Why would we do this. Another 3 points for no reason. The tone of this game was the first false start we had. Good opening drive, in plus territory, and we have a 1st and 10 near the 35. False start, and then an interception. That is the way it has gone. ZERO fire from this team today.

And I am the ONLY one who realises this guys doesnt deserve to be a HC.

He needs to hand over the playcalling to Haley. It's like he's so worried now about clock management that he's not even thinking about what plays he should call. This is just horrible playcalling.

I have no problem with that call. You are down 24-7 on the road against a good team in a hostile environment. If we recover it could really change the momentum. If we would have recovered it you would all be saying that the coach has NADS of steel and that it was a genius call. We didnt and it sucked. But you have to try something to change the way the game is going.

Yeah, I don't have a problem with him trying something. Besides, the defense COULD have stopped them. I do think that there is probably a higher recovery rate on onsides kicks, so maybe that would've been better.

Besides, if he was thinking "kick it away, and play safe" he would've kicked the FG on 4th down instead of going for it.

This is why I love Whiz as our coach. At least if we are going to get blown out he will try to take some chances. Do something, hell do anything. But don't just stand there looking clueless and helpless like every other one of our past coaches when this used to happen at least once a month.
