No risk it, no biscuit, eh, Arians? Way to make use of our timeouts and pressure the Seattle offense at the end of regulation. It ended SO well for you, didn't it, you frickin' wuss.

Way to eff it up at the end, too. You trot the kicker directly out onto the field, and you kick the ********* field goal. PERIOD. WTF is WRONG with you? You're lucky you're not an embattled coach, because those are the kinds of errors that cost embattled coaches jobs.

This whole season has been one mind boggling decision after another.

Still can't believe we ran two plays inside the 5 before kicking.

Makes two of us. Everything about what happened after JJ got tackled felt wrong. I was just SCREAMING for us to kick immediately for fear of something going wrong. And shocker... it did!

I don't mind running a play--one the puts the ball in the middle

Here is my chief complaint: How do you take a delay of game penalty?

I dont understand why they didnt run it in with DJ at the half yard line? That made no sense. Theres no way there was a fear of him fumbling.

Nothing made sense down there.

This game... and all season feels like Arians isn't big enough for the moment. The last two seasons, there were no expectations and he and the team looked like a completely free team.

EVERYTHING about this team looks like they're folding under the weight of expectations.

At least run it to the right to center the kick or put on right hash

Yeah kick the field goal on first down and go home. If not, you have to challenge the TD as the football was clearly over the pylon. Maddening.

It just shows that BA rode Carson Palmer as long as he could but now it looks like Father Time has kicked Carson in the nuts and he's pretty much done. Carson looks old, his arm seems weak at times and he appears to have lost the ability to read defenses and avoid double and triple coverages. The "Not So Special" Teams are an abomination and there you go.

I'll be surprised if they go 7-9 this season. Very disappointing.

This will not be popular, but the math on that says that we would have had 20 seconds left at about our 25 yard line with no timeouts. I think there's as much likelihood of fumbling the punt or getting some strip sack in that situation. We were outplaying them, just take OT there.

I totally agree with your take and did not blame BA at all for not using his timeouts there

I totally disagree about the end of the game. Not only am I fine with the first two runs, I thought they should of ran in once more on third down. I am much more confident in Johnson getting 1/2 yard than I am with the field goal unit (from any distance).

If our Special teams coach is still employed here next year... It better be because our new head coach thinks he has "moxie".

Shouldve blasted it up the middle on 3rd and 1. There was maybe a 1% chance something bad would happen.

99% chance itd be a TD and win.

No risk it huh?

Why are people complaining saying that Arians shouldn't have ran 2 plays? He probably knew his kicker is awful and wanted to end it with a TD and then finally decided on 3rd down to just kick it.

If you're complaining about Arians, complain that he didn't try ONCE AGAIN on 3rd down with Johnson for the TD rather than bringing Cat out there for the FG. I doubt Johnson would fumble it there.

But Y'all seriously think he would have made it on the first try if he didn't later on? What difference does it make? 5 yards cause of the penalty? Bull crap, inside the 20 that should be automatic for any professional kicker that doesn't suck.

Seahawks have the same thread about their kicker on their forum too.
