12 men on the field twice?

[cbully]

I believe it was a game changer.

 

 

After the half, the defense came out with a new attitude and looked like the defense in the first two games. They forced a 3 and out... and bam... special teams penalty, first down.

 

 

That completely deflated the defense just as they were getting a head of steam. Momentum lost.

it certainly changed the will of the team... it seems like we're ready to go be who we should be until a minor ridiculous error occurs. then its downhill... nevertheless all we have done wrong is correctable. If we get more points up on offense we should be better and more confident. makes you wonder how the team truly feels they are without Hardy. its a clear difference..... Hopefully Alexander is ready to ball out and spark that dline.

this happening once in a game at some point during the season is dumb and a bit embarrassing, but acceptable.

this happening twice in a season may show a lack of discipline.

this happening twice in one game shows you've got some major issues that need worked out at the top. it reflects poorly not just on the position coach that caused it to happen, but also on the HC who needs to do a better job of making sure his position coaches have their crap together.

i know that the coaching staff probably got torn a new one after the loss to the steelers and i can't imagine how bad it will be after this one. it wouldn't surprise me to see at least one head roll just as a warning to the others. your job is on the line. don't screw up again. get your players ready for the next game and make sure they are where they need to be and doing what they are supposed to be doing at all times. if they aren't, it's on you.

that penalty to start the 2nd half didn't lose us the game, but we had no shot at winning after that

Richard Rodgers should get a pink slip this morning. We hired DeHaven to baby sit him... might as well go ahead and give Bruce the job.

[Smith vs Lucas]

I think if we make the playoffs and get back hardy we will make a run.

[Cary Kollins]

Inexcusable. Those plays cost you a ball game. Heads should roll.

[mc52beast]

The NFL front office had a lot of input concerning Hardy. They were already taking a huge hit over Rice and didn't want Hardy on the field.

[pstall]

If the Colts can lose their head coach to cancer treatment and rally around the associate head coach surely this team has the fortitude and leadership to do the same.

[thennek]

Then that makes it two weeks in a row where we seemed to be on the cusp of a turning point, only to have the special teams unit let us down.  Who knows how those moments may have changed the games - Philly's phumble and the 12-man penalty yesterday.

 

Don't forget the Horton offsides on the field-goal attempt which gave the Steelers a 1st down, and they went on to score a TD.

i think/hope we see two coaching changes in the near future.

john ramsdell taking shula's place

bruce dehaven taking richard rogers place

The second change makes sense.  DeHaven has been a Special teams coordinator and has done a fine job.

 

Ramsdell has never been an OC at any level and never called a game in his life.  You don't replace someone who you don't think is a doing job with someone with no experience doing it at all. He has mostly been more than a wide receivers coach.
