BSHOT44 ------------ I too just listened to the press conference and I totally agree with you on coaches admission to the wrong call when we were at the 1 yard line. I am thinking that coach probably made a similar statement to the team after the game so that the players do not take the loss too hard.
GO BOBCATS
Yeah ... I really was kind of stunned on how he basically admitted the coaching staff blew it in that situation. Not something you'd expect from a guy with the kind of experience Frank has and a staff that has worked together for 14 years.
Kind of discouraging, really.
Couldn't agree more when he said they shouldn't be pulling a lineman there. They tried to pull #76 Meservy from RG
Really?!?! How would that EVER be an option in that position. You have inches to plow forward and win the game and you call a play to pull a lineman? Just mind-blowing to be quite honest.

Coaches make mistakes, being accountable for those mistakes is the sign of leadership,, regardless the execution by the players has to improve.
Agree ... execution has a ways to go on offense (and a loooong way to go on defense) but coaches job is to put players in position to succeed. They failed to do so on that 2nd down play in a big way.
Yes, Rourke 100% should've never thrown that ball on 3rd down .... unless he was throwing it to you in the stands.
Regardless ... QB sneak on 2nd down ... and they're not in that position to have to throw.
A veteran coaching staff cannot make that mistake. They just can't. Too much football knowledge to make such a call.
I appreciate Frank owning up to it ... but what in the hell is Albin thinking even trying that? Pulling a guard on the one-inch line? C'mon! That is not setting up players to succeed.
