The Defence, The Offence and The Clutching Defeat from the Jaws of Victory

The playcall was good, Huntley shanked the shit out of it. Put that ball on the pylon and that’s 6

Yeah, the edge rusher got in the lane at the last second. I think Tyler was frozen as to how to place the pass and he short armed it.

That’s blatant

and he was blocked in the back trying to make the tackle. Penalty should have been called, but of course it wasn't.

Ordinarily I'd say who the fuck cares the damage was done of the fumble and then getting all the way down. But with how well the defense was playing, a block and the back could have led to a 4 point swing. Meaning we could have tied in regulation with a JT FG instead of needing the TD. Rough!

I don’t know why so many of you are so upset. We were actually in position to win that game up until the end. I didn’t expect that. The INT and fumble 6 was the back breaker but they didn’t quit. Our defense kept us in the game. Cigar boy only had 209 yards passing with 1 TD, Chase had under a 100, and Mixon only had 39 yards rushing. And actually Huntley had more passing yards then cigar boy (226).

If we only had a real offense, or maybe a real OC we would be heading to KC.

Roman called a good game though. Saved his best for last.
 
I hear what everyone says about John Harbaugh. Honestly, I think he has done a good job for us. But there are a few things that bother me enough, that I think it's time to say sayunarah. And it's nothing new, it's things that he's been criticized for before.

You can't really argue away the clock management yesterday at the end of the game. If you are going to be aggressive, stop the clock and get a play in that the players can prepare for... especially the 2nd string QB who looked in that last series like he had developed the shakes. There was no urgency to get to the line, so the clock was used as if it was a silent TO. To me that's just a waste. It didn't really matter if we scored in one play and gave the ball back to them, the DEF had been great - and earlier in the year the argument from some on here about going for it on 4th and 1 or 2 was fine, that if it fails you have to expect that your DEF can hold them. It seems like circular logic from some. I say take the TO's and have guys set and ready.

The other thing that rubs me wrong is the presser yesterday and him specifying Huntley was supposed to go low. There was nothing there either, btw, but ok.... Why say it? I take that as throwing Huntley under the bus. Sorry, but I do. He didn't need to point that out. Did it slip? Did he respond in the fog/heat of the moment, maybe. Who knows. That knowledge in that situation didn't need to be divulged. I don't think it was an accident tho. I don't know that he said it with purpose, but by saying it, the result is - for the moment - it takes responsibility off of him and his OC. I just don't think you call out a player like that. Maybe in private after a game or in the film room with the team, but not in a presser after what sure seemed was an upset in the making.

Which leads me to the last thing - he talks too much. In trying to address things - Lamar's injury, etc. - it's like he's trying to be nice by explaining but that it instead blows up on him. About Lamar, just say, he's injured, he'll play when he's available, then button your lip. About the leap attempt, we were really confident that play was going to work. Instead, shade on Huntley.

I'm ready for a change in both HC and OC, especially if the decision is to give Lamar a historic contract. I admire Dobbins for speaking up about his use, but I think that too is a remark against confidence in the HC. What has happened in the last month is eerily reminiscent of the last days of Brian Billick.
