Fox is just like Herm and Marty. He's notorious for calling that kind of shit on gameday in the name of clock management.

Ya got yourself a real fine coach there, Knowmo. Have fun not winning another Super Bowl for Manning

McCoy was calling the plays, not Fox. I have no idea where you are getting this stuff from, do you have a link?

Fox said then that he stood by a decision to call a running play on third-and-7 at the Broncos' 47 and then punt the ball away with 1:15 remaining. He has a different opinion now, however.

"That's the one that gnaws at me. We get the first down there, and Baltimore can't stop the clock again, and the game's over," Fox told the newspaper.

Fox was playing the percentages...
Quote:
Fox said he played the percentages on all the calls—nothing more, nothing less.

According to his calculations:

—There's a 38 to 40 percent chance of converting a third-and-7 into a first down.

—By punting and giving Baltimore the ball on its 23-yard line, trailing by a touchdown with 1:09 left and no timeouts, the Broncos had a 97 percent chance of winning.

—That percentage spiked to 99.9 percent when the Ravens had the ball on the 30 with 41 seconds left.

Turned out, the Broncos are a ".1 percenter."

"I mean this in all sincerity, if I felt like we were going to give up a 70-yard touchdown pass with 31 seconds to go, we might have re-evaluated that," Fox said. "But that's not what the percentages said."

So you think the HC of an NFL team would have zero input on how he wants his team to close out a game? You also must think that the HC has zero input on two point conversions, whether to go for it on 4th down or if his team will attempt an onside kick.

The HC makes all of those decisions, ESPECIALLY in a playoff game. If you think otherwise maybe you are the idiot.

I don't think a defensive minded head coach is over there calling plays.

Onside kicks, two point conversions aren't the same as an offensive play call.

I don't expect you to get the difference.


If he had made the call the article would have worded it as HIS call

See where it said he stood by A decision, not HIS decision.

It was his call. Every crucial decision is made by the HC. That is why they are the HC. Why is Marty, a defensive minded HC, known for conservative offensive play? Because he decides how his offense will play, not the coordinator.

Come on man, you have watched enough football to know this. Fox told McCoy how he wanted that drive to go and then told McCoy that he wanted him to take a knee to send the game into OT. The HC makes those decisions.

So every play call went through him first?

No. But in crucial situations he told McCoy how he wanted the game to be called.

The article hints it was someone else's call.

I understood what he was saying.
