Just re-watched the game and these plays/penalties cost us the game

[Darknight]

What? No mention of the 4th and inches play? I'm surprised.

Punting was the right call IMO... We were on on our 35 with the lead. The risk/reward was not worth going for it until you look at it in hindsight and assume we would have converted.

Im waiting for the coaches Film to come out. Will give a better prospective of who did what wrong.

I agree with you. Coaching was not the reason we lost Sunday. I was just making a snide comment because mostly everyone was calling Rivera a pussy for not going for it.

Im not the smartest person or the one to bet. But your out your fugging mind if you think Deangelo won't cut up next week. I expect to see a mini AP. Same for Olsen

To me, the first drive, 1st and 10, Cam hits Olsen down the right sideline. Olsen drops it. We were driving. Next play DWill gets 4. 3rd down Olsen gets 4, and we punt.

Olsen catches that 1st down pass and the drive is almost in field goal position. To me, that was big.

Olsen had way too many drops. But that first one was huge. It may have set the tone for the game had we kept that drive alive.

Josh Thomas' coverage on that deep play by Seattle was great. He was in as good of position as you can expect against a deep route. The problem on that play was Godfrey's lack of ability to get over the top of that route. When you have deep safety coverage, everything coming back to the QB is your direct responsibility and everything deep goes to the safety. Thomas was draped on him and even got his hand in the play, but Godfrey should have been over the top to deflect, hit, or intercept.

 

When you know your safety is supposed to be over your head, it gives you permission to cheat a bit towards the comeback route. Thomas didn't have the pure speed to catch up, but it wasn't his play. It was Godfrey's. I thought Thomas was a bright spot all game and Ginn's decision to call poison on that punt was ridiculous. You don't let a ball hit the ground on that position on the field even if you do see it bouncing backwards. You run down field trying to block for a punt returner and the ball hits the field and bounces up to hit you when you're diagnosing your block. It's a bad bounce that could have been avoided with a fair catch.

As far as the punt is concerned.... Looked like Ginn sorta froze instead of calling a fair catch and trying to field the ball.

As far as Olsen is concerned, he had 3 bad drops. However we all have bad days though.

Not sure but seems like the players didn't like the idea of holding on to A. Smith.

I'm disappointed with the loss but I feel good about the direction of the team. Only thing is when you control both lines of scrimmage... you expect a win. Mistakes did us in!

That drop Olsen had where Cam split the defenders was an amazing throw.  The only person that touched it was Olsen and he Fugging Dropped it.  Cam's throw to Smitty was another laser.

Beat me to it on the punt .... Ginn has to fair catch and field the kick.

Godfrey wasn't supposed to be covering the deep route on that play. That he ended up almost getting over there is a testament to him, it wasn't his assignment.

Unfortunately, it was his assignment. He was the centerfielder on that play. You can't even see him on the replay because he was so far back at the snap. He had everything behind the CBs. He was playing a zone. Take a look at the replay and tell him which guy that went downfield was his man. From the replay, it looks like it was Norman covering Tate, Munnerlyn covering Williams, and Thomas covering Kearse. Luke had the middle of the field on intermediate throws. Godfrey had over the top help on any route his hash mark and over. He simply didn't get there.

It was a great catch, they made the plays. The D played well enough to win, the ST and Offense was the demise... Especially with penalties, drops and turnovers.

[SevyDamus]

Josh Thomas was in really good position don't understand all the hate. Only thing he could of done better was locating the ball. His other bone headed plays yeah, but shouldn't be taking so much slack for that play.
