Nathaniel Hackett Just Threw His Hat in the Ring for Worst Coach of Week 1

9/12/2022

​How happy is Zac Taylor right now?

Just when you thought he had "bonehead coach of the week" on lock, Broncos rookie head coach Nathaniel Hackett (nepotism offspring of Paul Hackett) goes out there and forgets what timeouts are (don't worry, he'd overcompensate for his mistake later). 
​
In fairness, player performance matters. Hackett didn't fumble on the goal line twice like his two lead backs.

GOAL LINE STAND. @Seahawks

ANOTHER goal line fumble forced by the @Seahawks!

I didn't have any scratch on the game, but thoughts and prayers if you took the Broncos or potentially had Broncos ML to close out a 14K parlay.


​Let's fast forward to the Broncos final drive of the game; they're on their own 22 with 4:02 remaining, down 17-16. I get wanting to milk the clock in that situation. Ideally, you're getting into makable field goal range as time expires; maybe you score a touchdown late, but you gotta score. That's priority number one. Football 101. Obviously, you don't want your opponent to get another possession at this point in the game, but Denver's urgency wasn't there. Sure, it's their first game with a new QB, but look at the play times. They were barely moving the ball. It took them 2:02 to gain 18 yards.
Picture
This is where things got bizarre. Denver's on their own 40 with three timeouts left at the two-minute warning.

After Javonte Williams caught a short pass and gained around 7 yards, he fought for the extra yard instead of going out of bounds. Not the time and place for that, Javonte! Denver then takes its sweet-ass time like Donovan McNabb in the Super Bowl only to run another little pop-up screen for a four-yard loss. If you're not gonna call the time out there, whatever, it's a philosophical difference, but you cannot run a fucking screen because of exactly what happened in the game. They weren't even going to call timeout after losing four yards. The Broncos got bailed out by a Seahawk injury which stopped the clock at 1:13.

On 3rd & 14, Russell Wilson dumps it off to Javonte again. He gains 9 yards despite a lousy pass. Now Denver is on the Seattle 46 with the clock running. 
It's 4th & 5. They still haven't used any of their three timeouts. They're burning up their time like a solid Pigeons Playing Ping Pong song. ​

After nearly letting the play-clock expire, Denver calls its first timeout to bring out McManus for a 64-yarder. That poor bastard.

Look at the drive's play-by-play and make sure you focus on the times. They let the clock flow down the drain like water when you're brushing your teeth if you didn't have parent's who taught you that was wasteful.
Picture
Kickers are a lot better than they used to be, but how are you gonna give up the haul you did for Russell Wilson and take the ball out of his hands on 4th & 5 to attempt a would've been NFL record prior to 2014, 64 yard field goal??? It'd be one thing if was like a 52 yarder, but this was borderline workplace endangerment. 

The Seahawks even iced McManus, which gave the Broncos the opportunity to rethink and try to gain more yardage, but they again opted for the field goal. 

This close.

Sure, it was kinda close, but it's still a SIXTY-FOUR YARDER. That's 192 feet. I'd sort of get the call if it was sub 58, but it's just insane to me to think you have a better chance at making a nearly 200 foot field goal over picking up five yards with RUSSELL WILSON.

I've never liked the name Nathaniel, but Nathaniel Hackett is a BUM. Completely mismanaged the clock. Dude made Andy Reid look atomic. I still can't believe that just happened. Oh and he used his last two timeouts when the Seahawks were kneeling it out like a fucking loser in Madden. Sick debut, bro. I cannot believe an NFL coach fucked up that badly.

Good for Geno though. I'm happy for him.
