It seemed like the better decision considering how Apsay and Gehrke looked at the end. Obviously 100% their fault with not having someone to put in the game in that situation but I don't really blame them for sticking with Sefo. The concerning part to me is actually how Apsay got worse and worse every game he played, that's not usually how it should work.
Agree, the Sefo injury is too convenient. The red zone play calling is the narrative I've settled on for last year. It's like BL has us going between the 20s, but then he is calling plays as though our weaknesses magically become our strengths once we're inside the 20. I've tried to understand it from an OC perspective, and a major limitation he had to work within was a beat up (read 'ultimately ineffective') O line. But other times last year I was left thinking, why is he asking us to run between the tackles when clearly that isn't going to work with our O line? Seems to me there were numerous wasted red zone plays because of that kind of play calling. We ended up kicking a field goal when we should've put up 7, and then still came up empty because Diego wasn't kicking from his favorite hash. Frustrated even now just thinking about how ineffective we were in the red zone last year. Mac's mantra of players make plays and players win games is true in a way for his OC too. His OC had better improve his red zone play calling this year, or I'll be calling for BL's head. If Mac won't get rid of BL, then Mac and BL both can go coach with Dave Forman. But for the record, I'd like to retain them both if we see a number of W's due to a big improvement in red zone play calling this year. Jacked for the RMS. Hoping we start this season right.
I think a rational fan would read into how we execute, position by position and coach by coach. I, for one, will breath a sigh of relief. I'm still pissed about the Hawaii game.

Too repetitive.
So based on that....you look at the scoring....just get out of the 1st quarter without being down and we outscored them the rest of the way.
Which is why I'm firm on the OL being the biggest issue.
Well, it's not now. He's got the facilities, an older squad, etc... It's put up or shut up time. He fails, all he's gotta do is look in the mirror to know why imho. Let's just hope he doesn't. Don't get me wrong, he deserves respect for a lot of things he's done in Boulder. There is plenty he hasn't done as well, which has been rehashed over and over so ill leave that alone. Let's just hope that so called "breakout year" starts Friday.
Man that quote makes me mad. The same crap Hawkins slopped out there as he circled the drain.
Thought he had a very decent arm and was quick enough on his feet, but unfortunately, Apsay was a 4/20 guy and couldn't shake it. It affected his knowledge of the playbook and presence in the huddle. (Ouch, those wheels on the bus hurt!)
