Dumb Decisions: The WORST Clock Management in Super Bowl HISTORY | Mike Holmgren (Super Bowl XL)
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 01. 2021
- At Super Bowl XL between the Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh Steelers, the Seahawks were down 7-3 in the first half, and were in Pittsburgh territory with roughly one minute left and a timeout. Inexplicably, Mike Holmgren decided not to do anything, and just let the clock run out. This highly criticized decision at Super Bowl 40 turned out to be the wrong one.

This is for copyright reasons; the video got blocked literally every single time I tried to post it with a less intrusive filter. I wish there was something I could do about this, but unfortunately, my hands were tied - Sport
Mike Holmgren was a good coach but horrible at clock management. It makes sense that Andy Reid was an assistant under him in Green Bay.
Philadelphia Eagles wasted all of their time left against the Patriots scoring a touchdown with almost no time left...that was just as stupid.
That is what I expected this to be about.
Even Belichick was shocked and astonished at how long they were taking to score.
I came in here expecting Super Bowl 39 as well.
This is bad, but I've seen worse. I remember the Eagles/Patriots Super Bowl back in 2003 when the Eagles were down two scores with less than 5 minutes left in the game and Donovan McNabb was taking his sweet time in the huddle. They still had a chance to win the game.
It was 2004 season
But I remember getting off watch (my ship was underway in the middle of the Pacific) and seeing the Eagles methodically driving as if they have time. They didn’t have much time left being down 10. wtf….?
Donavan was just the heat shield for Reid.
I remember that one too (Super Bowl 39). They should have been in hurry-up mode. Then, after the Patriots ran the ball down to about 55 seconds left, the Eagles sent everyone to try to block the punt and they couldn't...Josh Miller got the ball down to the Eagles 4...needing to go 65 yards with no timeouts to try to tie. Westbrook made the mistake of catching the first pass, and with 17 seconds left (remember, still on their own 4)...McNabb threw a pass deflecting off a receiver that Rodney Harrison intercepted. Even if the pass was completed, there's no way that the Eagles could have gotten another play off if they didn't get out of bounds...they needed all the yards for a long field goal.
@@mjwatts1983 -- And then they scored, but after the 2 minute warning. They also had to burn a timeout during the drive, meaning they didn't have all 3 timeouts to use on defense.
Funny that the video's SB is the one right after this one.
If the officiating wasn't the top story of this game coming out of it, people would remember this more and far fewer people would be surprised that this isn't about the Eagles/Pats SB the year before. I remember this like it was yesterday, Al Michaels and John Madden were ranting and ripping Mike Holmgren a new orifice as the clock was melting away at the end of both halves 😂
Yes, Holmgren was a very good coach with a solid case for the Hall of Fame. HST, his legacy is hurt by the fact that his coaching caused two Super Bowl losses he should have won (this and SB32).
What is the worst that could happen by trying for a TD against the Steelers at the end of the half in the Super Bowl?
*Jarome Harrison has entered the chat.*
And at the end of the 4th quarter Seattle was down 11 yet did not get the quick field goal then try the onside kick. Instead they blew the whole clock trying for the touchdown.
Yeah I thought that was going to be the topic of the video
Holmgren did the same thing in a Sunday night game against the Saints in 2007.
Seems ever since letting TD score in Super Bowl XXXII (when he forgot it was third down) his genius label totally was torn to shit
The rules today (they were different then) make the onside kick nearly impossible to successfully do. Pat McAfee and Younghoe Koo are really the only ones who know how to do an onside kick these days, and the former is retired.
JG! You do great work, but I will confess that I did not watch this video. I remember watching this game and in the waning seconds saying to all present "this was the worst clock management in super bowl history"
Yup!
The first Eagles vs. Patriots super bowl had pretty bad time management by Andy Reid in the fourth quarter. IIRC, in the Missing Rings documentary on the 2004 Patriots, Bill Belichick was like "I almost wanted to tell them [the Eagles] to hurry up"
You know it's bad when even the opposing coach is wondering WTF you're doing.
The cardinals could have done the same thing in XLIII but ended up getting picked off and are now losing by even more before Springsteen went into halftime
The cool thing about that INT in the Pitt/Arz super bowl was that James Harrison was the Steelers' best pass rusher and he dropped back into coverage after initially faking a blitz, the intention was to confuse Warner and it actually worked!
Wow, the controversy overshadowed this game so much I forgot this even happened. This reminds me of Pittsburgh's first half cowardice against Buffalo earlier this year. Also, even as a Steeler fan, I was surprised Cowher got in, honestly.
@@matthewdaley746 I'm actually kind of frustrated they put Cowher in because now all the Tom Flores people have more of a case lol.
@@matthewdaley746 I feel like Coughlin's in the same boat; if he had retired after that last SB win he might already be in, especially if Cowher's in.
