Look, I'm not a negative person. I read these post on here all the time, but I have never created one myself. That's how serious I feel about this. I am usually glad to just say, "hey a win is a win." But even though I'm overjoyed we are actually in the playoff picture this late in the year, I cannot over look some of the questionable decisions Koetter made. I know he is a first year head coach and is still learning, but as fans, we are doing ourselves a disservice writing off all his conservative decisions as him learning when really it looks like a trend. Three decisions in particular stood out to me yesterday. Each time he took the conservative approach even though he is talked about as an aggressive foot on the throat type of play caller.
Before the half, we kick the field goal on third down rather than taking a shot at the endzone. What is this about? There was plenty of time to go for a score. We have a 6'5 guy that is perfect for the situation.
After the fourth quarter touchdown, we kick the extra-point instead of going for two. What advantage is there to being up nine points?
On the Chiefs drive that cut the lead to 19-17, there was a questionable play that looked like a KC fumble and Bucs recovery. Koetter doesn't even challenge it. We had three time outs and that could have sealed the game. What does it hurt to try?
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm not. What do you all think?
