Rodger Sherman @rodger.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Brandon Aubrey being really good at kicking ball far actually cost Dallas there. He kicked the kickoff through the end zone when basically any return would have taken enough time off the clock to prevent that ending 1614210
David Dilbert @candyman718.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Unless, of course, the kick was returned for a touchdown and then the same people would be saying why didn’t he just kick the ball out of the end zone 000
vcbhome.bsky.social @vcbhome.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I think they thought that the Raveens would just take a knee - I know I did. 000
Rodger Sherman @rodger.bsky.social · 28/09/2026thing is, kickoff return TDs basically don't exist anymore. The Ravens haven't had one since 2022. There were 6 in the NFL in 2025 on 2,100 returns. 0.3% probability. a 25-yard pass and a long FG is like ... 10 times more likely? 20? would people have blamed Schotty? sure. but it was the right playDavid Dilbert@candyman718.bsky.socialUnless, of course, the kick was returned for a touchdown and then the same people would be saying why didn’t he just kick the ball out of the end zone 6470
Nate @jetzzfan.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Time to have non-kickers taken care of kickoffs. Dare Ogunbawale or Jeff Heath would have gotten it in the zone 000
astors4lyfe.bsky.social @astors4lyfe.bsky.social · 28/09/2026That's what the team told him to do as opposed to his normal kicks that end up with a penalty at the 40 000
jd for Safe Streets 🎃🚸 @thedirte.bsky.social · 28/09/2026He didn't decide that on his own though. Did what coaches instructed. 000
Robert Baker @kerba1123.bsky.social · 28/09/2026didn't something like this cost the Bears a game against the Vikings last year, too? 000
Andy @football-andy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Might have decided to kick out super deep since his previous attempt to kick it shorter went out of bounds 000
Vin @vinnieal.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Is he the one that kept kicking it out of bounds too? Might need to let him just kicky the field goals and get someone else kicking off 000
jimmycrack99.bsky.social @jimmycrack99.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Why didn't he kick it along the ground? 100
Mark G @markguydah.bsky.social · 28/09/2026That's a coaching decision and Schotty lost them this game. 1120
Reed Strong @notreedstrong.bsky.social · 28/09/2026If only NFL teams were allowed to employ head coaches and special teams coaches who could devise alternate strategies for such situations 000
Trip Somers @onepitchman.bsky.social · 28/09/2026And he kicked two out of bounds earlier, giving Baltimore a short field. 000
dylan clark @alltimeworst.bsky.social · 28/09/2026It makes me wonder if they panicked after he kicked it out of bounds and just told him to do that, even though there's only a 5 yard difference 030
