Twice under 3 minutes in the 4th quarter they could have ran it to force New Orleans to take timeouts, but instead they went for the first down to win the game. Cmon KOC

    that’s literally the only thing their head coach does well. He goes for wins. our coach goes for “don’t lose”

    Hard to do it without Kirk. Dobber has shown who he is, which is exactly what everyone already knew, a backup.

    Comparing a full strength lions team with a garbage defense and their actual starting QB to an injured Vikings team with a QB that cannot throw well, doesn’t know the playbook, and is a turnover machine and good defense is just a bad argument. So many people resort to platitudes as if that means anything, “KOC is playing not to lose” is the most brain dead take when it’s all you say. Stripping all context is borderline malicious, and anger for a 2nd year headcoach in the situation he is in, is laughable. Feels like some of you want the org to be the panthers and just turn over coaches when KOC is clearly very good.

    Yeah KOC would’ve ran it 3 times for losses to punt and left 1:30 on the clock

    The late game play calling explains a lot of the difference in the W-L record between the two teams this season.

    You’re telling me they didn’t run an I-formation, dive up the middle?

    There is a reason we have had the most one score games the last two years. A coach without a killer instinct. Can’t teach that. Hate to say it but he ain’t taking us places.