@@matthewdaley746 So true! If by "reputation" you are referring to his reputation for having won 62% of his games despite having an elite QB for at most 3 seasons (if you think Ben was elite that early, and even if you do he was not healthy the 3rd year). Coughlin won 53% at both his stops, his teams got hot at the right time. He never really had a great QB, but Eli did rise to the occasion twice. Shanahan only won 55% and had Elway for his championship years.
I reject the concept that a handful of games against a single opponent is more important than overall record. Aside from small sample size issues it ignores the fact that schematic matchups matter. I would rather have a team built to beat 31 others instead of a team designed to beat 1 opponent, if that math doesn't make sense to you... I would love to do business.
I was surprised by Cowher's HOF selection as well. He coached a long time, but his Steelers were never elite, they were lucky also-rans, he's lucky the refs handed the Steelers SBXL otherwise there would be no way Cowher is in the HOF.
Also I agree with the sentiment that Mike Shanahan made a career off Elway's coattails. How much did he win after Elway retired in 1999? I think Denver only won that '05 Div Playoff against New England and never returned to the playoffs after the loss to Cowher's '05 Steelers.
I also agree that Coughlin had Eli get hot at the right times bc other than that NYG was just a one and done Wildcarder
@@ericfitzgerald9214 You're right about Shanahan. He coached 14 more seasons after Elway retired, and had just the one playoff win with only 5 appearances. He also had seven .500 or worse seasons in this span, meaning he essentially became Jeff Fisher post-Elway.
The Eagles-Patriots Super Bowl in 2005 was just as bad. Andy Reid let his offense operate at a snail's pace when they were down by ten in the fourth quarter.
Super Bowl 39. I was screaming at the TV...you need a touchdown or some score before the 2 minute warning...preferably around 2:15 or more. They should have been in hurry-up, and they would then have had all 3 timeouts plus the 2 minute warning. The only danger then would be: if the Patriots were maybe facing a 4th and 1, would they send in extra linemen and go for it (or at least hard-count)?
McNabb had taken a physical pounding by then. It was amazing that he was even on the field late in the game. He couldn't even stand straight, let alone speed up the offensive pace. I chalk that up to Belichick's defensive game plan.......just the start in a 4-3 alignment instead of the Patriots' base 3-4, that alone caught McNabb by surprise.
I'd forgotten about the horrible clock management at the end of the first half. If they'd had Justin Tucker that would have at least been semi-defensible (cut it to 1, get the momentum going into halftime, blah blah blah.) But with the WORST KICKER IN THE LEAGUE? Yeah, you at least take a shot or two downfield.
The video has some messed up jump cuts in it
Yeah it does. Hard to watch.
Yeah, and I remember people saying the steelers paid the refs and that they cheated to win super bowl xl. This loss was solely a coaching blunder.
No, it was BOTH… it was a coaching blunder and a fkn HACKJOB by the refs as well!!!
The Seahawks really got screwed in this game with a couple of bad pass interference/defensive holding calls. I never felt that the Steelers really deserved to win this Super Bowl. Plus, Roethlisburger played pretty badly in this game, which a lot of people seem to forget.
He had like a 22 passer rating. Worst passer rating of any QB to win the Superbowl.
@@jamesage24 In other words, the Steelers would've been better off if he'd spiked the ball into the ground every play? Got it.
@@DolFan316 I don't understand your point. Is a 22 passer rating acceptable in a Super Bowl?
The Steelers didn't exactly deserve to win. But after running the clock out on themselves, biting on an obvious trick play the Steelers ran 4 or 5 times that same season, allowing a simple off-tackle handoff to go 75 yds for a TD, and Jeramy Stevens dropping nearly everything thrown to him, the Seahawks definitely earned this bit fat L despite the calls that went against them
@@jamesage24 even worse than Trent Dilfer 🤣… that says ALOT for Rapelesberger!’
I love these super bowl videos
He's the Angry Football Nerd...
Not the SB I excepted.
Might be the worst Super Bowl I've ever seen, and I'm a Steelers fan.
@@SteelerFanInRI yep had so much potential
@@SteelerFanInRI
Rams/Patriots (most recent) much worse and made this look like a thriller
@@joeyblowey3460 I 100% agree with u my boi… worst SB EVER is the Rams/Patriots Rematch of 2018, I would’ve had More fun Watching Paint Dry!!!
Yup...totally cowardice coaching at the end of the half. Played it scared and it showed...so many "bad ideas"--Talk about a "dumb decision" for sure
Seattle got screwed that game, all game long! The dumb play call decisions sure didn't help Seattle's cause.
between this clock management, Jeramy Stevens dropping nearly everything thrown to him, and allowing a simple off-tackle handoff to go for a 75-yd TD, Seattle screwed themselves. They easily could've won anyway despite the refs just by playing fundamentally sound football at even college level basics
@@sean4677 I do not at all disagree with this. Bad breaks have to be overcome. That's about all...
