And your definition of irony is...

Note: Big Bird looked worse than Charlie Brown last night with that kick.

He was standing next to me during the first half. I didn't know him, but he was a good Falcon fan. The marketing guys came over and pointed to a perosn, and I thought it was going to be my roommate. Congrats to him!

Send a recruiter to his dorm room. See if we can talk him into a walk on next year.

He was not kicking into the wind either. He would have missed if he had to kick into the North endzone like bigbird did. That was not his fault at all. It was just another example of piss poor coaching like we have suffered through all season long.

Journey...you are dead wrong.
the only thing that is wrong with our coaching is the punt formation.

Last night going for the Fg was a good idea. he had a fair chance to make and he tried and missed.
If GB had opted to go for it, which in the conditions last night was equally dangerous and we did not make it, I promise that you or some other would have been pissed and said we have bad coaches because we went for it.

We played a great game last night, Miami played better and we lost.
It was great seeing us play in adverse and awesome conditions. That was one fo the best football games i have seen in the Doyt.
We did what we could...it would have been nice to see us break down to a wishbone or I...we might have more success but I know we dont practice it so.

next with 27 odd some veteran sophomores returning...I think nay will be sining praises...except for the punt formation.

MACMAN, I'll agree that attempting the FG was the right thing to do once it was 4th down from the seven. I think the frustration with the coaching in this situation is the three plays leading up to the FG. We seemed satisfied to be in a position to attempt a FG and didn't just go for the sure thing by scoring a TD. And the fact that the sideline reporter from ESPN said he talked to Ellis and Ellis wanted the ball on the left hash for the attempt yet we made no effort to get the ball on the left hash is troubling as well.

You are much dumber than I thought. And I thought you were pretty dumb to begin with...

Frustration with Coaching on that particular series:

1. Not getting it to the left hash, where the field was much much better.

2. Not coaching Ellis about how to kick the ball. He went full bore, when all he needed to do was plant softly and just swing thru it. It was only 25 yards. No one was talking to him at all. He is a freshman and I bet he doesn' have experience kicking in conditions like that.

My Frustration with the Coaching on that particular series:

1. Running the QB keeper on 1st and Goal. Not that it was the predictable keeper play, but the fact that it was a run play. On 1st and Goal from the 7 with 1 min. or so I would like to see Pass, RunorPass, Run-T.O. to set up the field goal.

After a completion to get the 1st and goal I would have liked to continue going to the air, slant route or the bubble thing for Corey. I just don't like the run on first down there and I said it at the time. . . .

The players I have talked are very frustrated and disappointed that the coaches cannot make the correct practice and game situation adjustments. This puts the players in a lose-lose situation, our opponent is trying to beat us along with coaches who are playing not to loose, versus calling plays that put them in situations to win. The players have truly lost all confidence in the coaches which is why we are headed in a downward spiral.
If I'm not mistaken is the same player who missed the block that allowed Miami to block the punt the same player who let the Temple player climb up him to make a spectacular block? If so, why is he still there? Again no adjustment.

You are correct that it was Lanning in both cases. In his defense, in the Temple game, he was hit late and suffered a concussion about 4 or 5 plays before the punt. He was in a stupor at the time. Someone should have recognized that and he should not have been out there for that reason.

In the Miami game, he just waved at the guy. Looked like he was stuck in the mud. Unacceptable.

OK, so we are struggling in the kicking game, so why not put your best blockers in the game at that time, seeing as though we have a frosh kicker wouldn't this help him? To put injured, weak or marginal blocking personnel in the game during this critical type of ST plays is called not coaching and not knowing you player’s ability. This was also the same mistake made at the very beginning of season against Wisconsin. Does anyone here see the trend other than me, or am I crazy. Why have we not improved or made adjustments with this situation. We all appear to be SOOO worried about the QB position but we are not looking at what has caused our losses, the defense and ST giving up big plays on a consistent basis.

The defense right now looks much more promising to me than the QB play.

You cannot say that QB play has not cost us this year. When Turner was struggling mightily earlier in the season, there were receivers running free all over the place while he danced around in the pocket. Some of that was probably due to the injury, but a lot of it was mental.

I agree with you that special teams has been a bigger problem, but not the defense. The D has kept us in a lot of games while the offense floundered.

For the record, I think the playcalling has been more detrimental to the QB play than anything else. I think we agree on that one.
