Here's Why We Suck - Young Mistakes
-
1. No QB
2. No RB
3. Piss poor coaching

TCPO, you made a big mistake trying to actually discuss football with these pitchforkers. Calling them a bunch of idiots will get you alot more response

Nice write up. I agree with most with the exception of kicker. It's a pretty narrow skill requested and required. When you miss 3 within 2 games you are cut bait IMO.

I can recall early that Cody Parkey miss a few early in last season (especially the Miami game). Many thought he should've stayed and let Gonzales go. Rookie Kickers will make mistakes, you just have to live with it.

Parkey missed them when he showed up in Cleveland a day or two ahead of the first game he kicked in. Kicking is all about timing with the snapper and holder. Once he had the timing over the next week he was golden.
Gonzalez has worked with them for months. Inexcusable rookie or not in my book.

Take away one of these plays....any one of them... and this is a different game. Our inexperience is what led to our demise in this game. Not playcalling, not awful defense, not a bad HC. Youth. And it will happen again, because you can't feign experience.
Great as always my man, before I say my piece.
While youth made a lot of bad plays, Hue still made a Shmucking terrible decision to not take the three points on the goal line. I don't have the time (seriously) but it's something when I do about how many straight up objectively WRONG decisions Hue has made to cost us a chance at games.

He did, and I won’t argue that. He’s made plenty of questionable calls.
The thing is about 50% of the NFL coaching staff makes bad calls on a weekly basis. Reid is constantly called into question for his clock management. Fox is currently being chastised today for decisions from last night. Garrett too, for Sunday. Fisher, Carroll, Arians, Shanahan - all guys that have had notable issues with clock management.
For kicks, just type in “NFL poor clock management” in Google and look at the results, you’ll probably see most coaches mentioned at some point in the first 5 pages of results.
The thing is, Hue’s failures are exacerbated because we’re bad EVERYWHERE right now (save for maybe overall defense). When you have a young team that’s already shooting itself in the foot with turnovers and penalties, things like clock management gaffs are scrutinized even more because they’re harder to overcome.
I’m not giving him a pass by any means but I’m also not overly worried about it as it stands right now.

This is a really great article on the intricacies of clock management, with interviews from current and former head coaches and examples of Shmuckups across the board.

I'm an old guy & like an aging veteran NFL player, on my downside. I like these young players (like my Grandchildren)...They're on their upside & they have nowhere to look but up & forward. We, as Fans, need to be looking WITH them & supporting them in that upward journey.
The plan is right...TO the future, not IN the past. Better days are ahead.

So you don't think there any Kickers that started out "not so good", but ended up having a good career? Give the kid a chance.

Ah yes... I can still hear that golden ringing when he hit the upright in Miami... twas lovely... one of three he missed that day. Vaguely remember him hitting the upright twice, but maynbe not. Anyway at the end of that day he'd missed three of the five he missed between 40-49 yd on the season.
Also seem to recall us passing up a FG try or four of 40+ during the season because we knew his limitations.
