2 Qualms with the loss
1) Not going for it on 4th and 1 and missing that 50 yarder. I guess hindsight is 20/20, but I felt we really should have thought about that with a "nothing to lose" attitude.
2)Giving up FOUR long bombs to TO, 3 of them were pretty much the exact same play. I realize ST wasn't there and all, but GW is a smart man and our players are decent enough to not get beat by the same player the same way 3 times. I really wouldn't mind Witten or Crayton getting a big TD over the middle, but you can't leave TO that open so many times. This really falls on GW. I am sure with ST back that will be less of an issue, but still it is unacceptable. Point two really hurts me just because I know GW is better than that. On a whole I am just hurt because I know we could have won the game. My hat is off to JC for an awesome game and for Saunders/Gibbs for growing a pair and letting JC do more in the offense. We should run no-huddle more in beginning of the game. Also please NO Debbie-downers. I do not mean for this to be a pessimistic thread. No "Gibbs/GW should be fired" "we suck" etc etc. And if you want to mention another point, just back it up. I will negative reputation the hell out of you guys if you ruin this thread by being pessimistic and posting crap  . That is all.

Re: 2 Qualms with the loss
Well, we stayed away from shooting ourselves in the foot for the most part, minus that pass interferance penalty. We could have beat a better team because of it. Can't really complain about injuries, shit happens.

Re: 2 Qualms with the loss
I'm gonna get alot of heat.. BUT I don't blame the coaches for the skins' loss...
instead: Campbell: key interception late in the game which basically lost it for us.. Suisham: missing the field goal that would have made the deficit 2 points (and we would have kicked a field goal.. Secondary: Player mistakes NOT the scheme led TO to a big game.. |

Re: 2 Qualms with the loss
Yeah with the exception of the 50 yard attempt I have no problems with how the coaches managed the game. In fact I thought they managed the clock exceptionally.

Re: 2 Qualms with the loss
Dallas is just on fire right now, but i do think if we had ST we would have won! JC looks better and better every game

Re: 2 Qualms with the loss
I'm still struggling with the whole "if ST was back" reasoning. I do think he would have helped the secondary, but I still think it is an excuse. how can a coach let the same player be wide open, and beat us the same way 3 times? If someone can convince me not to be upset at GW, go for it because I am trying damn hard.

Re: 2 Qualms with the loss
The one and only coaching call I didnt like was the feild goal of 50 yards. I said before the play started that we should either go for it, or punt it away. Again like you said hindsight is 20/20, but that was one that I really didnt like before and after the fact. I mean, were going to have bad plays/calls every game, so it is what it is. They're a very good football team...that was the type of effort I wanted to see against New England.
