Christ fire him now. That defense wasn't ever going to stop Allen and the Bills at that point. And predictably they instantly were in FG range anyway after the punt. 

Put it in the hands of your 2 time MVP QB and Henry to get 3 damn yards then run the clock out.

Lamar wasn't available for that play, btw. He had gotten blown up the play before and came out with cramping. Don't wanna use a timeout there either since you were gonna need those if ya didn't get it (and that likely wouldn't have been enough time for Lamar to get back in there) So without the threat of Lamar and just Henry behind that struggling O-line...ehhhhh that was far less likely to work, imo Lamar said if he had been out there he would've insisted on going for it.

lol he was available. You really think Lamar would miss a pivotal play because of a cramp? During the post game presser said he was cramping, which is why he didn't push Harbaugh to go for it when he made the decision to punt. That's the only time that tidbit of info came up. Personally I think he was covering for his coach in that moment because he was essentially asked whether he thought they should have gone for it. And why not use a time out there? if they make the first down they run the clock out. Harbaugh really has no feel for when to be aggressive and when not to be. In game/in the moment decisions and clock management are so fundamental for a HC, and he sucks at it.

Turns out, Jackson was cramping. After the contest, he said that was the reason he didn't try to convince head coach John Harbaugh to go for it on fourth down.

They'll have to clean up the penalties and sloppy play if they want to beat the packers on Thursday.

 

The good news is they definitely left alot of meat on the bone but the game never really felt in doubt.

I think their roster Is much more talented this year.

I think they can beat the Packers, especially if they clean up the penalties and not lose yards because of them. Need to force some turnovers.