@@ShadowBanned904 it’s not a bad break when the refs delete a touchdown of your own and the gift a TD to a QB who was CLEARLY NOT over or touching the Goal line!
And Darrell Jackson did NOT push off on his TD… JS 🤷♂️
Did this get re-edited after being pulled for a copy write strike?
Hurts that my team is the subject. Old pain lol
I thought the Seahawks controlled the action of Super Bowl XL, but it was all punches and jabs, no knockout blows. That, and some spotty officiating, cost them.
I still don't like that pass in the Super Bowl 9 years later by the Seahawks: I would've liked to see at least a run fake/zone-read kind of thing, and why shotgun formation on the 1-yard line? Or, at least give Russell Wilson a rollout, so he could throw, throw the ball away, or run it in. So, my problem was with the formation and what they did with it.
Especially with Pete's legacy of being let down in big games by his QB (Wilson, Bledsoe)
@@mgb4692 Yeah, Russell Wilson has had some strong playoff moments (defense & an onside kick bailed him out in the 2014 Conference Championship though; he played poorly in that spot), but I don't think Drew Bledsoe ever had a signature playoff game (I like Bledsoe a lot, but I think his numbers got fat on weak defensive teams and wasn't always his best against top-tier competition).
Bledsoe did have the AFCCG win over the Steelers subbing for Brady, of course that was too little too late four years after he'd blown two games against them: one cost them home field, the other the AFCCG. Not a Super Bowl, there was no ducking Denver this time around (people that have this idea that Pete tore down a SB team in New England seem to forget they ducked the Broncos when they went, Denver owned New England in the 90s Pete *or* Parcells), but didn't really do anything to dispel his soft big game label
@@mgb4692 Yeah, I always believed the 1996 Patriots lucked out in not having to face the Broncos in the playoffs that season; if they did, maybe it wouldn't have been a 34-8 slaughter as it was in the regular-season game, but I'm very sure the Broncos would've won (they were the class of the FC from 1996-'98, and they beat the Pats in subsequent seasons).
Bledsoe did save the Patriot bacon subbing for Brady, but I don't think Bledsoe was capable of leading the 2001 Patriots to that point (0-2 as a 2001 starter).
Definitely, Pete Carroll got a bad rap coaching the Patriots; the team wasn't nearly as good as some thought (no more lucking out for them), and certain players became entitled & complacent, as some Super Bowl teams do (the 1994 Chargers are a good example of that; Pat Riley's "The Disease of More" was working with those Chargers post-Super Bowl 29).
I think Mike Holmgren and Andy Reid are the same person.
Holmgren said he told a ref before the game who had been officiating at his games since he was Holmgren was a high school coach, “I hope this game isn’t too big for you.”
The ref proved that it wasn’t. He screwed Holmgren all through the game. 😂
Might be time for a video where Matt LaFleur kicked the FG & THEN didn’t kick it out of the end zone on the kickoff.
czcams.com/video/LwjetlzE6s8/video.html
@@OfficialJaguarGator9 Thank you!! Don’t know how I missed that one. 😀
@@OfficialJaguarGator9 Hey just as big in what LaFleur did is the fact that he didn’t even understand his own script? Why? YOU ONLY GET A 4th TIME OUT IF YOU KICK THE BALL OUT OF THE END ZONE W/2:08 LEFT!!! Instead the Packers kicked it to the one yard line & Bucs fielded it!!!!!!! That’s so huge because then there was 2:02 left & Brady passed for 9 yards!!!! PACKERS LOST THEIR 4th TIMEOUT that LaFleur used as his reasoning!!!! So after thePass the Packers intentionally went offsides! But seriously, listen to Matt LaFleur explain that he had 4 timeouts due to the 2 minute warning & then watch the idiot not tell special teams to kick the damn ball out of the end zone!!! He’s following play sheets & & stats instead of coaching. He has no say in the other 2 phases of the games.
And Pettine (garbage, yeah, like he was alone) was scapegoated, continued a proud GB tradition of blowing the NFC title game and putting it on an assistant--Shawn Slocum)
Sure Bostick should have got the hell of the way but Jordy Nelson was gonna take it cleanly with Chris Matthews barreling at him? Yeah he was taking it alright, not the ball. Nelson dropped a wide open pass that would have gone for a 95 yd TD against Buffalo that would have given the Packers home field and dropped the Hawks into wildcard weekend, so it was far from a sure thing.
And they never got the ball back. The other way around could be this season, KC vs. Baltimore...KC was attempting to drive to kick a FG with no time left to win, but then CEH was stripped by Oweh, who recovered the fumble, with about 1:30 left. The Chiefs used all 3 timeouts on defense, but then on 4th down and a long 1, the Ravens instead decided to go for it, sending in a formation with 8 offensive linemen...they got the first, and Mahomes never got the ball back.
