He doubled down on it this morning after watching film and I think that's when they said that's the final straw lol. 

He had 30 plus seconds left and a timeout, with the ball on the 40 yard line.  His kicker had the leg to make it from that distance.  How anyone could defend that is beyond me.  Just man up, admit you screwed up and move on.

They had a TO. Wtf were any of them thinking? Rhetorical of course since they obviously weren't.

The fact that Caleb acknowledges that they had one timeout before he goes into depth acting like he basically had no option but for a deep shot? lol.  I'm pretty sure the coach said the initial call was to try and get a little gain from an inbound pass and call time out so they could kick it at a little better distance. At the end of the day since Caleb was in over his head and panicking the coach should have called the time out and just tried the long field goal which I think would have been around 60 and even the screen flashed that their guy had kicked I think 64 yards before.

    • Well first, it's not really fair to say the defense was bad even with DB in there, he played one game for us this year. But if we're at #5, it means one of the 2 QB's, T-Mac, Hunter, or Johnson would be there and I can't see any reason to take a DT when any of them are available.   We take one of the 3 players or trade back for someone who wants one of the QB's, and that's how you pick up the extra 1st in a trade.  Even if the QB's are gone and so is T-Mac/Hunter and for some reason we didn't want Johnson, you could still trade back to the 10-12 range and probably pick up another 2nd in that draft and probably another 2nd or 3rd in 2026 as well, which would likely be worth it. If we lose out, we're likely picking 4th at worst, if we win 1 more game, we still have a very real shot at picking #5 given the remaining schedules of all the teams in that range right now (they still play each other a lot and have to pick up wins because of it). The ideal situation would be we somehow end up with say the #2 or #3 pick and the Raiders end up #4.  We swap picks with them while getting their 2026 1st so they can take one of the QB's, Hunter goes #3, and then we end up getting T-Mac at #4 while also picking up a future 1st. That is a very real possibility of happening if we lose out as the Raiders still play the Jaguars at home, and if we end with a tied record, we'll get the higher pick as they have a much tougher SOS. The Jags play the Titans twice, Jets, Raiders, Cots, if we lose out and they win just 1 of those games, we're probably picking ahead of them as right now they have the higher SOS.  The Patriots actually might beat the Bills in the final game of the season as the Bills could be locked into the 2 seed by then and have no reason to play their regulars. If those things happen and we lose out, we're picking 3rd at worst.  If the Raiders also beat the Jags out of that, we're picking 2nd behind the Giants. The Patriots losing out and taking T-Mac #2 instead of trading back with someone who wants a QB or taking an OL or Hunter is the big wrench in things.  Besides that, losing out puts us in the driver's seat to take T-Mac, possibly even after a trade back as well.
    • I would presently take the much younger Bryce over the 30 year old  Winston and his interceptions, the main reason  teams  let him go and try finding another QB.
