You don't even send the kicker out there in that situation with any quarterback. I'll give the worst NFL QB better odds to get 5 or 6 yards than to try to hit the second-longest field goal in history, by a kicker who was 1-7 over 60 yards in his career.
Great set up for this segment. The moment was too big for Hackett, he crumbled. If its possible to lose a team/locker room after one game, this could have been it.
RELAX! He made a mistake! It happens! Damn! Can’t wait to throw people away! Mad sad! Ever heard the concept of “learning from a mistake?” That’s what I thought lol
This is almost as perplexing as Koetter sending in Aguayo to kick a long field goal against NE, after Aguayo had already missed 5 FGs in warm-ups, and 2 in the game...
Absolutely correct. Remember 2014 NFC championship Seahawks vs Packer 22-22 OT where Russell Wilson called the play for 60yrd TD to hit back to the S.B. You got Pete Carroll called the 1yrd line pass VS the Patriots. YIKES! Now Rookie head coach Nathaniel Hackett just made the boneheaded move just like Pete Carroll, Brandon Staley, Kyle Shanahan and Matt Lafleur.
I was listening to Richard Sherman talk about this... He was saying, if Peyton Manning was the QB he calls a timeout... It Tom Brady was the QB he calls a timeout... Russell Wilson hasn't been given that power by the coaching staff. They won't let him call time-outs or call his own plays.

The thing that pissed me off the most was the moronic HC of the Broncos and the victory formation timeouts. You have over a min and three timeouts and Wilson and you want to blow the timeouts after you have already lost. Complete jackass going to make professionals line up 3 times for nothing but a snap and a kneel down? How'd this dude get a HC job? Go Hawks!!

Russ is experienced enough to have called a TO in the last minute. They had all three TO’s. The HC wasn’t experienced enough but Russ was. The HC still might have called for a field goal, but at least they would have the opportunity to discuss it. And Russ would have time to convince him otherwise.
Wasn't experienced enough??? Nathaniel Hackett started his NFL career in 2006! Buccaneers - Bills - Jaguars - Packers - Broncos! Russ only played fopr NFL from 2012. Who has more experience?
@@cy4330 Nate is a rookie HC. Assistant coaches aren’t responsible for clock/time/game management. That’s the HC’s responsibility. He’s new to that part of the job. But your point is still valid. With all that experience, you’d think he would have known to call a TO. But he didn’t. I chalked it up to inexperience, but perhaps you have a different explanation.
It wasn’t so much about clock management…Hackett was convinced McManus could make that kick for the win…strategy was probably to milk the clock so that Seattle could not come back with only 20 ticks left and 1 timeout…AJ Hawk thought that was in Hackett’s mind…bad decision
@@willdrucker4291 I get milking the clock but coaches usually do that after the offense has taken it into a reasonable range for the kicker first. McManus is a good kicker but 3 yards over his career high is not a reasonable range.
Pete Carroll is like Rich after the A&M loss to App State... I'm off the hook for not calling Beast Mode from the one. How does that hook taste Hackett?
I’ve never advocated for a HC firing until now. From clock control to sending a guy to kick a 64 yarder in hopes of winning it, it is despicable. 64 yards is not in a field goal range. 4&6 is much more doable, even with those bad odds.
@@JustAFan444 you should’ve seen the Bills offense when he was their OC for 2 years. Thank god for the cold front or those games would’ve been unwatchable.
The Broncos D completely stopped the Seahawks offense in its tracks in the second half, which was another reason the Broncos should have blown them out. The Seahawks were admirable, but if the Broncos hadn’t shut themselves in the foot the score could easily have been 44-17 or even 44-10! Russ was having the kind of night in which that should have happened. There were four known TDs blown, and the defensive penalties helped Seattle sustain scoring drives.
Broncos shocked the world...just not in the way we all assumed. I'm sure Russ is absolutely livid and he deserves to be. That was the moment why you paid him that money. Embarrassing.
Remember; 3 time outs w/ 46 seconds left should be the Time Out to kick a FG, then if you miss, you leave Hawks with 45 seconds and force them to make a First down to end it, and he stop the clock with 2 time outs = YOU GET THE BALL BACK with 10+ seconds left. Hackett was senseless and not prepared. Then if all that's not enough, a 64 yard FG attempt in a OPEN AIR Stadium is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, and McManus was NOT as close as some are saying he was. Try 3+ yards short and wide left.
It really is wild to have done this. I guess I could get it if the dude has made 60+ yarders before. Even then it would be a stretch. But the idea you would rather try a 64 yarder than put the ball in the hands of the guy you just mortgaged the franchise for is wild.
Dude, don’t feel bad for them. I worked down at the Market all day Monday and there were so many of them out, with their stupid orange jerseys, and they all thought they had an easy one, a gimme, like we owed them one. Nope. Take those ugly jerseys back to Colorado
Rodgers won a SB??? Oh yeah, it was so long ago I don't remember! I actually can't remember the last time he won a game any game that was meaningful!!!
It's weird how Rich Eisen never once speculates that these otherwise inexplicable endings might be the result of pre-determined games. Even though it's the most obvious conclusion.
Can’t Hackett will be Adam Gase 2.0. His resumes in Buffalo and Jax were terrible and he didn’t call plays in GB with Rodgers, just like Gase with Manning in Denver
As a Broncos fan, I'm already regretting the hiring of Nathaniel Hackett. Broncos' management messing things up again with this signing. Dude did not play any starters during the preseason and it showed during game 1. Then HC messes up with the 4th quarter game management.
As a Seahawk fan who thought they should have stuck with the Super Bowl winning QB in his prime instead of Pete Carroll, this game couldn't have worked out better for me. I appreciate what russell did for us but there is no universe where I can get behind him in a donkeys uniform. What a hysterical ending. Thanks for the laughs denver.
Just because you may be a good/great offensive or defensive coordinator doesn't mean you're going to be a good/great head coach. I agree with a previous comment. If Hackett is scared of the moment after week 1, its only going to get worse. This was why the broncos traded to get Russell Wilson ????
If ever I need someone to tell bedtime stories to my grandkids, I want Rich!...lol. Cadence, pauses, delivery, he's got it all. But seriously folks...all I can say to Hackett is WTF. You had your timeouts. Russ could've threw or ran. What it boils down to is which has a better chance of success, a 64-yd field goal from someone who's never kicked one before, or Russ Wilson making a 6 yd. play, who's made those MUCHO times before? What really galls is McManus BARELY missed it. If Russ had managed to get 6 yards closer, that kick would've been good. I know hindsight is 20/20 but Hackett won't be having beers with three strangers named Logic, Odds, and Precedent after the game.

