[QUOTE="BorderRivals.com, post: 462108, member: 6416"] I touch on this topic, and more, in my latest post: [url]http://wp.me/p29VCs-aM[/url] But, I wanted to highlight one of my biggest beefs from yesterday's game. MM's over-aggressiveness cost us 3 points at the end of the 1st half and got us off to a poor start in the 2nd half. At the end of the 1st half, we got the ball back with about 50 seconds left, down 6. I like the fact we didn't take a knee, but the first two plays didn't get us going. Now with around 30 seconds left, and after a short completion on 2nd down, still well short of the first down marker, MM calls a timeout. At first, I had figured SF called it. Coaching error number 1. Next play, Rodgers doesn't see anything and instead of just sliding inbounds to keep the clock running - and force SF to use it's last timeout - Rodgers throws the ball away. Remember, he was running away from the pocket and had someone applying light pressure. Plenty of time/space to slide and keep the clock running. MM should have made sure Rodgers knew to keep the clock running at all costs (or Rodgers should have known that himself). Either way, coaching/player error number 2.
