When is the last time we had a coach with the confidence to get points with under a minute to go?

Thank you Coach And offense....it's about freaking time!

I think he learned from his own mistake last week. That's a good sign rather than the repeating of mistakes that we've grown accustomed to.

McD wasted 15 seconds before calling timeout when the Broncos had the ball and we would have had a minute instead of 46 seconds. But that was a terrific 46 second drive for a FG.

As was said in the game thread... don't think he was gonna call one at all. He called it cos his D looked gassed.

Well he should have called it immediately anyway. We had three timeouts. They had second or third and long. It was close enough, like the 15, so they couldn't get more than one first down (meaning if they picked it up we weren't giving them extra time to score they would need.

I agree. I think he actually got a bit lucky cos had the D not been gassed not sure there is time for us to respond. I am just saying I think McD's thinking at the ime was predicated on defensive game plan rather than clock.

Then he's lucky he didn't waste more than 15 seconds. ;)

 

Other than that I thought he coached a very good game. For only his third game ever as a head coach he really has his team ready. They don't make a lot of dumb mistakes. Both offense and defense gets their calls in quick. The special teams for the most part have been good except for the returns. McDermott deserves a lot of credit. Frazier, too. Jury is still out on Dennison.

You are right. He dogged that play.
