Having just watched the game again just to confirm my own thoughts - and then quickly deleting it - I have come to the conclusion there are some people on here who dont actually watch the game.
For all of the people who are claiming that Long was rubbish on Friday - what exactly are your reasons.
If its goal kicking then you simply dont understand that it is a team/management failing that he is our best kicker - not his own
I dont remember him missing one tackle and his only mistake as far as I can remember was a bad pass about 18 mins in.
His organisation was as good as it normally is, his support and running were also as good.
The reason we lost was we went into the game with the wrong attitude and we got found out. There have been plenty of games were we have only played well for 15 - 20 mins and in that time done enough to win it. Friday just wasnt enough.
FWIW I thought that KC was atrocious his passing was awful and he missed more tackles than I think I have ever seen him do but if he has a bad game every now and then I think he has earned enough brownie points over the years to not get the abuse that Long is now getting.
