At Least Two NFL Games Were Lost By Coaches
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The bottom line: the New Orleans Saints lost because their Head Coach failed to run the ball three times and get his field goal kicker in position to win the game. The Minnesota Vikings lost because their coach did not have their Quarterback spike the ball. They would have had two plays to gain a victory. 53 players risk injury and giver their all to play this game, and to have an incompetent coach lose the game is unforgivable. Dennis Allen, head coach of the Saints, should be fired immediately. All he needed to win the game was a field goal. With less than two minutes left, he allowed his backup QB to pass the ball. If he would have run the ball up the middle, he would have used time and placed his kicker in a better position to gain the victory. Terrible decision. Kevin O’Connell, head coach of the Vikings, needed a touchdown to win. His refusal to save time for his quarterback guaranteed a loss. Both of these men should be fired on Monday mor
