Maybe I botched that. I was going for 98 [:o]
We made completely boneheaded plays all day today and still won. I'm hoping that's a good sign.
Remember the game was overseas.....that happens normally and we still got the W. We would have taken a 6 point victory the last 2 years as a blowout.
Yeah I pointed out that it would probably be sloppy. What I didn't expect was lots of moronic plays. We got away with it but I'm hoping we're serious about cleaning it up during the bye. Hopefully Sam's ribs aren't too bad.
That got me wondering about how much extra time they might have.
This is three years old:
During any regular season bye week period occurring during the term of this Agreement, players will be given a minimum of four consecutive days off. Such four-day period must include a Saturday and a Sunday unless the Club is scheduled to play a game on the Thursday following the bye week, in which case players may be required to report to the Club on the Sunday preceding the Thursday game. In such an event, the four-day period shall be Wednesday through Saturday.
- They'll almost assuredly get at least Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun off.
- They might be traveling today so Monday might be out as a practice opportunity.
- KOC could reward them by giving more than the minimum, like adding Wed onto the days off. Or the whole week.
So anywhere from 0-3 extra days.
But do they really need a practice field to coach against stupidity? Illegal formations? Delay of games? Running out of bounds last week to stop the clock? Snapping the ball last week way too early when they should have been running out the clock? Block in the back? Touching the punt returner waiting to field the ball?
I would have told Ward to find his own way home after the block in the back that occurred behind the punt returner.
And a couple of extra practices isn't going to help KOC manage the game. During games, he is basically an offensive coordinator who has just been told the HC had to leave so just wing the HC duties the best you can and definitely don't let them interfere with your focus on playcalling.
Maybe they need to be holed up in a classroom and be made to watch the NFL's most stupid plays with them in it. Or bring in somebody from the outside and call out the idiots by name, to include KOC!
Now get off my lawn!
