My 1st anti-coaching thread

I've been one that's preached 'trust the coaches' all season and that I trusted Gibbs judgment explicitly but today's loss and the last month in general I think it's time to really question some things..

Playcalling-Terrible decisions on offense with the plays.. Too many conservative playcalls. It seems like there are like 8 total plays in the playbook. When I can sit on my couch in Miami and call the plays before they happen an NFL coach can surely predict the same. Too conservative, playing not to lose=losing football. I'm convinced that this coaching staff is not the right group to get us back to the top. We have better offensive talent than teams scoring 24-31 pts a week but we are not getting it done. That's flat out coaching and execution but it all starts on the sidelines.

Defensive playcalling-Same thing, why did we stop blitzing? 3 & 4 man rushes against an offensive line that was allowing pressure all day when the blitz came? Other than Harris the DBs played exceptionally well for most of the game, why not let them give them a chance to make a play?

Roster decisions-Derrick Frost is awful, worst punter in the league.. Walt Harris has been terrible since October, why is he still playing?? WR depth was a problem coming out of training camp but how can we not have a WR on the practice squad instead of Jimmy Farris who was out of football last week and the #3 WR this week?

Very frustrated and with no #1 pick and up against the cap this offseason I can't say that I'm even looking forward to that anymore..

Portis is suppose to be making the plays L.T. did today. That is my biggest dissapointment from the coaching staff. They are obviously not using him wisely.

yeah i have noticed the same thing about the play calling. seems like they only have a hand full of plays in their playbook. It's either run the ball, play action pass roll out to the tightend or shotgun formation and thats it. I like you if we can see it on tv i know the oppenents have to see it by watching the film each week. not to hard to figure us out.

blitzing let lt break free for the td in reg and the td in ot dumbass

When a team gets the ball on the enemy 30 and can't get their kicker close enough to win the game, the playcalling is officially shit.

Yes, the execution was poor, but the calls were limp wristed too.

unfortunately we were 3 yards away and we got a holding penalty not exactly easy to get 13 yards i will take 2nd and 3 any day

It's not like it's all that different from Gibbs' first run as coach. I mean you knew when they were going to go with the Jumbo offense, or run the counter-tre, or do a bootleg. Not the most extensive playbook, but with a lot of motion and different formations. The key is to execute it well enough that even if they know it's coming they can't stop it. Like Stockton-Malone's pick-and roll

I was talking about in obvious passing situations.. Williams stopped coming after Brees which allowed him to convert some 3rd and longs..

So, I suppose what the key to us winning is to get rid of this coaching staff after two years and once again jump back on the coaching carousel? As long as we keep doing that, this franchise will never have another winning team.

TAFKAS, it's a different NFL and he cant hold all the talent he had before thanks to the salary cap. There was a time when we had a dominant O line which we simply don't have anymore. I think Gibbs needs to learn to adapt, because whats happening now obviously isn't working.
