Good Teams Start with Competent Coaching

Let's get this straight.... McDermott's directive was to stall our own momentum after Allen throws two darts against a Cleveland "prevent defense" by huddling up, run 30 seconds off the clock,  and settling for the game tying 53 yard field goal on the foot of Stephen Hauschka?  I have always questioned McDermott's time management skills and this further underscores his inability to handle the clock during a big moment. 

 

Folks- this is the Dick Jauron conservative mentality all over again.  

 

How would a competent coach like Bellecheck and the Patriots have handled the last 1:44 left and 1 timeout left in the game?  In a much more efficient and organized manner, and would have won the game!  

Other Great HC also have Great QBs. BB has Brady a sure fire HOFer, Peyton has Drew Brees, and Andy Reid has Mahomes.  Now let’s be fair to McD he has Allen who Is raw and prone to the untimely turnover.. mind you 53 yards IMO is not the time play conservative but perhaps a few screens and or short passes get closer to a chip shot.

What is wrong with people?  It was 3rd and 4 and we didn't convert.  Making it 4th and 4.  You kick the FG.  

 

We didn't "play for the FG"!!! We HAD to kick it after not picking up a 3rd down conversion.  

 

Now, why did we huddle and take 30 seconds off the clock?  BECAUSE THATS THE RIGHT MOVE.  How many times have we left Tom Brady with 40 seconds on the clock before half or end of game, and they March right down the field for points.   In the modern NFL - the come back is DESIGNED INTO THE RULES!!!! 

 

That's why Cle was so easily able to score in the 4th.  It's SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!  BY DEAIGN!!

 

A good coach will run the clock down to near zero.  Scoring with 40-50 seconds on the clock is not good.  You need to score with 5-20 left.  And no timeouts for the other teams. 

 

Gosh haven't y'all learned anything watching the Patriots push out chit in for 20 years?
