I get that players need to execute, but it was easily recognized that things were going badly while it was happening. McDermott needed to take a time out, get everyone settled and aware of the situation and devise a better game plan. KC had all the time in the world with timeouts considering they only needed about 40 yards for a legit FG try. I hope McD learned from this experience (like he did with the Hail Murray game) and is better prepared for it next time (like the Indy playoff game). I agree about the 110%. It was a monumental coaching failure. I'd say he didn't call time out because he didn't have a plan to go to do. That is, my sense is that it was a coaching failure, but not an in-game failure. It was a preparation failure, going all the way back to training camp. I think if McDermott has the right play or the right concept, he's smart enough to go to it. I think he wasn't prepared. I guarantee you, McDermott knows what went wrong. It would be interesting to hear him talk about it but, of course, he won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
