I have never seen more poor coaching decision in one weekend in my time being a football fan. This weekend was truly horrible.
GM Andy Reid - Body of work earns him an executive position.
HC Gibbs - Consecutive timeouts. You gotta know the rules as a HC in the NFL. Bad as it gets.
OC Payton - (I know he's a HC in reality, but not on my staff) A reverse in the final game killing drive. Players were obviously not prepared to execute it. There's a time and a place, this wasn't it.
DC Ryan - Rushes 3 on the Pats final drive. Calls and is credited a TO he technically isn't allowed to call. Bet Ray Ray made him cry in the locker room.
Each of these calls "cost" the team a win (as much as any single play can). Horrible to see supposed professional had the opposition wins with completely amateur moves.

Gotta be my QB coach! 7 runs all game. 3 until the final minutes.Missed him.
He's an EXCELLENT Defensive coordinator and anytone listing him as a "mental midget" is practicing 20/20 hindsight. Brady has probably run that QB sneak 100 times and that's the first time I can recall him being stopped. So please stop with the crap about how "if you trust your D..." That's complete B.S.!! It was (to that point) THE MOST IMPORTANT PLAY OF THE GAME. I agree with Billick that if they don't call the TO and the Pats get the first down everyone would be screaming "WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL A TO TO MAKE SURE THE D WAS SET FOR ANYTHING THE PATS WOULD DO?" Please, let's look at the situation, NOT just the result. As for him calling a TO he's not allowed to call. My guess is that this probably happens more than we recognize and that at worst he wouldn't be granted a TO (i.e. he wouldn't be penalized - so there's no harm in trying). Lastly, with reagrd to rushing only 3 DL on the final drive....it almost worked, didn't it? how many more 4th downs can one defense force? again, I think you are calling into question the decsion based solely on the results (i.e. they lost). This looked to me to be the right way for Baltimore to attack NE on that final drive.
