And the point kind of is that the small decisions are key contributers to the loss. Not necessarily the last play of the game or the only reason. But end of halfs and games he mismanages the clock a lot, although I will say he hasn't had as many poor clock issues over the past two seasons, coincidentally or not since mahomes started.
But part of the overall point is that the decisions don't have to be the exact ultimate play or call that ended or wrapped up the game. But against great teams in big games they are one of the nails in the coffin. I like the guy, I really do. I want him to get that trophy. I would even if he was coaching the Vikings or something. But he doesn't help when he doesn't learn and then at times gets defensive about it in pressers and then it happens again.

Andy is terrible with the clock. No doubt. He makes strange decisions and especially doesn't have a great feel for momentum. He doesn't know when to pull back or when to go for the kill.
Andy is one of the most brilliant offensive coaches ever. He's an elite motivator and game-planner. His flaws can be a real burden and they're all regarding things he does managing the game.
NONE of this is new. It all goes back to Philly. The thing that sucks is his flaws never seem to get corrected, so I don't think they will ever be corrected. All I can hope for is a transcendent talent covering them up. Too bad he wasn't playing tonight.
