It's not so surprising that he failed. It is surprising that the biggest wallet in the NFL can't yield the personnel to beat the lions...FIRE THE FRONT OFFICE.
Damn I love your post

Re: Now What??

I'm not 100% sure that firing Zorn would be throwing in the towel on the season. It's not like keeping him will save this team, he is a big part of the problem so getting rid of him might not necessarily mean throwing in the towel. The problem would be who is to take his place? IMO after what I saw today I'd prefer to take the chance of letting him go

I think your o-line should be able to pass block and open some holes for your RBs. When they did open holes he made plays. I got an idea for you. Get up and run into the wall. Then after you get over your concussion. Get up and open a door and run through it and see which one is easier.

Have you ever taken into consideration that since CP has been here we have run him into the ground. He has been the only constant on our team in the past 5 years that produces. Then you wonder why he is banged up.

If you watched the game today closely, which I assume you did you would've saw guys LOSING their one on one battles on defense. And you would've saw some missed tackles. I'm not sure how you blame that on coaching.
The same way you blame dropped passes, fumbles, penalties and the offense being unable to run for 1 yard for a TD on Zorn.

I don't believe its the players.Two 6'4 receivers and no balls thrown to either of them in the redzone and still no deep passes. What happened to the 2 tight end sets we were suppose to see? Zorn is in over his head. He would never admit it.

Re: Now What??

By the way, our highly paid defense allowed Detroit 381 yards of offense with a rookie QB.

Re: Now What??

Well, if the problem is that Zorn is in over his head, is there anything to be said for waiting for him to get caught up?

If he just doesn't have it, he doesn't have it. It's not the playcalling, in my opinion, if he just doesn't manage people well there's no reason to try to push through. But if he does all the small things well, maybe we just have to wait him out for everything to click?

I think the organization needs to decide if Jim Zorn just has too many hats, or if he just doesn't have coaching ability. Right now, I'd suggest it's the latter, but you don't just fire someone because you are mad that you were upset. You actually have to diagnose the issue before you take action.

Oh come on, no need to edit your post, this wasn't necessary.

On a serious note, our o-line is banged up, and well great people can bitch about how we haven't drafted lineman and yada yada. Yes they need to do that...it's just that CP has disappeared in the last three games and he is a non-factor. Maybe the team needs to look for another option if they blow up the team this year.

Oh no, it's all Vinny Cerrato and Dan Snyder. Zorn, Blache, and the players are off the hook as long as these guys are in charge apparently.
