    I honestly think Jimmy would have kept Hue and just fired Haley. I bet Dorsey had to fight tooth and nail to get Hue canned as well.

    One of the two had some sense.

    I think the Haslams finally got fed up and let the GM call it. Then they had Dorsey set up the interim staff. I think they realize that they have the guy now that will run the team competently.

  • That's a solid point, Flying. If the players are believing in the person calling the plays, they're going to be more engaged. And I also think the success feeds on itself. The more we succeed, the more we'll EXPECT to succeed. It's also interesting that we don't really have a particular "go-to guy", ya know? Sure, we obviously want to run the ball with Chubb, but we don't necessarily target anyone excessively in the passing game now, whereas in the past we would throw it to Jarvis 15 times a game. 

    The one thing I'd say for Kitchens is that he needs to learn how to better call plays with a lead. Perhaps he did just fine and the second half was simply the normal ebb and flow of the game, but we seemed a bit choppy offensively, and I want to say the same thing happened against the Falcons. Additionally, he hasn't quite mastered the art of the trick play yet, and when to call them. I'm not sure our FG kicker would've made the long kick today, but he called a reverse on a 3rd and 7 while we were in FG range, and it cost us a chance at getting 3 huge points. Now, a part of me was actually GLAD we had to punt because our punter is lights out, and I don't trust our kicker, but still...it's another trick style play that yielded poor results for us. 

    All that being said, the failed reverse wasn't completely on Kitchens. Why? The Cincy safety was obviously blitzing on the play. He was at the line and foaming at the mouth. We didn't have a blocker to account for him. Baker HAS to see this and take a timeout or alter the play. This has happened several times this year, and it's a reminder that Baker is a rookie, and far from a finished product. Regardless of how amazing he can be at times! 

  • Having the QB and play caller working together and communicating about what plays work and what don’t or even what plays the QB is more comfortable with is priceless. Huever and Holey sucked in that regard. Well pretty much all regards.

    I agree 100% the playcalling was run, run, run when the focus should have been to acquire a few first downs. It was the safe thing to do, with a back up QB playing but a play action call on 2nd or 3rd would have been nice.

    The 3rd and 7 trick play wasn’t executed well, I believe Njoku missed his assignment and he blew it up. I’m happier them calling that play up 15 then in a tie game at some point in the 4th quarter on first down(what Todd Haley was doing)

  • All you Hue apologists and whatever the fuck else....shut the fuck up.. screw that dude and haley and everyone else that's not on board.

    Lol please tell me where you are seeing Hue apologists in this thread. 

  • This look from Baker after kicking the Bengals asses really tells you how he feels about Hue. Not a hint of a smile.

    No where never should there be. Any discussion of hue outside of us shitting on him on the sidelines should be immediately banned and thrown in the trash. Enjoy some winning football and quit with this shit.

    Rule #1: Nobody on this board defends Hue.  Not even ghoolie has that much imagination.

    Rule #2: If you think a post is defending Hue, it's probably somebody's bad attempt at sarcasm that they didn't color pink.  See Rule #1.

    Nope, sorry. Completely wrong. Hue was boss. It all rested on him and ended with him. We sucked horribly before holey and it only continued with him. Hues mess. Hues responsibility. Time to board to bus and run the pinhead over

    But Baker said directly that "we now have confidence in the people we have calling plays".....and it was Haley who was calling plays.  So....at worst, it was directed at both Hue and Haley....but I see it more at Haley.  So, sorry, you are wrong...at least partially.
