[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 521971, member: 9033"] Really comes down to the end of game coaching. I'll just post some quotes from Grantland since they're much more eloquent than I: He [McCarthy] let the clock wind past the two-minute warning all the way to 1:14, at which point the Bears ran a first-down running play and miraculously held a Packers player, giving McCarthy a free timeout [I]that he turned down by accepting the penalty[/I]. The time stoppage there is far more valuable than the 10 yards, especially considering that the Bears are already in the red zone and more interested in burning clock than they really are in scoring a touchdown. Instead, McCarthy accepted the penalty, giving the Bears another play with which to burn clock (and another chance for McCarthy to be stuck having used all three of his timeouts on defense, which is exactly what happened). It was lost in the Rodgers fracas after the game, but it's hard to imagine mismanaging the clock at the end of the game worse than the Packers did. [/QUOTE]
