The other factor is coaching. The coach's job is to put the best players in and call the plays that put the team in a position to win. The coach has not done that. Calling plays that take advantage of the players' abilities while compensating for their weaknesses is a key part of the coach's duties.

I doubt the coaches practiced with Nunes throwing a 2 yard pass in the turf to Ertz when he was 5 yards away.

I wasn't trying to say that the coaches coached Nunes to throw badly!  :D

What I meant was that the coaching staff chose the players and called the plays. They have not chosen the players -- or at least the quarterbacks -- that will put us in a position to win. My friend who is traveling listened to Todd Husak on the radio, and my friend said that Todd said the throws that were called were low percentage throws.

That's what I meant by the coaches not putting the team in a position to win.

Todd is right.  The catches Montgomery is getting grief for not making were largely low percentage throws.  Throws where he had to make a diving catch and hold on to the ball.  You expect elite NFL receivers to make those catches on a consistent basis, not division 1 wide receivers.  For instance, why aren't we trying more slants.

Also what ever happened to our WR2 position?  Is that still Terrell?  I didn't see him make one catch against UW but maybe I missed it.
