While I enjoyed Henji, um 20 points against a [ Finebaum ]e team like Nati is absurd. Fire Briles for a thousand reasons plus he sux.
If either receiver catches the ball that hits them in the hands down near the EZ, that’s 7 more points, plus the missed chipshot FG is three more. You can’t blame that on Briles, he schemed playmakers open and they just didn’t catch the ball.
That’s 30 points we should’ve had in a snow game, with our two best playmakers either out (Bech) or battling some kind of injury (Savion) with an OL that can’t run block to save their lives.
Not to mention, Hoover clearly was struggling with his accuracy in the cold & snow.
Definitely not the best game from our offense, but the weather was clearly affecting both teams in that regard, and our offense’s style is way more affected by the cold and snow than Cincy’s.
If you want to say we should fire Briles because you don’t like him as a person, that’s totally fine, you do you, but he’s clearly performed above and beyond as an OC this season, and your consistent criticism of him as an OC makes us know you’re not to be taken seriously.
