Looking at the NFL this year has been tough in a sense. What I mean is I have witness some good football, then watch as coaches put their teams in bad positions.
To me a coaches primary responsibility is to get their team prepared for the upcoming team. Once that is accomplished, it's their responsibilty to put their teams in position to win ball games and not cost them 2-3 games a season with their play calling.
Now last night on Monday night football, we saw as the an Diego Chargers went into halftime with a commanding 24 point lead against the Denver Broncos. Now as a coach, you know adjustments have to be made at halftime.
Down by 24 points at the half, Denver had no choice but to get aggresive on both sides of the ball. The Chargers coaching staff should know this. Instead of working with the clock and just move the ball for first downs with run plays and passes, coaches just continued to let Rivers get hammered and cough up the ball. Even if you don't get but 2 first downs a series, keeping that clock ticking in the second half means less possessions for the Broncos.Points off turnovers in the second half is the coaches fault, even though it was Rivers who coughed it up.
Last monday night, we saw how the Jets coaching staff were calling all their time outs in the game against the Texans because they could not get the right personnel in the game. After Tebow runs one play, they have to call time out because of switching quarterbacks. This happened twice during the game. Not one of these quarterbacks were able to get in a groove because of the switching. Not only were they not controlling the clock, their play calling was just ridiculous. All those trick plays were just not necessary.
After the Jets score and bring the team within 6 points with 6 minutes to go, the dam coach calls an onside kick. The Texans recover with a short field and seals the game with a field goal. So instead of a one possession game and letting your defense do its job, the coaching staff gives the opposing team the ball with a short field and kills their chances.
For the sake of this article, I want get into the calls from the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff. Coaches need to just coach the game and quit causing their team the chance to win each game.
Have you seen any games that you felt coaches caused the team a chance to win the game. Leave your comment below to discuss.
