CDogg20 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 One of my favorite quotes great teams score before the half Wouldnt call us great but its a start in the right direction. Cant remember us doing that since I was a youngin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 The final play to the sideline to Holmes to make the kick much more kickable is definitely a play good teams make. Bad teams try the 58 or 59 yarder on the previous play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

But that was a terrific 46 second drive for a FG. That's the only quibble I had with that, but aside from that the drive was executed extremely well.

PromoTheRobot Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 You aren't wrong to save time outs to the end. Having two time outs with 20 seconds left is infinitely better than having 45 seconds and no time outs. Why? Because having time outs allows you to use the entire field instead of being forced to the sidelines to stop the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
