    Why Would Jim Caldwell Challenge a Play He Has Zero Percent Chance of Overturning?

    You're gonna challenge a down by contact ruling, when the player was literally sitting on his ass when he fumbled?

    How dumb are these coaches? They get paid a king's ransom to coach and manage a football team, and yet, every week we see these clowns bungle decisions... from timeout usage, to challenges, to clock management, playcalling etc.

    He has no business being an NFL head coach. None.

    Go back to his timeout in the Colts playoff loss to the Jets.

    To be fair, McCarthy trying a 52-yard FG there was also dumb.

    The ref probably asked him "you really want to challenge this?"

    Biggest decision they had to make was who can go out and announce call stands and keep it together without cracking up like gym teacher in Porkys.

    You aren't kidding.

    And what made it so bad, is that you could see the field officials explaining to Caldwell the ruling, as if they were basically trying to help him pull his head out of his own ass and save him a senseless timeout usage, and the idiot went ahead with the challenge anyways.

    Now think about if they converted that 2 pointer (think they did and good old walt just screwed them over) and had all 3 timeouts. Cost them a TO on one of the worst challenges this season.

    Yeah... it's pretty sad when an entire nation of football fans, at home on their couches, with a bowl of Cheetos in their lap, can make more sound decisions than these guys whose sole job is to do just that.
