Terrible terrible coaching decision.

I just don't understand. You gave them about 17 yards in field position for that FG instead of pushing them out of FG range and trusting your damn defense to make a play.

Neither the O or D coordinator is looking good today. The play calling when we had fourth and goal was questionable. On fourth and eight we don’t pressure the QB.

Maybe this is just a wasted year until the new stadium is open for a new coaching staff.

Add the head coach not accepting that penalty and handing them an easy field goal to make it a two-score lead when your offense has struggled and you don’t get the ball to start the second half.

Why not take the holding penalty and push them out of FG range? No faith in the D? Pretty soft.

The program has not had a true outsider come in and give it a top to bottom evaluation and rethinking since Randy Walker arrived 25 years ago. It's time.

I mean... Braun is an outsider. He just has no experience at all.

Sort of. I mean, the way he got the job and spent his first year with Fitz's staff.... I get it. But I just never got the sense he was bringing in a fresh set of eyes because he was always playing catchup. It feels like he is running Fitz's program/system. I just think we need a Barnett-like reassessment.

Did Luhan just pick up the playbook Bajakian left on the office desk? Every run just up the middle. No misdirection. Just slamming them up the middle over and again. If Himon is one of the fastest players in the league as they said, why is there nothing designed to get him in space? Just slamming him up the middle over and again.

Well, we have an official problem now. We might not win a single game with a QB throwing the ball this recklessly. Not sure what the coaches do. Their jobs depend on the decision.

Subpar talent and quite a bit subpar coaching. This will be a long season and then a fresh start in 2026.

F minus minus for everybody on that. Braindead throw away and unathletic attempt by Wilde to fight for the ball. He’s clever but not an impressive athlete. Our continued conservative style and embarrassing WR room continues to be QB poison.

And there you go. Defense wilted in the heat after Stone left them for dead. Just completely embarrassing in every way.

Turn your eyes to the home-team sideline and see if we can find our next coach.

Our defense looks B-A-D.
