Agree some of the issues were personnel related, but I also think coaching was a big issue.
Not that it mattered, but how do you only have 10 men on the field on the last play of the game? How do you have vets like Lancaster on ST and not know how to basic blocking on FG attempts? How do you stock the right side of the line with 230 lb. guys (Davis, Barnes, McDuffie)? These are coaching points.
The failure of Henry Black to help out Wirtel, or Wirtel's poor technique helping Willis truck him back and block the punt I put more on execution and should be on the players/personnel.
I could begrudgingly tolerate if they had someone at KR who takes touchbacks and at PR who just made fair catches, it was the other stuff that was just awful... bad coverage, bad snaps/holds, bad blocking, players not lined up properly, putting MVS on the hands team for onside kicks (since when did we trust his hands?) ... there were things that just struck me as madness. AND THEY KEPT REPEATEDLY DOING IT.
