11:31 3 and 9 to go on opp 34, Gerry Daigle (OC) snaps the ball to Alvaro Cousins (QB), Jonathon Fain (HB/R) gets the ball, he starts running over the right end, Jonathon Fain (HB/R) tackled by NoƩ Aguirre (DE/L), forward progress: no gain (Wishbone vs. 4-3-4)

11:01 Bryce Mccauley (P) punts the ball from opp 34 for 36, this is a touchback

yes sorry.

not only that in the last quarter on opposite 11 and punts the ball !!!

So, i just gather the playbooks orders are the ones that matter. but why are we given the option if it does not work or is irrellevent.

or am i just a dickhead, who is useless at this game.

I think if this is the 34m then the ball goes back 15 m for the FG which will take it to the 49yrd mark, so this is incorrect? true or not.

however
0:15 3 and 10 to go on opp 11, Gerry Daigle (OC) snaps the ball to Alvaro Cousins (QB), Alvaro Cousins (QB) selected Julian Irwin (TE/R) as target, this inner right pass is incomplete, the receiver was not able to make the catch, no progress (Shotgun 2 WR vs. 3-4-4)
0:06 Bryce Mccauley (P) punts the ball from opp 11 for 42, this is a touchback

what is this?

Have you tried the playbook checker? Give it the exact same stats and see what's wrong with your playbook.

You add 17yds. 10 for the EZ and 7 for the holder behind the LOS.

You need to be very careful with the order of things in your playbook. It looks like your punt play is taking precedence over you FGs in that situation. But down by 11 you would want to go for it on 4th down that late in the game anyway.
