Slocom has has to be gone after yesterday. GONE!
Simple as that.
Don't remember witnessing a collapse like we saw on Sunday. Course I don't remember witnessing a ****ing successful "On-Side PUNT" like we saw against Detroit a few weeks ago. ....or 7 blocked kicks in one season.
Multiple ST gaffs in one game. Buffalo turns the game with a kick return. Constant screw ups by this guy.
Get rid of this loser.
At that point in the game three points doesn't help the Seahawks that much and the Packers simply should have conceded the FG. Special teams have been a disaster all year and I guess it's not that surprising that they cost the Packers the game. MM is ultimately responsible for sticking with Slocum and failing to get the problem sufficiently fixed.
Brad Jones actually made a terrific special teams play on the forced fumble that gave the Packers a chance to really put some distance between them and the Hawks..
The field goal is 100% on the coaching staff…and primarily Mike McCarthy…how you don't drop two safeties and keep corners outside on that play is unbelievable…A field goal in that situation is meaningless….if you align the defense correctly on that play, Seattle is forced to call a timeout and then they bring the offense back on the field…maybe they get the first down, maybe they don't, but there was never a question about kicking a f*****n field goal.
Chewy was on homer and gabe yesterday and he said that it was 100% on coaching. They should have been playing a "kick safe" and were not. I don't know what a "kick safe" play is, but it sounds a lot better than going for the fn block!
I don't blame jones for this, apparently going for the block was part of the plan and he was executing as best as he could. I don't even blame hawk too badly, although he should have quickly realized that he was the last line of pass defense on that side.
The player I blame is #31, house comes off the edge without even noticing that the fake is happening, it's as if he didn't even think it could happen. House could have ended that play right after Ryan pulls up with the ball. He was right there to make the tackle but instead takes like 2 or 3 more steps towards the kicker before realizing what was even going on.
But really it all came down to having the right play call and alerting everyone involved that 3 pts don't matter, stop the first down or the TD at ALL COSTS!!! Primary Responsibility!
In a game filled with questionable decisions and player mistakes, this one play was by far the most glaring mistake of them all. Call the obvious correct play, and they kick the field goal, very little momentum if any, hell they would have been thinking at least they won't get skunked now.
Instead we call the most unimaginably incorrect play, and they get a touchdown and with it hope.
And even with the wrong play call if 31 plays with a little respect for the fake, or if 50 covers the dude going out for the pass, then the seahawks would get 0 points and no more hope.
I don't know who called that play but if it's slocum then MM should have fired the dude yesterday. Just too many special teams mistakes this year with a fairly healthy and consistently available group of players.
