The entire situation makes no sense.
We had a capable long snapper. Who was reasonably priced considering how important the position is.
We instead decided to go with an undersized, underskilled replacement that suddenly resulted in TWO of our most consistent assets (FG kicking and punting) to suddenly have issues all year. Issues that have likely cost us multiple games.
At this point, I have to assume there is some backstory or something that happened between our LS and the coaching staff. Nothing else makes sense.
I hope whatever feud or problem they had with the guy was worth it, because it likely cost us the #2 seed this year.
It was terminally and completely stupid, given how much we depended on FGs because of our inability to score in the RZ and because of how important field position has loomed because our offense is often barely even there for the first half of a game.
Combine that with the issue that additional challenges can lead to turnovers or safeties in the playoffs and you have to really want to see the Cost/Benefit Analysis they did because it was clearly flawed.
That one decision hurt us probably worse than any other decision this year. It was one of the single most important choices they made that negatively affected the team.
