Was that the dumbest coaching call ever?


Epistaxis

Recommended Posts

I don't think anything will ever top Marty Mornhinweg's decision to have the Lions go on defense after winning an overtime coin toss.

Shanahan's decision wasn't great either, but Marty still owns that crown.

It has to be in the team photo though.

Marty made a really bad call, but TBH if Lovie had a situation like that and did the same thing, and came back with the logic "I thought our defense was dominant, playing better than our offense, had a chance to score almost equal to our offense, and our ST is a threat to score every time on the ensuing punt" I'd have to pause for a few moments given this Bears team and its anemic offense.

After a few moments I'd dismiss it as bullpoo.

Shanny can't even get a few moments of pause with his reasoning.

Cardio? Really? The guy had played the previous 58 minutes, ran for 45 yards and seemed fine.

Rex knows the 2 min drill better? How? Taking reps with the 2nd team doesn't lend itself to working on the drill at all. If posters on their message boards are to be believed (ha) Rex hadn't worked on it with the first team AT ALL.

So Shanny is either...

lying (most likely)

covering for his son (also possible)

wanted to bench Donovan anyway (why?)

made one of the worst coaching blunders I have ever seen (my choice).

    • Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter
    • my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.
