Coaches make calls like on-side kicks in the first half when they're feeling the pressure they're under to improve. That's totally a stress-induced call.

And what I saw today was heartbreaking.
I had a girlfriend do this sort of thing to me once. My friends begged me to get her out of my life. She was abusive and cruel. I'm waiting for them to tell me the same thing about this team.
