"I looked over to the sideline out of the corner of my eye and saw the coaches saying, 'Throw it,' and they wanted, potentially, an audible, get to an actual pass play," he continued. "I thought they were saying if you just throw it by Jamison [Crowder], in the general area of Jamison, there's an eligible [receiver] in the area and there's no penalty."

Lets be clear on this, KC did not call an audible.
He did not run the play that was called which was a run.
He did not audible to a pass which he said he thought that's what the coaches wanted.
He chose option C and threw the ball on a play when his 10 teammates are expecting a run.
This is a mental fuckup on the level of Chris Webber and Leon Lett.

I put equal blame on Kirk and the staff for the miscommunication. You should know on the road with a loud crowd that speaking clearly is gonna be hard. Have a backup plan or signal so you don't need words.