LAUGHED. And cheered their Team! Take THAT, NFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I see something like this I always think I missed something. I didn’t. The ball needed to be in Russ’s hands. Elite quarterbacks handle business. I know this was a new HC but he seemed rattled with the clock too. I hope he calms down and never make this dumb move again. Asking a kicker that’s never made the yards before to win the day.

Yes, Nathaniel Hackett's Team/Time management was not good. Why bother to call that last T.O.? Hoping for a miracle? All THAT did was EXTEND THE AGONY of a BAD CALL!!!
And Seattle, CRAZY with JOY.... LAUGHED. And cheered their Team!
Take THAT, NFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good bashing, Rich. If there is a next time, I bet he will do it different. Denver should have won that game. The Seattle curse, LIVES !
$250 million well spent.
Maybe if it was 260 he would've actually called a timeout in a timely manner not wait 30 seconds to call it lol
Wow! I guess I never realized how annoying Rich Eisen is. This was really annoying.
Maybe these scenarios will force ignorant casuals to realize that the head coach runs the football team and the QB doesn't.
Elite qbs do call those timeouts but I do agree with you
A-fucking-men. Denver was/is NOT "just a QB away."
This guy proved night 1 he’s not HC material. Good luck, Denver.
hotseat week 1 broncos coach. so much missed opportunity there.
When I see something like this I always think I missed something. I didn’t. The ball needed to be in Russ’s hands. Elite quarterbacks handle business. I know this was a new HC but he seemed rattled with the clock too. I hope he calms down and never make this dumb move again. Asking a kicker that’s never made the yards before to win the day. Stunningly stupid.
Overall play calling was horrible!! Why pay RW if your not going to use him?
