6-6 at Half, poor Chuck cant do anything right. He does what every Coach does which is freeze the Kicker but when he does it Gould misses haha 

Well that's 50/50.  I've also seen him freeze a kicker and have it work earlier this season.  As much as I want Chuck gone, I'm not going to ride on him for that one.

Curious, what do the stats show about "freezing" the kicker?

 

My opinion is that you should not give the kicker 2 attempts at a field goal. Even if the first one doesn't count, he can make adjustments on the second kick.

 

This is why I have always disagreed with the people that say that the rule should be changed to prevent icing the kicker.  It is not an advantage either way.  It's a 50-50 crap shoot.  If the coach wants to play that game, fine.  If you're a good kicker, you just treat the first one as a practice kick.

I actually was defending Chuck for the freeze because every Coach does it. I was just mocking the fact it backfired out of sarcasm.

6-6...So was that our one good half or bad half of football? :thinking:

 

haha Well historically they start out slow in the Pagano era, but this year it has been the opposite.  Sloppy second half football so I guess we are in for a real treat!!

Colts are so boring to watch without Luck but I am diehard fan so will watch anyway hoping for wins but that first Half was Toilet Bowl material.

Well at least they have somewhat of an excuse right now.  If they continue look like this when Luck first gets back (due to rust ) the no Luck excuses will ring hollow.

    • Bowers appears to be a better blocker than Mallory and Granson, but I agree that his position is a move TE.   All of our guys are prospects, in that, they did not have a tremendous amount of D1 college production.  Their upside is still  speculative.  Bowers is showing against SEC competition that he can play the NFL position right away....I put him in the category of Nelson, who we knew could step in and start day 1 and play well (not play to the same level as Nelson as a rookie though).      Yes. I'd use a top 10 pick on a guy that can beat three other guys (a cover guy then two tacklers) and score TDs or get FDs, over using that pick on a G, for example.   If next year's TE group was Bowers, Woods (blocking), Ogletree, and Granson or Mallory....I think that would be a big upgrade to the TE room.  And Mallory could possibly be rostered as a (bully slot) WR if we upgraded the talent at the top of that roster at some point.   BTW, I don't want to talk draft at this point, just in the context of the TE room quality.  They are all young and speculative, IMO.   Enjoy the season  
    • Things will fall apart if Kelly doesn't play. And we know that we have 2 cornerbacks that mentally will have failures.  Pierce will get a shot or two. I hope one hits.
    • I think he wants a mobile-ish QB like Wentz but settled for statues Rivers and Ryan.  If he was not leading the charge for Young, he may not have many plays that he thinks are a good fit for him.  Frank has had a problem molding plays to the QBs strengths, I agree, but part of the problem is that he hasn't had QBs that have very many strengths.  Young has few strengths being a two game rookie.   Its odd that Frank took out Young on sneaks and put in Dalton.  He must see something about Young (physicality?) that is limiting....which may be either wise or off-base.
    • The problem is for Franks QB system to work, you need an OL that can maul the DL every down and I just don’t see that happening in todays NFL. Plus Frank seems to be the type of mold the QB to fit the system, not mold the system to fit the QB’s strengths. No matter who the QB was over those 5-6 years, it was the same plays, same system and honestly that’s the problem in Carolina. 
    • I agree.  I would say a big commonalty is the play of the QB.  Our last two QBs are now out of the NFL....shows the quality there.  I do think Frank's coaching system is outdated, it happens to coaches, but I also believe that part of the problem is CAR's QB too.  The system seems to work with only a certain type/quality of QB.  And needs two dog WRs, something Frank never had here and doesn't have at CAR.  It is odd that the lack of talent on the offensive side of the ball is common to what we had here too.
