@SWinbun@JakeArthurNFL Steichen ran the ball up the middle to set up the kick rather than go for a first down, run out the clock, and attempt a more manageable field goal attempt. Did the same in seattle and it bit him again in the backside. He plays not to lose.
@JakeArthurNFL@bsfreecolts@Ab_Soulutely They lost too many games in the final minute. That is by design (unintentional though it may be). For example, how could the defense play lights out against Seattle all game and then collapse on the final drive. Saw that movie too often (5X) in losing streak.
@JJStankevitz If Steichen stays, tell him he needs to get an Offensive Coordinator and give up the OC reins. If not, then get a new Head Coach and make Steichen the OC. He is failing while doing both.
@JJStankevitz There’s a reason you lose 5 of last 7 in closing minute (the other 2 were lost in 3rd qtr). Steichen plays not to lose, then loses. There were games where defense (without Sauce, Buck, Moony) played “lights out,” only to fold on the final winning drive. That’s coaching.
@SleeperColts If the Colts’ defense plays 49ers like they played Seattle, the answer will be a resounding no. Not because of the injury, but because of the way they played against Seattle. If the 2ndary can play like they did without Sauce and Mooney, why was there such a need to get Sauce?
@SleeperColts First, answer this: how were the Colts able to shut down Seattle to no touchdowns without Gardner, Ward and Buckner? Someone convinced the front office that Gardner was vital to save the defense, which apparently was not the case. Who will answer for this decision?