SUGGESTION: A Dumb Decisions Super Bowl edition on Joe Gibbs - The troubled Redskins trailed the Raiders 14-3 just before halftime in Super Bowl 18. Pinned deep in their own end, instead of just running out the clock to regroup at halftime, Joe Gibbs decides to call "Rocket Screen"......a screen pass intended for Joe Washington.
However, Jack Squirek intercepted Joe Theismann's attempt and walked in for a touchdown, giving the Raiders a commanding 21-3 lead going into halftime. And for all intents and purposes, sealed Washington's fate. Talk about a dumb decision.
Can you do the worst NFL 2nd round picks of the 2010’s?
Such as?
Hit just over 69% of his kicks........ Niceeeee
Nice
Why is the video jumping all over the place?
Coaching like a coward in the Super Bowl i2 a 8ad id3a.
Wasn't this game fixed anyway because the league wanted " the bus " to win in his hometown of Detroit?
That's the theory that a lot of people have, but there was really only 1 blatantly bad call (the low blocking foul on Hasselbeck for trying to make a tackle after throwing an INT). Everything else was super close and could've been called either way. Roethlisberger's TD only stood because the original call on the field was a TD and the replay was inconclusive.
The reason I appreciate this video is that it was always bizarre to me that the biggest takeaway for a lot of people after the game was the officiating. There were so many other things that affected the outcome of this game, for example this horrid clock management in the video, and Jeramy Steves dropping almost everything thrown to him (albeit he did have a TD), and allowing a simple handoff to go for a 70+ yd TD. The truth is that with sound fundamental football the Seahawks should have still won this game very easily with no contest. Neither team actually deserved this Lombardi Trophy as the Steelers were equally terrible.
To answer ur question Rock n Roll… YES it was HEAVY Favortism for the Steelers, it was held in Detroit Where the Bus 🚃 is from and it was said by officials who keep track of this type of stat that 75% of people in Attendance were Steelers fans! 👎
Something akin to Occam's razor. Bad officiating being just bad officiating but it has been said to be rigged although with lack of evidence.
I wouldn't chance Least Mode
0:17 I would have thrown a fade to the back of the end zone
Worked out well in the end
#GoPats
Maybe the game like so many in the last 20 years was RIGGED!!
Sour grapes much? Mike Holmgren coaching scared?
Let's also not forget that Dick LeBeau devised a bend, but don't break game plan against the Seahawks. Sure, the Steelers gave up nearly 400 yards, but the most important stat, they held the league's highest scoring team of 2005 to a season-low 10 points.
I noticed a few cuts in this video.
Yep. NFL copyright blocked it
Thanks, My nightmares wil return! Go Hawks!
Finally, someone doesn't just say "Refs wanted Steelers to win" and knows the clock management by the Seahawks was trash
Says the Steelers fan
🤣

Considering the controversial officiating I wouldn’t be surprised if the NFL saw Super Bowl XL and kept blocking until you wore them down.
@@jesseyates721 CZcams User: Y ALL CLIPS FROM 2005 NOT 4K?????
this is the worst refed game in SB history. The fix was definitely in on this game
I actually think the most recent one with Cincy and the Rams was even worse. Even weirder PI calls, missed facemasks, Aaron Donald lined up offside on the Bengals' final 4th down play and the refs missed that, but we were all yelling at the TV "HE'S OFFSIDE!" lol
Not the worst Game Clock Management The worst Officials
Roethlisbeger wasn't in the endzone.
@@KMcNally117 I’ve seen Big Ben’s dive many times and this Seahawks fan can’t say for sure whether or not he broke the plane. Therefore the call on the field either way would stand. My problem with the play is the official on the goal line runs in with only his right arm in the air, signifying Ben was stopped short. However, he then changed his mind and signaled touchdown. That call then had to stand. For people who believe the Super Bowl was rigged in favor of the Steelers this should be Exhibit A.
@@KMcNally117 ball crossed the plane as he was in the air; lol NFL Network already showed this years ago.
@@SteelerFanInRI It is very tough to tell, but there was a lot of other calls that was bs that went against seattle
@@NuRm69...yeah, then focus on those, not the call that was proven correct. Hard to say the refs are 100% the reason a team loses a game they lost by double digits anyway.
Was this superbowl fixed or not? What do you guys think?
It probably was "fixed" from an officiating standpoint. But any time it's brought up, I always the cite the awful game management in this video, plus all of Jeramy Stevens' dropped passes, plus allowing a 70+ yd TD on a simple handoff PLUS a backup safety biting on the most obvious trick play of all time (Steelers ran that same Randle El pass play 4 or 5 times that season), as a way of saying a) Seahawks would have won by 2 TDs anyway just by playing fundamentally sound football and b) refs were not the sole reason they lost
