[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 628699, member: 274"] Thanks for starting this thread. I was going to start one about the 10 second runoff. Your observation adds to what I'm about to say. This soundbite exacerbates how poorly we handled the last 27 seconds. The "sudden change" or "situational awareness" that was praised last week, was turned on its head this week, and it almost entirely points to coaching. [LIST=1] [*][B]Decision to spike the ball[/B] - Tobias had to look to the sidelines for instruction. Coaches responded by signaling the spike. You can debate whether spiking and forfeiting 1 of our 3 attempts at a TD, and it would be a conversation by itself imo, if it weren't for the more egregious decisions that followed. There's something here, imo. [*][B]Snap infraction[/B] - First, it took us 4 seconds from a stopped clock to hike the ball to spike. That's problem #1. Problem #2 is the snap infraction i.e., players were not prepared for the situation. [*][B]See [USER=355]@DenverJacket56[/USER]'s post below. 10 second runoff vs. taking a timeout. [/B]I mean, you almost have to try to be unprepared for that situation as a coach.
