Past simple

It might be the first time gentlemen that I've ever heard in NFL coach, especially in the modern NFL, say I kicked the field goal because I thought it would be good for team morale.

Modal verbs - A2

I mean, I wanna be kind and gentle with him, and you should be aware of your team's feelings.

How can you imagine how your team morale will feel if you scored a touchdown right there?

So to me, what happened was you just got a little nervous and first time I was ever on TV, I got nervous.

Sometimes your first time in the big moment.

You get a little nervous and certain things get a little tight and you make some real scary decisions.

So next year he'll be a little more confident.

It won't be his first time on this big stage and he won't be concerned about morale.

They were dominating people up until this point.

He got confused because here's he was Here's what happened.

Yes, he is confusing because there's only two things, right?

The first thing could be was that coming into this game, he thought the bills were better than they were and that they actually had a chance to win this game, right?

And then once it didn't happen, he was like, Okay, now we're gonna look, uh, you know, and see how we could keep it close.

And the other thing was that he just came in looking for moral victories.

But what happened is he started thinking about his own feelings, not his team's feelings.

Because what your team will want to hear is after you go forward on 4th and 21 if you score a touchdown, it's all good, right?

But if you don't score a touchdown, you're gonna have time and say, you know what?

Three points wasn't going to do it, and I believe than you, I believe, than you Josh Allen the same way that they believe in Patrick Mahomes and we are as good as they are.

And I wanted to go for seven or I wanted to go for six because six wins this Game six gets us in the championship.

It's not about, oh, I want you guys to feel better about the loss.

Could see for you to go for a field goal.

At that point, you've already conceded we are not going to score enough points toe win this game, so let's keep it close.

Let's all Kumbaya and let's all take care about feelings.

This is a game about winning and getting points, and then no points are points and no point in the game or points more of a premium.

Then when you're playing and you re and you read the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes and look at the graphic that we're showing you there in case you didn't watch this game, they had just given up 21 unanswered points.

You're gonna have to match them score for score on this night, and I mean, when the game starts, the announcers will say you're not gonna beat this team by kicking field goals.

Dan, you know where I bet Morale was really good at halftime?

Was in the Buccaneers locker room after they went for it on fourth down and hit a bomb to Scotty Miller with about a second left in the half.

I bet that was really good for team morale, and it goes back.

A couple years ago, I was covering Giants Packer's playoff game and the Packers hit the hell Mary right at the end of the first half.

And after the game, I asked Jared Cook their tight end.

What was the feeling like in the locker room at halftime?

And he said to me, You ever seen the look in a man's I?

I said, no, obviously I never but that was the point around.

So you gotta do something to get him fired up.

That was conceding a field goal right before halftime.

When have you seen the look in a man's eye?

When he was about to go kill, he's probably hunting.

Dear, dear, perhaps I've never seen that look in a man's I either.

But it's not what I'm looking forward to.

If I had a vote, which I don't, I would have voted him coach of the year.

I think he is a great coach, which is one of the many reasons I hate that we're having this conversation because that was a terrible explanation for a bad decision.
