In Scot we trust?

I am still waiting for an explanation as to why they did not use the timeouts at the end of the first half. Did any reporter have the guts to ask ?



That was seriously the most disgusting decision or non - decision I ever saw. It is not like we ripped off a big chunk of yardage on a run as time was winding down. We were around midfield with over 20 seconds left. With two fucking timeouts and an offense who goes 20 yards in the air at a clip better than they go 2 on the ground!
How fucking stupid can you be?

we really lacked toughness yesterday....the Giants came in and pillaged us.

Scott's got some real work to. I'm starting to wonder how much of the Seattle rebuild was Scott and how much was John Schneider's effort.

Exactly where I have been afraid to let my mind wander for a while now. What I have seen so far is really just mediocre shit. Maybe less than mediocre if a couple of these other draft picks do not pan out.

McCloughan was also in successful front offices in Green Bay and SF, so let's stop with this nonsense like he doesn't know what he's doing.

The most puzzling thing to me: why can't this team run the ball? That 3rd and half a yard fail on the opening drive set the tone for the entire game. We also failed to convert a 3rd and 2 in the first half. The toughness that McGloughan promised just isn't there yet. Our backs got hit behind the line of scrimmage this year more than any Redskins team in memory. With so many passing weapons, you would think that it would be easier to run the ball. Gruden gets very little out of the running game, and that problem needs to be solved.

We can start to improve the running game by acknowledging some things:

1. We are weak at LG and C.
2. We don't have a prime RB on the team.
3. Our TE blocking is pathetic.
4. Our play-calling is predictable and unimaginative.
5. We need to carry a FB on the roster for certain situations.

If the staff would admit these deficiencies and stop tolerating mediocrity, the running game problems could be solved.

Agree. I see some kneejerking and short-sightedness going on here, per yesterday's dismal showing.

He's only been on the job for 2 years. We've had winning records in both seasons, along with a playoff berth and a divisional title.

His first draft is actually alright. Scherff and Crowder are definite "keepers."

Preston Smith looked like one a season ago, but didn't take the leap that I thought he would take this season. But, I still wouldn't give up on him. I also believe his game might take off with a better coordinator and, possibly, better personnel around him. If Matt Jones can take care of his fumbling issues, then he's more than serviceable. Some players fumble their way out of the league, while a few take care of that particular problem.

Martrell Spaight could eventually turn into a starter, as a 5th round pick from SMAC's first draft. Kyshoen Jarrett was actually playing well, as a 6th round rookie last season until his awful injury.

You can't really get a read on a draft until the third season of said draft, and McCloughan's first draft was actually a decent class.

This past draft hasn't paid immediate dividends, as Cravens was the only player who truly contributed. Fuller had his issues, and was finally benched. Of course, Doctson with his achilles injury. Again, it typically takes three seasons before you can truly grade a draft class.

The only bad move(s) made by SMAC was this past season FA acquisitions. I believe most of those dudes will be shortly relieved of their duties. I think we'll see a different way about going after defensive personnel--via free agency and the draft-- this offseason. I also hope we find another defensive coordinator in the process.

5. We need to carry a FB on the roster for certain situations.

If the staff would admit these deficiencies and stop tolerating mediocrity, the running game problems could be solved.

You can't fix everything in the offseason, but I think the C position is serviceable. We certainly need a LG. You can find a decent back in the draft or via FA.

I believe you're gonna see a focus on defense. We need safeties and need to get faster, overall, in the back 7. I like Compton, as he's smart and tough. He typically is where he's supposed to be, but he's slow. Outside of Baker, on the defensive line, then it's a bunch of "ordinary" personnel.

I suspect you'll see us be judicious when it comes to defensive personnel, this offseason. I sense we'll be active in FA and defense being the main focus in the draft.

Well he did not run anything in Green Bay. He was a scout. When we look at San Francisco he was released in 2010. Before they became really good, and alot of those defensive studs he helped acquire turned out to be nut jobs and criminals. Kaep had alot to do with their couple years of success. So did Harbaugh. If you really read between the lines you could make the case that he did very little for either of those teams?
Time will tell what he brings to the table here, but as it stands rite now it has been mediocre at best.

Sure, if you just want to make things up.

Who were the multiple nut jobs and criminals in SF? Did they not get to a SB with a roster that he played a significant role in building?

In the end his resume speaks for itself. You're acting like we just went 4-12 the last 2 years. Just a handful of guys he is responsible for drafting:

Alex Smith
Frank Gore
Vernon Davis
Delanie Walker
Patrick Willis
Joe Staley
Michael Crabtree
Russell Okung
Earl Thomas
Golden Tate
Kam Chancellor
Richard Sherman
Russell Wilson
Byron Maxwell
Bobby Wagner

Come on man.

Punch sober the fuck up.
