So... Hartline catches the ball down the 40. You have 2 timeouts and 45 seconds left. Even a 10 year old playing Madden knows what to do there.
If you call a timeout right there, your whole playbook is open including the middle of the field thanks to the extra TO and you get the time to draw something up and run at least a couple plays. Instead, Pettine did nothing and pissed away 27 seconds. By the time Davis snapped it at 18 seconds and slid in bounds (it was stupid but he never should've been put in the situation), Pettine had to burn a TO just to stop the clock from running out. With 8 seconds left at that point, he couldn't run anything that needed time so he positioned the ball with his 2nd TO.
The reason Coons would've had to "punch" a 51 yard FG is because he's never made one. Ever. His collegiate high was 48 yards. That matches that stupid double penalty XP he made from 48 this year. That's it.
A good coach would know that and use his timeouts/run his playcalling strategically around getting his rookie kicker within 40-45 yards where he's made a handful this year. A bad coach would fuck it up miserably, be lucky to even get the kick off and watch his guy try to punch a kick at the back end of his range where it's very possibly going to get blocked due to the trajectory. And it was.
Game over. Pettine sucks.
