Two games ago, he called a time out with few seconds left so the other team had time to line up and scored a TD.

Last game, the unnecessary two point conversion.

Today, did not go for first down on forth down with 4 yds to go....like we stopped their offense the whole game and our offense can score with very little time left.

Very disappointed with Sparano...he may be a very good coach form Monday to Saturday, but when it come Sunday, he sucks.

Going for it there would have made no sense at all. If we didn't get the 1st all they would of had to do is pick up 20 yards and their in FG range to ice the game. If he would have gone for that he would have been a moron. Besides it worked we got the ball back with plenty of time left.

So now when something works we even second guess that?

Yea but there is 1 problem...OUR OFFENSE DOESNT HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO GO THE LENGTH OF THE FIELD THAT QUICKLY IN THAT AMOUNT OF TIME.

Going for it there is a 50-50 chance you get it. Much better probability than kicking, hoping to stop them, and then hoping our offense can drive the field. WOW

There was plenty of time left when we got the ball back. They just didn't make the catches. Sparano didn't drop those passes on the last drive. He put the team in the best position to win they just didn't execute. If he went for it there ESPN would be talking about how stupid it was for the next 3 days.

So it is a revelation that our receivers arent good all of a sudden? He didnt know that? He thought he had a bunch of guys outside that are capable of making plays time and time again? Yeah ok.

You mean just like we did against Indy? Just like we did against NO? Just like we did against SD? All 3 of those games we had a chance to win or tie with a last minute drive yet once again our deficiencies on offense showed up once again. Maybe one day he will figure it out and stop coaching like a puss.

I'm not just gonna keep going back and forth with you on this we obviously disagree. I think if you polled every coach in the league 30 out of 32 would tell you that punting was the right call in that position.
 
Doubt it. Not with this offense and its inability to move down the field without being able to run the ball.

Hes the head coach, he needs to know his team.
 
i thought the timeout he called with a few minutes left in the first half was a bad call. we wouldve had plenty of time to make a drive without the timeout. basically by calling it he gave brady more time on their last drive which luckily they only got a fg. he has no faith in our 2 minute offense and doesnt realize teams have been scoring one minute drives on us all year. his time management has been horrible this year.
 
Wasting timeouts has nothing to do with Receivers dropping everything thrown their way with the game on the line.
 
I was pissed he didn't go for the 4th down. It was still a ball game and I don't trust our defense to stop Brady and Moss. It was a bad decision then and most other coaches would have went for it.

I do think Sparano is getting a free pass for some boneheaded moves lately. Its time everyone is accountable, including the head coach.

and you do?
 
The timeouts towards the end of the game were horrible especially the last one. We had them stopped and they were gonna punt at about 3 mins if we would have kept the 1 timeout. The play calling of Henning has been the real problem and Sparano is responsible for him. Every time we are close to field goal range he picks a gimmick play that loses yardage and doesn't give the offense a real chance of being successfull. Sparano and his staff seem like really good coaches, but there game day coaching sucks at this point.
 
Should have gone for it on 4th & 4...That was the ball game right there and we all knew it. The only thing a punt accomplished is we surrendered 1 down earlier and basically said "We Give".

I will go as far to say when you have a team that is 3-6 or worse...You should go for it every time you cross the 50. Why not? You lose on a regular basis anyway so why play scared? Shake it up
