Thread: Robbie Gould placed on IR

Yeah just saw that... so much for a minor calf strain... he kicked XPs didn't he?

he cost me my 2nd ff pay league. Lost by 4 points, and had Gould as my kicker....

this is like a colmination of the lovie smith era, everything falls apart at the end.

Well from everything being rumored it sounds like the call is going to be Emery's to make, that the Mc's are not going to make the call one way or another.

I hope they don't use the inj's as an excuse; Hou last year and GB this year have not struggled the way Chi has the last two years b/c of inj. And that is not just on Angelo, some of that falls on Lovie also.

Still not understanding all the Toub love at all. Can someone explain it to me?

He can't keep this teams special teams together anymore... you can blame it on rule changes and Hester all you want, but what does that show? That he can't adapt? What makes anyone think he is gonna make an impact coaching a team in two games? Or are we suggesting letting him try and HC for an entire season, just to, you know, see what happens?

AT, it also has to do w/Lovie constantly letting the best ST players walk, and not placing any importance on getting good ST players to backfill.

All Soul is suggesting (knowing that it likely won't happen anyway), is canning Lovie and Tice -- which looks likely to happen anyway -- after this weekend and installing Toub & Bates in their place as interims for the last 2 weeks to see if there's anything there for a possible permanent elevation. I do think we are going to lose to Green Bay and lose badly (27-10?) and that should be Lovie's deathknell. His last chance to beat the key division rival he promised to and his last chance to show that he can win against a "good team". I predict failure yet again though I agree the pink slip won't officially come until Januaray.
