What I have learned from a season and a half of this coach is that when we have a lead, KOC is one of the worst play calllers in the league.

Last year we’d get a lead early, lose it, and Kirk would have to snatch victory from defeat at a historic mark once we were behind again.

This year much of the same with both Kirk and Dobbs. The last two weeks we’ve had comfortable leads and should have coughed up both because of multiple wasted possessions of wet-the-bed scared play calling.

With a lead, KOC shows the same lack of killer mentality that eventually ended his playing career. Coach not to lose and you’ll end up just that- a loser.

These last 6 quarters of play calling has me sick.

    Why does everyone always need someone to blame? There’s a whole ass other team of NFL caliber players and coaches doing everything in their power to win too. We lost by one on the road to a team that’s also been hot. We shoulda won if we took better care of the football. Shit happens. Credit to their defense for being so opportunistic and pressuring Dobbs seemingly every drop back.

    I do agree that the KOC era has left a lot to be desired in how we perform with a lead. But a lot of that is due to an inconsistent, if not non existent at times, running game. He finally had some success running the ball today and tried to take pressure off of Dobbs. Rushing attack disappeared in the Red Zone. That sucks. Needs to be better.

    If he stopped running the ball after driving down the field with tons of runs, and failed, you all would’ve bashed him for going away from what was working.

    Would I have passed it more down there? Probably. But I also don’t know all the details and game planning that they went into this week with. I don’t know how much of the offense Dobbs is comfortable with. I don’t know whether Denver was giving us looks that made running the more prudent option, and it simply failed. Who the fuck here knows all that?
