This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I've criticized him numerous times by jt
I didn't like his play calling at times, especially late in regulation, and I've said so.
This argument is just more silly analytics bullshit. I wouldn't "kill" any coach for that decision, especially given the game situation and his defensive coordinator vs their play caller and head coach.
The criticism lies with the play calls at the beginning of the third quarter, after the two minute warning, the decision to hire Steve Wilks, and the playcalling on second down in the overtime near the goal line. Those are reasonable. I'm not going to second guess a guy for taking the ball when his defense is exhausted, outmanned, and outcoached and has spent a ton of time on the field (and likely should have lost in regulation).
