RPbillsfan Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 OMG, I'm watching the Lions at Bucs game and it looks like Lions head coach Matt Patricia hit the all you can eat buffet and skipped the salad bar. He and the Browns offensive line coach would make quite the pair. About 700 lbs of fun together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinceThe70s Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I'm more upset about what he didn't eat. He should've chowed down on Brady and Belichik when he had the chance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no idea why he’s looking the way he is. Obviously, the first guess is poor diet and insufficient exercise. Could very well be. But that’s just a guess. I know people who do almost everything right and still struggle. Smart people who try hard and still bust through 300#. Genetics are real.

co_springs_billsfan Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Depression is a real thing. People sometimes cope with it by overindulging. And being a part of the Detroit Lions has to be depressing. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) I don't know what he ate, but I think it made him woozy. He just went for two, while down 30-26 four minutes left in the 4th quarter. Why wouldn't you just take the point and stay w/in FG range? Am I missing something? Well, other than it's preseason. Which is a good enough reason, I suppose. But the announcers seemed to be trying to rationalize it in a strategic way. I think they were reaching.

Johnnycage46 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Probably reaching and giving the benefit of the doubt because he came from New England...which is ironic considering their coordinators haven't fared so well after leaving the friendly confines of have Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.

I'm not watching the game, but my first thought was just that - it's preseason, who cares. Then it occurred to me that preseason is the first time rookie coaches have to make these decisions in real time. Probably easier said than done.

Mickey Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I have invested heavily in the anti-chafing market. I'm in it for the long haul. "Put your money on obesity" is what I tell the young folks. America produces more cellulite per capita than the rest of the world, combined. "Thigh-Slick", "Grease the Crease" and "Oil the Boil" will soon be products hidden in every medicine cabinet in America. You're welcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all of us armchair QB/coaches take for granted that these decisions are made in real time and its easy for us to point out which ones they get wrong. (or right) There's got to be a learning curve for a head coach and preseason is the first time they actually have to make real time decisions. The more reps they get, the better they'll be at it.

Then it occurred to me that preseason is the first time rookie coaches have to make these decisions in real time. Probably easier said than done. The thing is good coaches should not and do not make those kinds of decisions in real time. 4 minutes left down by 4 is a common scenario. The coach and the team should be prepared for exactly what they are going to do in that particular situation. If they are calling a time out to discuss or "winging it" then they are doing it wrong.

Sometimes specific circumstances may require you reconsider one's common sense answer, but for the most part I think you are correct about this. In this case the XP was the obvious/automatic choice. Going for two would have been a "special circumstance" type of gameday decision (kicker hurt, for example). Again, I will accept it was done to get the preseason rep. But with over four minutes left in the game, I cannot accept it was done simply to avoid the tie. And I completely reject the argument it was good strategy, if one was actually trying to win the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
