The good news is it looks like Golden is actively trying to get fired now.

I agree, actually.

You either play to win or play scared. WTF was that two-time out, 3rd and 6 in the red zone to RUN THE ******' BALL?!

I don't have a problem with him going for it. I have a problem with him not doing an onside kick or punting it when we got to kick off at what the 45 after the penalty when we scored that td. Also stop only running out of the ******* pistol. It would be so easy to prepare to play against miami. We don't even do 1 pass all game out of the pistol
 
In that situation, having kicked the field goal earlier, I genuinely have no idea what he aimed to do. It wasn't just a TD, XP and FG, either. It was a TD, 2PT and then a FG. Why not extend the game?

As we said earlier in the week, his issues with scenarios and circumstances are a clear pattern now. There's no evidence of him changing gears effectively.
 
His decision to not kick a FG down 2 scores, WITH ONLY ONE TIMEOUT, was inexplicable. We needed 11 points. We had limited time to do so. We had 4th and goal, and needed 5 yards or so (not 1 yard). There is simply no question that you have to take the points available and at least give yourself a chance to get a second score. By going for it and missing, the game was over with 5 minutes left. It's unbelievable, he's scared to be aggressive all throughout the game, and then in the one situation where he needed to be "more conservative" (or, really, just make the clear decision), he decides to go for it.

It was a CORCHING clinic with the disorganization, the wasted timeouts, and going for it there instead of giving themselves a chance.

Beautiful way to get himself fired.
