I mean, Rhule is responsible for it as well but we are talking about the same Special Teams coach that didn't have any form of backup plan in case the kicker got hurt. Even worse, it was revealed that our Punter literally had no experience placekicking which means unlike many other teams they didn't even take a tiny bit of time to practice just in case poo happened. I can see the firing for sure.

This is not unusual.  You know the previous punter that Rhule brought in?  Charlton?  Yea, he never place kicked either . . . even in high school.  Just a punter.

If you've never kicked before, I really understand.  It's the same thing right?  Man, it could not be more different.  Like, Deonte Brown under center different.

Finally, a backup plan?  Really?  Neither of these kickers was even on our roster in week 1.  Blackburn had his hands full getting two bottom of the barrel specialists to perform at an acceptable NFL level.  WHICH HE DID.  Where was the time to get either ready to do the other job?  They were NOT GOOD when they arrived here, otherwise they would have been on a roster.

This just reeks of "same old Rhule" looking for anyone to blame other than himself.  He needs a "win" to make himself look good.  That's all this was.

Damn right a backup plan. You should ALWAYS have a plan in case something happens to the kicker. It just felt oh so wonderful hearing the announcers joke and laugh about us as they showed us holding on the field tryouts and then settled for a WR to kick the ball. Like I said, they BOTH get blame for that poo since it is the coaches job to think of and be prepared for these types of situations.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
