Jones on McDermott INTs: "Wind was rough. Thought that had more to do w it than anything." To be fair, when I was on sideline wind was RIDIC

Really? Thats real mature. Lets Bash on a kid who has been playing hurt all season and say he needs a psychologist. These are not professional athletes.

I was a D1 college athlete, his body language was bad, he's had a rough go of things recently. I saw a sports psychologist while I was playing. There is no shame in it, they aren't there to help you get over embarrassing problems, they exist to help you be mentally tough. Alabama has one on the sidelines at most games and he's on their coaching staff. I would argue that the person who sees the psychologist is, in fact, more mature.

As for the kicking, conditions were bad but so were both the kicker and the punter. Just calling it like I see it. You are right about the miss because of the snap but the PAT miss was shameful.

I agree but that was a different kicker Loftus 99 was in on the PAT that was missed. Namdar was 3/3 on PATS

Wind was not a factor in the club.

Clearly. A professional would not have played 18 holes of golf on Wednesday of this week at DAC

He would have been watching film in prep for this game.

Lights, wind, lack of IPF, lack of tutoring, lack of surrounding talent, UFOs, winter solstice....

I had not factored in winter solstice. This confuses and angers me.

maybe we PF's should start a supportive letter writing campaign to him telling him how wonderful we think he is and how much confidence we have in him.........if he sees it and reads it enough, maybe he will believe it....
