It’s getting harder to sell general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll to a fan base that’s seen enough. Every season, the same issues show up, get patched over, and then break wide open again. It’s the most predictable, exhausting cycle this team keeps repeating.
Look no further than the nonstop, head-scratching kicking issues that have haunted this team for three straight seasons. How have Schoen and Daboll still not figured out something as basic as having a reliable kicker? It’s either negligence or incompetence — and neither makes them look good.
Kicking trouble showed up again in Sunday's 18-point fourth-quarter meltdown to the Denver Broncos.
