I like the aggressiveness he has going for it on 4th downs and he's been successful more often than not. Sucks when it doesn't work out but I'll take it over being too passive any day.
Him milking the clock down by 10 was atrocious. I don't know how you defend it.

I would defend it by saying we tied the game and then won it in overtime.

One thing I will give Kliff is that after the Carolina game, he has been using a lot more motion again.
Kicking a FG on second down when the opposition has 2 time outs was even worse. You can kneel down, whatever, you have to burn those time outs.
He saw Kyler get hit and turtled. If Simmons doesn't make an amazing pick Kliff is the biggest goat in this game by far.

Happenstance doesn't make it correct.

We were #1 in 4th down conversions don’t doubt that call you play aggressive against a good team not on your backfoot

The game would have been over if we made the FG as it was overtime and Seattle already had a possession.
The FG call in OT was absolutely the right call considering the above. Zane just can't miss a virtual XP.
Its not the right call on second down when the opposing team has two time outs became the odds of missing the FG are far greater than a poor exchange.
Further, he tried to get more yards and Kyler got hit and he immediately kicked it.
He changed his entire strategy, incorrectly, by one play. It was amateurist.

So instead, he had no play clock awareness on the game winning play?

Sure it does. It worked.

He didn't change his strategy. Kyler was literally only trying to get to the left hash for the FG. That's why that play looked so bad because that was his only intent.
Again the people arguing against this call would 100% be calling out KK if we run another play and a turnover happens.

Poor analogy.

The head coach needs to know the play clock on that play. He had to be reminded by an assistant.
Look I get it. But I have seen teams lose games like this, where the field goal wins it, because of interceptions and fumbles. It hurts even more than that missed field goal did. If we get the snap off in time it was a win right there.

Still have no idea how the players couldn't get into position faster though. The decision to kick came right away so the players should have hustled out there and got in position to snap it in time.
Why was it spite of him? Like someone said above, he had one or 2 stupid play calls, but why is this win not because of him?
