Thoughts on the game

[footballdad]

waiting for footballdad to pounce on this one as there are plenty of opportunities to attack the coaching in this game

agree we weren't prepared for pressure Memphis put on Hicks and never made any adjustments

special teams are just a disaster

I agree the decision NOT to go for it on 4th down before the half gave the appearance of Chad waving the white flag

Really....that's how you spend your entire pathetic weekend.....tapping away on the keyboard......waiting for me?

Yes and thanks for entertaining me. No parting shots at the coaching staff today? They certainly left plenty of opportunities this week.

I would think the punt pretty much says it all, no?

Great game against Houston anyways.

Yeah that punt was mystifying. That is what you do if your team is pretty good. Showed a bit of cluelessness on Chads part.

Yea , I've thought for awhile now that his game management skills leave a lot to be desired. He also seems to get way to conservative the few times we've had a lead..........like he's playing not to lose, instead of trying to put the game away like Memphis did to us at the end of the first half.

Game management takes a few years of experience. Ask Jason Garrett.

Stop with the experience junk. Coach Morris has more experience than Coach Norvell has but he does not have the QB that Coach Norvell has.

Agree. Look at his pedigree. He knows how to call plays. His last stop was as the Offensive Coordinator at Clemson with a pretty prolific offense. He just needs the players.

[JasonB]

Calling plays isn't the same thing as game management. Jason Garrett made horrible calls on when to go for it and when to throw the replay flag his first few years with the cowboys; he is much better now. I'm not saying anything condemning or controversial. There are going to be some learning pains with a young staff. It is a tradeoff for the great, young recruiters.

I don't like where we are because the expectations increased with the victories.... but I will take where we are, compared to where we have come from.

The bottomly-est bottom?

I, uhhh, like bottoms...


Just not the ESPN Bottom 10. My hope is we are done with those days.

Wrong. Like I said Norvell has LESS head coaching experience than Morris. And Montegomery has the same. And they seem to be doing fine. So your argument does not apply here.

Right.

31-7 4th and 4 on their 35 and we punt? What? Morris quit in the second quarter. Disappointing.

I have to disagree with you on this one. Every coach does things that the fanbase isn't going to agree with. June Jones liked to throw low completion % bombs of 4th and short, which drove me crazy. I believe Coach Morris' statistical/analytical brain often defers to punting even when we have some momentum on our side because he's done the math. It's more conservative than I might like, but that's probably why I couldn't even get a job coaching a pee wee team.
