Why didn't they let Eddy try a 63 yard FG to end the half?

[oxrageous]

We all know damn well he can make it from there, especially Butters, who sees him practice every day. So why not let him try with 4 seconds left? Because of the 1 in 2 million chance they block it and return it for a TD?

Have some freaking confidence in your players for once, Mac. Makes me want to puke.

Discuss.

Because our coaching staff touches themselves at night

 

[Zambo]

Because Mac eats paint chips. That is why.

 

[MidwestChomp]

Too risky. Mac doesn't like to score too many points.

 

[oxrageous]

This is a question that needs to be asked of him, very pointedly and specifically, at the post-game conference. Those spineless weasels will sit there and say nothing.

 

[diehardg8r]

He's an idiot and on some sort of mood altering drug IMO.

 

[AugustaGator]

Did you see Mac yell at the RB coach because the RB went down after a yard? That's what happens when you practice it!

 

[-THE DUDE-]

Because he's a bad coach?

So you think if UF ended up with 20 points, aTm would not have ended up with 21+? Ha!

 

[oxrageous]

If you aren't going to kick, at least try a rainbow into the end zone. Instead we throw down the middle of the field for 20 yards, a play that was useless even if it was completed, which it wasn't.

This staff is terrible at everything, but they are a special kind of stupid when it comes to clock management.

 

[oxrageous]

He's honestly trying to tell us that was outside of Eddy's range?

Yup. Be careful what you ask for. Bytch at a guy for scoring a TD to salt a game away...and next thing you know your "coaching" works on the guy and he's going to the ground after a small gain.

 

[MooseSmack]

OMG we need a real head coach!!

 

[KronoGator]

Despite the youtube videos I'm guessing they know Eddie can't really make anything beyond 50-55 yards.

Look at the XP's and kickoffs out of bounds, he's regressing.

 

[Alumni Guy]

Because he coaches like like a ( ; )

Shocking if true, especially since Nord is such a special teams genius.

 

[kepler]

They didn't try because it made sense to try. Kinda like always handing off 5 yards deep when you need 1 yard so the back has to pick up 6 - every time.

Please correct me if I am wrong about this situation, but I am almost certain we had ONE timeout remaining after Davis's long run. There is 10 seconds and we rush to the line. Now 10 seconds is not enough for 4 plays so I scream to spike it on first down and regroup, which would leave you with 8 seconds, which is enough time to try a 10 yard route, take the timeout (if they had it) and then try a FG. But no they call some HorseSHYT play and waste 4 seconds, which leaves 6 seconds. So you have 3 choices: A quick 5 yd out, a long FG, or a hail mary. So what does JACKA$$ do? a lob throw that even if complete would have run out the clock. Butters is just genuinely supremely stupid when it comes to game managment.

This was going to be my next thread. Incompetence.

butters is anti-excitement. The same way urban would always go for the throat and get the style points and try and cover the spread whenever he could, butters shuns that kind of thinking, and the thought of the emotional and momentum upside of eddy knocking down a 63 yarder never crossed his mind. Nor really, did scoring a TD, instead opting for a boring out route not likely to convert and not likely to maybe save a second to kick a boring field goal instead of something special that would have brought the house down right before the half. buttersball is an aimless, boring mess.
