Please Cut Specs

[IndyNorm]

While I don't disagree with you, Frank needs to own this as well with his complete shit show of decision making. All we needed was a FG to win the game and we had the ball at 2nd and 2 on their 16. TAKE A FUCKING KNEE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD AND LET SPECS KICK A 33 YD CHIP SHOT FOR THE WIN. Granted specs still should have been able to hit a 42 yarder from the right has, but if Frank wouldn't have been such a dumb fuck he wouldn't have had to.

Yep, fuck specs and Reich, both of them suck. Didn't want Specs back this year either. Sorry ass that he is.

Hey, hey, hey, back off!

I am sure Frank had his trusty play sheet there in front of him that said the 2nd down run call in that position yields 3.987 yards at 87.3% of the time so it was the right call, I'm sure, just ask him, I am sure he can tell you, in fact I am sure he would LOVE to tell you how correct it was. Oh, and even if it wasn't the right call, well usually someone on the staff would tell him it wasn't and they didn't tell him, so it must have been the right call.

As far as the roll out RPO option with your 37 year old QB on 3rd down in that spot. I am sure his analysts told him that it converts for a 1st down at a 95.876% rate so we just happened to fall into that rare 4.134% this time, but ya know, on paper it was the right call and we just didn't execute, so that's not on him, that's on the guys on the field that didn't do their jobs, so don't you be looking at him as a scapegoat.

Blanky-ship has the yips...if the kick is not critical, he makes it...if the kick has some pressure to it, he misses it REGARDLES OF THE DISTANCE.
He is going to cost us some games this year.

Seems to be an issue all over the league, except for about 5 kickers.

I don’t fault Frank for trying to improve his position for the kick. You could make a convincing argument that he did so BECAUSE he doesn’t have much faith in specs.

Bitch about the play call sure but I won’t fault the intent.

We need a kicker who can make a 42 yard field goal.

A 33 yarder straight down the middle is an uncontested layup for one of the 32 best FG kickers in the world. If Specs isn't good enough to do that then Frank needs to tell Ballard to bring in someone who can.

Edit: and Reich should have done it before the season started and it cost us a win.

Ballard should already know that. He watches the same games we do. Ballard is not without blame here.

Damn, as I type this Succop misses a 36 yard field goal. The Tits kicker missed a game winning field goal too. Like Racehorse mentioned, it seems to be a league wide problem outside of about 5 kickers.

Maybe, but Ballard does seem to get hard ons for some players: Banaogu, Campbell, and apparently Blankenship. Reich should check him on that.

If Ballard has a hard on for Blankenship, then he needs to go too. Reich may be afraid of Ballard though.
