Two calls that hurt

[drunkernhelldawg]

1. Not taking the penalty. We were so desperate for the endzone that we give up a down for two yards. Only a good call if a QB sneak is the next play. It was not.

2. Punting from the 35. Try the dang field goal or go for the first down. This **** is wearing thin.

Those are on the coaches. The players showed a lack of discipline and concentration on several plays. The false starts in the red zone. The sideways snap. The missed blocks. The missed tackles. This team is not playing football. They are putting on uniforms and screwing around. They better get it together, top to bottom. They are embarrassing us.

Another thing is that this quarterback platooning has a lot of negatives to overcome. I think we need to stick with one guy. I'm not sure who that should be.

It's true we gained a lot of yards and had some good plays. It's true that we got a lot of bad bounces. But we deserved those bad bounces for not making plays. It's hard, but we need eleven guys out there stepping up and playing football. And we need the person calling the offensive plays to stop making bonehead calls like the ones I cited at the top of this post.

I am sure that others have posted similar thoughts already today. But I wanted to throw in my two cents in my own words. So I'm not sorry for the repetition.

Go Dawgs. I mean it, damnit.

I think i am gonna have to disagree a little. I think the entire problem is on the coaches, not just the two plays.

Those shitbags just simply can't coach. The players have no idea what the hell to do because it ain't being communicated to them in a way that they understand. Either it needs simplification or the dumbass coaches need to shut the hell up and let them be football players. i got a feeling these coaches are over-coaching in an attempt to force the players to execute. My opinion from watching these games is strictly that the coaches are incompetent buffoons. Just watch all the stupid **** these players screw up. I mean, they are not rocket scientists, stop expecting them to think. Put them in position and give them direction to react and play the game they have been playing all their lives.

We need some coaches up there that can do all that coach **** and then put these kids in a position to succeed and get out of the way and let them play. I see Carroll take a snap and I swear I see a Peeping Crooms on his shoulder telling him "Don't screw up, make the right decision, you got plenty time, HURRY THE HELL UP!!, oh yea and Don't Screw Up !"...

We were in the shotgun and Brignone thought we were under center according to Carroll. Croom said on the postgame show that Brignone told him that he held the ball a different way than he usually does. So Im hearing 2 different things about that one play. That shows we don't know what the 17 is going on.

I thought we were trying a direct snap to Elliot. Its the only thing that made sense. But the snap was way off and Elliot obviously wasn't looking for it so who knows.

I think his gut was just trying to tell him he needed to take a ****.

A lot of things ticked me off saturday, but the thing that ticked me off the most was how we ended the first half. Nice drive in a pressure situation when scoring is a must. We get down to the 7 yard line with one minute remaining and 1 timout. I was wondering how we would 17 up, but 2 consecutive false start penalties? Hell, after the first false start, we played hop scotch in the huddle for 20 $%# seconds before we even realized the clock was running. Croom? Was he in the nacho line at this point? We went from the 7 yard line, 58 seconds, and one timeout to the 17 (the number, not word), 30 seconds, and no timeouts without running a play. How in the hell do you achieve that? Being down 21-7 at the half would have been nice. And by the way, the second false start came after a timeout. I would rather have Jerrell Powe represent me in a court room than our coaching staff in the red zone.

Down 21-0 coming out of the locker room, Croom stated that "we just got to get one more than they got". That phrase works at the beginning of the game, or even in a tie. But when down 21, it leaves you 20 short.

That, and we punted from the 34 again.
