Nuge missing a FG is to be expected unfortunately.
Good point, and I can agree with that. We need our best to be at their best, and if they're not, it can be more impactful. If someone like Dalton or Green has an off day, it hurts us more than if...say Maualuga has an off day. We've seen that with Burfict all year.
I'd say that's a fair enough point, although it's tough not to be mad at Nugent. The 50 yarder would've been more forgiveable had he not missed the XP as well. I'll end by saying this. Although I feel Dalton heavily contributed to the tie, I feel like if we'd pulled out the W, you could've said Dalton contributed to that as well. Like I've been saying, he was a mixed bag. Some good mixed with some really bad.
Fwiw, I'm fine with coaches being labeled turd of the day. I'd also be fine if you put coordinators in your game ball threads. It's almost always tough to nail down 1-2 terrible players when the defense has such an awful day. Usually it's a combination of many things that leads to 500+ yards and 27 points.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
