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.
