Default It is far past time for frank reich to be held accountable!

Say what you want, cloud it in multiple TO's, a missed short FG to win it, a dropped TD pass, terrible play by the RT, dumb penalty on Speed, refusal to take the points, and inexcusable futility with clock management.

While all of those things are certainly components, they roll back to a TEAM that is routinely unable to just do the routine things that put you in the W column vs the L.

That's the issue, how many games do we lament with statements like "Frank's this or that cost us this game"? How many, way more than should be. Yeah a coach blows a game here or there, it happens, tough damn job, gonna blunder here or there. Frank blunders over and over and over and we keep losing games to inferior opponents.

He just cannot prepare a team sufficiently. They are a reflection of him, and while not possible to put a single succinct statement together on what he is doing wrong, he just continues to prove time and time again he is not a good head football coach. Unprecedented to fire a coach after the first game of the season, but if not, this is just going to be another Frank Reich 8-9 win season where you look back and feel like we have good enough talent, we just can't get over the hump. He is not a get over the hump coach. He needs to go away right now.

I bet Ballard is saying a lot of those very things to Frank right now.

No, they should've re-signed Badgley.

Why can't the punter do kickoffs? He's really worse than Specs at it? Can there be anyone worse than a guy who kicks it off out of bounds on two crucial points in the game?

It is not so much a "weakass leg" as it is folding under pressure, regardless of the distance. The guy would probably miss a 25-yarder if it was a win-loss situation.

yea the kick was long enough, but it hooked right, looked like a screwball - he didn't get his foot on it right or something.

Even worse is Taylor had broken that defense a few more handoffs and he walks in for a TD again

A 33 yard FG straight down the middle should be an uncontested layup for one of the 32 best FG kickers in the world. If Specs isn't good enough to install faith that he will hit in then Frank needs to tell Ballard to bring in someone who will.
