We punted from the 33. 

That means the coach looked over at the kicker and decided that he'd rather just give the football to the other team than risk a 50-yarder. 

This was a sad and weird decision... But likewise if you know that you're in a part of the field where you traditionally would go for a fg but can't, I wish we'd played like we had 4 downs to get 10 yards.

I actually didn't hate that. Not fully trusting the kicker I'm sure factored into the decision. But pinning a rookie QB inside his own 5 yard line when the D-Line was absolutely abusing him all game seems like a pretty appetizing prospect. Force a turnover. Safety. Or at worst a 3-and-out and we get right possession of the ball right back where we left it.

Frankly I think Charlton isn't getting enough heat for botching a coffin corner punt so badly. Punting from the 33 to the 15???

Expecting perfect execution on every play is going to leave you a very unhappy person.

Nobody is freaking out. If any of the neck beards read correctly I said outside of a few years of Gano we have had very bad luck with choosing kickers. Yes he made 75% of his kicks today but if we are punting multiple times when we could’ve kicked 50+ yard field goals that the average NFL Kicker could make, I mean come on now even the staff didnt have confidence in him.

There's more to unpack in the decision making process of that one play than there was in understanding the Snyder vs Whedon JLA directors' cuts. 

Just all kinds of stuff swirling around there that will probably drive us crazy trying to interpret. In the end, it didn't matter. Probably best to just let it go and move on.

      Legette is a Luxury to the team.

      I think starting this week you gotta work in Tremayne out there.   You don't got to bench XL but Tremayne just seems to be clearly a better WR at this stage (despite XL having the physical tools).   I think waiting on Coker is malpractice.

      I agree completely.  I’m not absolving XL of his errors and shortcomings, but week 2 was definitely less an issue with him as it was QB and coaching/scheme.     It’s becoming abundantly clear, not just with XL, but with everyone on the offense, our coaches are not crafting a game plan to play to their players’ strengths, but rather they’re creating a game plan and then trying to fit guys into it where each position is treating each player as interchangeable and they’re not.  The breakdown I watched also discussed how no one expected XL to be destroying people with his route running coming out - that would have to be refined.  So, the poo we’re seeing, we can’t really blame him for.  He has gotten open enough often, but the passes are often off-target.  And he would likely excel more as a guy who can threaten with the deep ball to take the top off the defense, but we don’t have a QB that can throw that pass.
