I love Rex but he needs to learn how to manage a game. First it was the first half when the dolphins were just running out the clock to go into the half and he was calling timeouts. Then there was the facemask and they had good field position with like 30 seconds left. Then there was the fumble that he didnt attempt to challenge even though it was worth a try whether it worked or not you need to try and derail their td scoring drive with a turnover. And while im breaking his balls I guess ill bring up the 2 point conversions when everyone including the commentators were saying it was a bad decision.
I have no problems with 2 point conversions, he was trying to get it within 3 points instead of 5, obviously if we made one the game would be tied at the end, You are playing the result if he makes one of those you are calling him a genius.
enough with the 2 pts... if they made one of them would have been OT and then who knows- That game was fucked up with Mia's 21 pts out of nowhere. That said might be the worst I have ever taken a loss. Amazing how I'm not used to this feeling by now
Wouldnt be calling him a genius for getting one of the 2 just calling him over aggressive. The first 2 point conversion was still really early.
The 2- point conversions ended up being a non-factor in the end of the game. If we kicked both extra points, we would have still been down by 4. This is because Miami would not have went for their 2-point conversion
If they kick the 2 PATs that makes a FG tie the game. F*** the 2 points....YOU NEVER GO FOR IT EXCEPT LATE IN THE 4TH QUARTER !!
That's incorrect. If they went for all XP's they'd have had an opportunity to kick a FG at the end. Rex didn't coach well today, and I agree with the OP.
Rex's time management/score management leaves a lot to be desired. You definitely take the points in the 3rd quarter. I still like him but he, like our QB, is still learning. We need a Dick Curl clock expert STAT
My problem with him, and this is all symptomatic of the fact, that he still thinks like a DC. When he starts to act like an HC these games will turn into wins.
No, you are incorrect. We missed the first 2 point conversion, and then Miami missed one. The Dolphins would not have went for 2 if we hadn't gone for it first (honestly, I'm not sure why they went for it to begin with). So the first 2 conversions were a wash. We then missed the 2nd one, leaving us down by 5. If we kicked it there, we would still have been down by 4.
# TWO-POINT CONVERSION ATTEMPT. 6-M.Sanchez pass to 17-B.Edwards is incomplete. ATTEMPT FAILS. # (Pass formation) TWO-POINT CONVERSION ATTEMPT. 6-M.Sanchez pass to 81-D.Keller is incomplete. ATTEMPT FAILS. We missed two 2pt conversion attempts, one of which was still the 3rd quarter. If we had kicked XP's, we would have been within 3 at the end of the game. Miami's incompentent coaching has nothing to do with ours.
How would we have been within three? If we kick both times then Miami never goes for 2 and we're still down 4. It's ridiculous to suggest that if we kick both times then Miami still goes for 2 regardless.
Why did Miami go for two? It was stupid. Unless I'm missing something, that was just a dumb ass call by there coach.
Yeah, there was no benefit to them at all, but I'm still 100% certain he doesn't do it if we kick. When they scored the TD it made the score 30-19, if we've kicked it's 30-20, so kicking forces us to go for 2 next time anyway, no way they go for 2 there.
Rex going for 2 the first time was warranted. At that point in the game, the offense hadn't amounted dick. They scored that TD on a turnover. So he went with how the game was being played at that point. The 2nd time, he really had no choice since we missed on the first 2 pt conversion. But, you can't blame him for going for the first one. I'm sure he didn't think the offense was going to score 3 TDs.
