Will come back to the situation in Buffalo from today.

Why did Mike McCarthy wait :21 seconds to call time out after philly had 4th down and 4 with 1:05 left in the half. Inexcusable.

i've said it a million times........ middle school kids who play madden on ps3 are smarter than the average nfl coach when it clock management (and probably play calling too).

How about Buffalo taking a safety down 3 from their own one yard line with 1:30 left......I'll never understand that one.

They should have gone for it, but if not, at least onsides kick the ball, don't punt it away. They had a choice.

How about Lovie going for it on 4th and 1 with 8 minutes left down 1 and not kicking it.

They got lucky. Not because of the non-so-called catch (which was a TD), but that was an absolute terrible decision by Lovie, still can't believe it.

I couldn't believe with :40 seconds they didn't use the TO and were left with :18 after the play was over. Unreal.

Agreed.

The NFL is a business and sometimes it's run like a business. Which means the best person (or smartest) isn't always the one that gets the job. Lots of politics in play in naming a Head Coach.

the bears call is the worst so far... i couldn't believe that one. just blows me away that someone gets paid millions every year to make decisions and that is the best option in their minds.

LOL Add Wade to the list. Way to waste 14s. These coaches are morons. You must call timeout there.

Regardless of your opinion of if you like Lovie or think he can or can't coach. He is a complete idiot.

Pete Carroll welcome to the club.

Down 31-7, in the 4th quarter, Seattle scores and they don't go for 2?

Pete, WTF?
