What a colossal f**king embarrassment.
Yup. Bad play call at game's end by Kelly, bad pass from the freshman. Ugh. We were in position to win that game and the worst part....

Q. Can you take us through the last play with the interception in the end zone, what you were hoping to see there.
COACH KELLY: Yeah, we knew we had a one‑on‑one matchup with Mike Floyd. We certainly wanted to give that an opportunity for success and score a touchdown there. Took a timeout there to talk about it. I think we all know what happened there.
But keep in mind, you better get used to it, because that's the way we're playing. If we can get a one‑on‑one matchup, and we think we can get that accomplished, we're going to call that play again and again. We'll make that play. We didn't make it today. But in time we'll make that play.

Q. I know you said you would call that same play again. 36 seconds left, a field goal kicker who hasn't missed in the last 18 tries, why not just set up a field goal?
COACH KELLY: Why not try to get Michael Floyd one‑on‑one against a 5'9" corner and call a timeout, here is what we're going to do. Second down, take a shot here. If we don't like it, let's throw that thing away.
Tommy wanted to do all those things. Tommy is a gamer. You saw him competing out there. He knows the deal. He's a quarterback.
Again, to me this is how we play. We're going to play aggressive. We're going to play smart. If it's not there, we're going to throw it away. We're going to line up on third down and have another shot to get that thing even closer.
But I would make the call again and I would hope that the process of learning would have a different outcome.
Are you kidding me ? It is one thing to be an aggressive but you still have to coach and play smart football and that play call was not smart and saying you'd do it again is not smart. Admit your mistake jackass. You run the football, try to get into better range and eat up what you can from the clock, that's f**king elementary football stuff.
Rees had a good first half in place of Crist, made good decisions and smart decisions but that unraveled in the second half. Kelly now says the goal is to win 2 of the last 3 and get to 6 wins.
