  that without a doubt he should be here again next year. 
     

    My point is, if he doesn’t learn and grow as an in game coach and we end up with a similar result where his decisions cost us another playoff game, I think we have to, At That Time,  at least consider a change.  
     

    If this game was his first game with questionable in game decisions, this also isn’t even a topic.

    Why again are noobs allowed to start threads to cause trouble?

    I am noob to posting yes. I have followed this board daily multiple times a day for a long time. 
     

    I never said fire McDermott. I simply wanted to start a discussion. Granted, I should have waited to start this topic as everyone’s emotions were all over the place. For that, yes I am a “noob”.
     

    Situational coaching is McDermott’s biggest flaw. If we don’t see improvement in this area and it again cost us a game in next years playoffs, do we do nothing and stay the course? 

     

    I would love nothing more than to see coach improve his game management, similar to his improvement on being too conservative, but…. if he doesn’t it’s something we at least have to debate about. 

  4. My issue.. what is the Steelers biggest strength, defensive line, maybe top 3. So why are we running empty sets that let their pass rushers know it’s gonna be a pass. 
     

    I also don’t recall a single screen pass. Isn’t that like football 101 when your o-line is getting beat up to run a screen pass to keep the pass rushers honest. 
     

    Where was they play action? I know we didn’t establish any sort of run game but Allen was money last year running play action. Another way to keep the pass rushers on their toes. 
     

    I just don’t get how you go into this game with this plan that plays right into the Steelers strengths.
