These playoffs had the worst coaching decision ever? Maybe but not our own

[Risen Star]

After a week of the sports world mocking Mike McCarthy and his weight problem over a QB draw that should have accomplished it's goal of leaving time on the clock for one prayer to the end zone at the 25 with a bad QB, I fail to see this same level of scorn for a head coach who truly eliminated his own team yesterday.

How do the Buffalo Bills not squib kick after going up by 3 with 13 seconds to play? How does the alleged top tier head coach Sean McDermott not tell his ST Coach that's what's happening? It would have at the very least taken enough time off the clock to prevent a 3rd play for the Chiefs and very well might have done more than that.

Yes the defense should hold regardless but this was an egregious error that needlessly gave the Chiefs an opportunity to win the game.

Where's the outrage? Where's the mockery? Cmon, he could be thinner.

Notice the difference in how these two are treated. Zero respect for our own and he's accomplished more than McDermott ever has.

So when they talk about the 2021 season playoffs and the worst call they've ever seen from a head coach I won't be thinking some QB draw that really didn't decide the game since the QB wasn't making that throw if he had another play. I'll be thinking about those Buffalo Bills handing the Chiefs a chance when it was completely unnecessary and avoidable.

Fat Mike 4 Life.

I saw and read a lot of people criticizing it even Romo live on air . It was a terrible decision.

I thought about the squib kick too but what happens if it goes off his bad and chili dips it out of bounds? I think they felt the safer route was kicking out of the back of endzone. Who thinks that 13 seconds is enough to get into field goal range? If anything, he needed to understand who gassed that D was and call plays that lent to the strength of D. I am not sure that the ultra prevent defense was the way to go. I am biased because I hate prevent defense anyway.

Still you have to give credit to Josh and Mahomes. Even though both D's had let downs, those two QB's took advantage of what was in front of them.

Honestly I think the defense on the second play was worse. There are 8 seconds left from the 43 and you rush 4. Why? Rush 2 at most because either the ball is out in 2 seconds or it is the last play of the game. If you did not rush 4 you could have had 2 people on Kelce, one underneath and one over the top and that play cannot happen. Instead they play this soft coverage that lets Kelce be 1 on 1 and get an easy reception. Just awful situational football.

I fully agree that the squib kick would have been the smart decision. However, if that kick turns into a 50 yard gain, then people would be second guessing that decision.

I personally have more issues with the way they defended the chiefs - even after calling multiple timeouts than I do about the kickoff. But again, I agree that a squib kick would have been the right call.

There were actually quite a few bone headed decisions from the HC's this weekend.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Pete Carroll once tried to throw a cheeky slant from the one yard line.

 

[Reid1boys]

Horrible decision. I didn't need Romo to tell me that. Before the kick I said they need one of those high diet kicks to the 5 yard line. Only 13 seconds.... they would have fans 2 to 4 seconds off the clock. Horrible decision.

It was an amazing game.

And can you believe that the Rams as the 4 seed are now hosting the NFC title game? Smh

We would have won the Super Bowl had we gotten past the 49ers. That much is obvious.

It takes away a big return which at the time probably seemed more likely than completing two big passes in 13 seconds. I would have squibbed it down inside the ten but I'm just some guy who watched the game.

Yeah I'll take my chances with their return game over Patrick Mahomes and that offense.

If they squib kick they win the game.

Should be a classic Rams vs Niners with both D’s teeing off. Jimmy G sure to throw a pick, and Stafford should have had at least one .

That said I don’t think either of these teams will stop Chiefs. They look like they are destined for a W..... Hard to realize that Mahomes will be in his 4th consecutive championship game.

Andy Reid doesn’t get the credit he deserves. He lead Philly to several championship games, and now doing the same in the AFC....

Reid is awesome. And I don’t see KC losing as well. But stranger things have happened.

Was just gonna say....I saw quite a bit of questionable decisions.

Great football weekend though....considering how depressed I was watching it.....it really was some good football and I'm glad I watched instead of ignoring it the way I usually do after the annual Jerry ego show letdown.

I still watch the games after our annual boot from playoff contention or the playoffs. But may not pay 100% attention to the games.

However, I have so more this year since the Bengals are still alive.

It’s simple. Mocking the Cowboys sells. People love if.

Hell, think of all the fans on this site that love it.

Yeah I'm uncomfortable sharing you w them but it is what it is lol.

I know youre from there or used to live there or something.

You probably never have to worry about a Cowboys/Bengals Super Bowl lol.

What would be amazing is if it's SF/Cin that would have been their opponent all three times they made it. Amazing coincidence.

Not sure they have enough with the momentum KC has but they remind me of the 91 Cowboys quite a bit. Next year they kick in the door.

Not likely to happen but a Bengals/9ers rematch would be great with Bengals winning the crown...
