I was half way rooting that we fumbled, got picked, or had the FG blocked. Aka get Steeled.

Kneel the ball and take the win.

Totally classless. Just take a knee 3 times and get off the field. Guess we ought to be glad we didn't attempt an onside kick at the end.

To your point, passing into the end zone with 20 seconds was total chickenshit. Not really surprised I guess.

He was 100% trying to make the scoreboard look less embarrassing.

I don't care about it being classless or not. It was 100% the wrong football move.

Yep. It's literally football 101. Big lead in the fourth quarter? Run the play clock down every time before snapping the ball. Have a lead (hell, big or small) in the very last seconds of a game? Kneel it and don't risk a fumble/interception/impossible happening.

The guy does not know how to coach, period. And it's embarrassing we are paying him $5 million a year.

I will say we did better in the 4th killing clock. We almost exclusively ran it and only passed when we needed a first down. All plays were snapped under 10 seconds remaining on the play clock. But I feel like this should be a given and not praised for getting it right.

This. That's what you're fricking supposed to do. This isn't EA Sports.

if anyone in the media had any balls they would have asked about that play in response to his "Any win is a good win" comment

Yea, running down the playclock in the 4th with a lead is basically like brushing your teeth. Not something to be praised if you do it regularly, but a major WTF if you don't.

But yet here we are talking about it because nothing this coaching staff does surprises us anymore when it comes to head scratching decisions.....

The last series was the only part of the game I watched. This was my thought. Why the frick are you letting the game go on past the necessary amount of time? Seal the W. Don't lose the game again like you did against UCLA.

If he Kevin Steele'd it then he'd have been fired Saturday night. In a blaze of glory.

We'd be 2-0 if the coaches didn't pass while trying to run the clock out in both games
