FWIW, I was yelling at the TV to go for the TD first. I agree with Bruce Arians... settling for the kick with downs in your pocket takes off the board 50% of your ways to win the game. But do I care now? Absolutely not. The fact the team overcame THAT and won should as equally be credited to coaching.
Yeah, he didnt want to risk a throw and after running for a loss he wasnt sure the Seahawks were going to give up anymore rushing yards. He went conservative.
Not suggesting that his method of getting to the left hash was the right way, but he 100% was trying to simply set up where Zane likes to kick from on the left hash and take the FG. What other reason do you have for that truly atrocious play happening where Kyler didn't even half way look like he was trying to make a play?
No idea but I think Murray has cleared this all up. I have told you all before that I met Kyler's family and they were VERY forward with how conservative Kliff's play calling is. Murray is about to outgrow these handcuffs
Here's to hoping that Kliff adjusts as it becomes more and more clear that Kyler can handle more responsibility.
Kliff did not ice his own kicker. The kick went up after DOG would have been called. Kliff has the courage to orchestrate at 48 second drive to tie the game on RUN plays. Any other coach would have tried it all through the air and would have lost the game. Their no huddle game made it possible. He gets credit for that
It seems we have a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde situation with our coaches at times. Still, this team suffered several back breaking moments in this game and didn't quit.
It’s not about the timeout. It’s about not going back to Chase when he was FEASTING on their sorry ass D.
Knit pick KK all you want but please just look back to 2018 for just a second. We are in the top 5 in just about every offensive category averaging about 30 ppg. We are 5-2 and just defeated perhaps the best team, certainly the best offense in the league. Of course there is room for improvement but this team is starting to blossom. This team loves KK. They played their collective guts out for him tonight and that alone is worth a thousand words.
Great, great win!!! Murray is such a competitor. Loved when he went off on our garbage TE’s. Max needs to get back ASAP. I blame KK for the slow starts on offense. Needs to be remedied ASAP.
Actually an assistant told Kliff or it would’ve been a delay. Just another game management error on his part, which he’s did repeatedly at Tech & numerous times here. Kyler & a few others bailed his butt out!
