Einstein

I would be happy to accept but the line between ‘explain’ and ‘defend’ is so thin. Im sure he’ll explain it. But I doubt he ever does it again in that situation. One thing i’ll say about McD is that he tends to learn from mistakes.

Go Chargers.

A minute of clock wasted with 4 minutes left is literally 25% of the game remaining! Maybe in a different game where the defense was playing well. Not in a game where the defense was getting gashed and it was more probable than not that they get gashed on the next play. I don’t think that even McD would defend the decision right now.

You quoted someone who was agreeing with me and laughing at McD. There was no time to return because they were going to punt the ball out of bounds, or out of the back of the endzone, and the hang-time would be 6 seconds alone.

There may be logic to accepting the penalty in a different game where the defense was playing well and we had more time. There was no logic in accepting the penalty in a game where the defense was getting gashed and we were running out of time.

ah, that’s right - McD is an offensive coach forgot

Dude played out of his mind.

The answer is right in your post. They burned nearly ANOTHER FULL MINUTE off the clock by accepting that penalty. So we gave them an extra yard AND a gift of burning a minute. It was a lose-lose!

Listen, I don’t care about losing this particular game. I wanted to win of course, and put pressure on KC tonight, but we already punched our playoff ticket and will be at worst the 3 seed in my opinion. The issue I have has nothing to do with this particular game. The issue is that this game shows that our coaching staff still sucks at late game decision making. And that’s a fundamental flaw that can hurt us long after this game. Thats what I care about.

Exactly. It was a “trick”. Then the receiver motions to behind him.

They hadn’t stopped the Rams all game. The Head Coach should know that. It was a given that they were either converting it or getting a lot of yards. Not to mention the time waste.

No it was a run the whole time. They had their heavy formation out there. Run should never have been an option in that situation.

You can’t grab even near the LOS. You can make contact within 5 yards, but you can’t restrict movement.

Joe Brady is an enigma. He scores a ton of points but makes idiotic decisions too.

How is this not a penalty? Our DB is being assaulted while the ball is STILL IN THE AIR

Accepting that penalty was mind boggling dumb. Your defense couldn’t stop them all game and you turn down 4th and 7 so they can take more time off the clock!? What!???

So many bad coaching calls. Two to start. 1) A QB sneak when you can’t burn a timeout?!?!? Really Joe!? 2) Having a returner on that last punt? Put everyone on the line to rush and block! You aren’t gonna have enough time to return a punt. 3) Declining 4th and 7, thus taking more time off the clock!? Make it make sense!! There are so many more too.

I can’t believe this still happens

In all seriousness, how can you even think of running a QB sneak when you know you need to save your timeouts? Just why? Put Allen in the shotgun and let him run if he wants or throw it away.

Joe Brady might be mentally challenged.

Alright Josh, that one was on you. Just run that brother.

The ball is literally in the air…

Taron bit so hard on that

It was OPI for sure. Rams got a lot of ref love today. Multiple times gifted first downs on penalty.
