everyone needs to get off this last 2 minutes crap, holmgren did nothing wrong. he was letting his players play. qbs audible all the time, what, you think he supposed to look over at holmgren and say "please coach , can i audible ? please, pretty please. can i" ?

So, your argument for Holmgren coaching a perfect game is "Don't talk about things he screwed up"? If the team can't perform even remotely functionally in the 2 minute offense, that is on the coach.

Holmgren did a good job in the first 28 minutes. The last 32 are another story entirely.

did i ever say he coached a perfect game ? i don't think i ever said that. what i did say was that holmgren had a good gameplan that was screwed up by bad officiating and poor play from his TE.
in my opinion, holmgren made two mistakes that really stood out to me,
1- i did not like that he called a running play at the end of the 1st half with little time left on the clock. (this was the play right before the one were hasselback kept trying to audible and as a result wasted a ton of time)
2- i did not like holmgrens decision to punt the ball back to the steelers with around 6 minutes left in the game.

other than that, i don't recall any real bad decisions by holmgren. maybe there are a few i forgot, can you point out any others ?

My apologies - somehow I missed your earlier clarifications. I was mistaken in what you said about the 58-59 minute thing.

I'm not conceding the point, of course!

As each day passes, though, I forget more and more about a game that I really didn't care about to begin with. So, I'll end it with:

HTTR!
