If Lynch doesn't make it, I can live with that. This....this is unforgivable.
_____________
I agree whole (albeit broken...) heartedly.
If they can stop Marshawn & Russell's bread & butter read option, 3 times...
...with a MINUTE AND 5 SECONDS LEFT ON THE CLOCK...
I can live with it.
But this?
This is killing me...
There was absolutely no reason for an experienced coaching staff to, essentially, get the priorities all out of whack.
I mean, we all saw it,...basically they were all confused and started the dominoes falling by calling inexplicable timeouts after the two BIG PLAYS to the 49 and to the 5 because we couldn't get the plays called in time to snap the ball....???
Ultimately, this led to increased self-imposed pressure inside the 5, because we had just wasted our first two timeouts.
Next, chaos and confusion in the mind of Pete...
with personnel groupings, while trying to save a timeout, while trying to run the clock all the way down, while having two guys going in motion at once, trying to "waste a play so that they could stop the clock... and then, get the right personnel to run on 3rd & 4th downs..." , while thinking about "not wanting to score too soon for fear of leaving Brady reciprocating with under a minute left..."
...ALL WHILE COMMITTING THE ULTIMATE COACHING SIN... which was thinking of all of this weirdness before actually getting the winning points on the board.
Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid!
This level of stupidity is unfathomable...
...unforgivable...
First, go up 31-28, then, bring out the defense and let the chips fall where they may with under a minute left. Duh.
Our team fought like the legendary warriors they are...
and the coaching staff cost us the game with sheer idiocy under pressure. Simple as that.
They blew the 2-minute clock management...AGAIN.
...and they blew the playcalling inside the 5... by trying to get cute, instead of giving the ball to Marshawn...AGAIN.
Its unforgivable.
Our special players. Our special team. Our special season. Our special 12 fans hopes and dreams...
All, literally, thrown away in an instant..."trying to waste a play" before... running it for reals on 3rd and 4th downs.
To paraphrase Apollo Creed, "There is no (tomorrow) 3rd or 4th down Pete..."
RUN THE BALLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
