Rhule Has No Idea What He Is Doing

True, but I think people are missing the underlying point here. It's not even about the wasted timeout (even though that was bad). It was the fact that an NFL coach didn't even know what to do in a situation like that. Good coaches know EXACTLY what they want to do depending on the 3rd down prior. Like "look, if we gain 4 yards on 3rd down, we're going for it". Or "if this 3rd and 4 doesn't work, we're going to go ahead and go for it again on 4th". Rhule didn't know whether he wanted to punt or go for it, and the ONLY reason he called a timeout to go for it was because he was getting flamed from the crowd. So we have a head coach that lets the crowd dictate your strategy. Not a good sign.

I think ppl make bold statements based on nothing...

Again we poo on Ron his 1st 2 years for the same type of stuff until he got better at it..

This is still only Rhule and CO 2nd year of a presumably 5 year rebuild..

You know it probably wouldn’t have mattered but you punt late there with 3 timeouts and the two min warning.  That was the wrong move clearly.  Down 3 at the time

I’ll give coach this…if we punt, the way our defense was playing, we never see the ball again

he should have been on top of this and he wasn’t

Define 5 year rebuild?

What’s the goal? Super Bowl, playoffs, 8 wins?

Some of us might not even be around three years from now…

Do you not remember the letter to.fans sent by Tepper 2 years ago.. 

They won 5 last year if they get 8 or 9 this year would that not be a improvement??

I disagree wrong move and it clearly played out to show it was the wrong move

Definitely joining the majority in disagreeing with you. 100% agree with the decision to go for it based on our inability to stop the run. Also, I disagree with your assessment that it played out to show it was the wrong call. It actually showed why it was the right call. Even though we didn't convert, we still got the ball back with nearly 2 minutes with the potential for a game winning TD. The upside is huge; the downside is surmountable. 

Conversely if we punt, we might get lucky and force a 3 and out and get a chance to send it to overtime with a fg (although probably not), but even then there's a good chance we still lose in overtime since our defense could not stop them all day. If anything, being down 6 may have helped cause it forced us to play for the win rather than play conservative and likely lose anyway. Ultimately we couldn't even get in field goal range so it's a moot point. But weighing pros and cons of each and judging the flow of the game to that point, it was a no brainer to go for it and it's sad Rhule didn't register that right away and had to waste a timeout.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
