[The Q]

As good as they are Lamar can’t have a clunker

They need to slam the ball with Henry almost no matter what.

Especially against Buffalo.

KC would require more balance.

Not going for the win there like you have anything to lose was really bad. Toledo continues to act classless though

I mean you are on the 1 and can win the game but you choose to tie it and then line up on the 2? Makes no sense.

Chicago Bears clock management is worse than a bad high school team

Fitting for that horrendous game tho

Just in the games that I've watched...there have been at least 3 games where they had a real good chance to win but couldn't manage the clock.

Different coaches too!

I can appreciate his decision as maybe not what he signed up for but boo hoo.....something coaches have been able to do for years.

He’s been coaching 50 years it was time

When it comes to Xs/Os, playcalling, etc. I do often find myself thinking they know more than we do.

Clock management? definitely not always the case. Hell, even Andy Reid was known for a long time as being terrible with clock management. Probably still is but that Mahomes fellow bails him out.

I hear ya...but no NIL or transfer portal likely not time for him yet.

And they pay buyouts

The players paid by sitting out a year

Fair trade

They definitely talk themselves into a dumb play calls because the other team wasn’t expecting it

But yeah when it come to x & o they do know more

Reid got a rap for clock management for the sb he gave away to NE and because he trusted mcnabb as a passer more than he should’ve in obvious run situations

Often coaches do get a bad rap for play calling when fans only know the result of the play. Perfect example was I think our last game (maybe the one prior) was a 4th and 1 and a pass was called. QB threw deep and incomplete. But the call worked as he had a guy wide open short for a first down....the execution failed which is usually the case.

There was a game during championship week where the school ran student body left on 3rd and 9

It’s a terrible call, especially since the qb wasn’t THAT fast

That’s the kind of shit I’m talking about

Even an option play there would’ve made sense

But sometimes they call the absolute last thing they should

It’s like the internal dialogue is

“Only an idiot would call that in this situation….so they’ll never see it coming…”

Imo, the transfer portal needs some regulation. Seems like some players are entering every year. We have players entering the portal in the middle of the season, during bowl season and now 8 players leaving a final 4 team.

I get that coaches can leave for bigger programs and more money...but coaches aren't doing that every year...at least not head coaches.

Imo, in football for example, the transfer portal should open for about a month after the cfp championship game and for about a month after spring practice. Maybe allow some players to enter outside of those windows if something happens like the HC leaving or getting fired.
