Who knows why Mora is so cranky. Logic says that he is frustrated with himself and his coaches for losing 3 OT games. But…maybe his Starbucks order was wrong….or his cat died…or someone parked in his spot. Us people in our 60s get cranky for a lot of reasons…lol.
Odd moment when a reporter was asking about the impact of losing 3 games…and Mora said it wasn’t 3 games…the reporter said…”in overtime’’. Mora was snippy and said “you didn’t say overtime”. I thought it was odd because so what if he didn’t say overtime…they do have 3 losses?
Anyway…I guess a cranky coach is better than a coach blowing sunshine up our skirt.

As he should be. He’s totally justified to feel that way. As were the fans who posted in the thread after the game.

How I think Mora would have answered if he was asked to answer this question today.
“because I thought we would win by going for 1”
Not saying I agree…but he wasn’t exactly into philosphising about strategy today.
The thing that upset me was Mora's answer for why they weren't running the ball more or something to that affect (I wish they would mic up the people asking questions). Sure you're passing more because you having success but don't you want to run the ball more to help balance the offense to take the pressure off of the QB at times, keep the defense guessing, and at times run the clock more. Also I don't get why they don't like to use the other running backs other than Edwards. On the "Husky Huddle", I think if I remember right someone suggested that maybe Edwards is banged up more than the team is letting on and because their run scheme is tough, Edwards is the only person that is capable of running it. I had a tough day at work so maybe my memory isn't exactly 100% lol!

He discussed it on Part 3 of his Coach's show. He thought about it. He thought they could stop them on defense and score again. He didn't want it to come down to 1 play. He would make the same decision again but hope for a different result.

The coaching carosuel and to go for two or not ??
Brinson had some tackles on Saturday where I was like that’s a good tackle for an NFL player. Some of those open field sticks were truly impressive..
For me, the whole season is on the line over the next three games because we’re going to figure out what kind of team we are. Are we gonna just fold up and start playing down to competition and blow some more games? Or are we going to make this season something special?
We’re going to find out so much on Saturday.

Weird thing is OT always comes down to one final play.
