What's your take on our coaching?

[redsk1]

My take is that we have 5 or 6 offensive starters out on a team that was mediocre offensively to begin w/.

Definitely worth considering during the witch hunt.

Kyle: fits players to schemes rather than fitting schemes to players. Epic fail.

Sadly, I agree.

That may be great on a team looking to win games now. We're looking to win in the future. Put the offensive scheme in place now, let the young guys get used to it. People that don't fit will be replaced.

We'll need a top 5 pick to get the next Megatron or Andre Johnson.

Sorry, Shanny knows more about coaching in the NFl that I do for sure, but he still isn't a very good coach. Gibbs and Beathred built the Skins into a NFL power and after they both left the magic was gone. You want to right the ship, then you need both the FO and a coach that can rebuild a team. Shanny came into a team that was somewhat set up for him before taking the reigns in Denver. After Elway left and his supporting cast soon followed, Shanny was on his own. He had stud RBs, Plummer, etc, but only had one playoff win post Elway. Simply put, the guy isn't the good coach he has been hyped up to be. Defend him all you want, but he will be on his keister at the end of this year or in 2012. And for the 8-8 prediction, you have to be kidding me!!!! Maybe with Moss and HT healthy, but not now. Even if they were in, Beck isn't our boy. We win 6 at the most.

6 wins by far will be a good yr w this roster

IF I saw some sort of progression, any progression, I would take back what I have said, but all results thus far indicate a regression if anything. As for the draft, yeah we got some good talent, but in hindsight, should we have gone after Ponder or Dalton instead of Kerrigan? Kerrigan is solid, but not a game changer like a Suh, etc. Since Kerrigan has thus panned out he was a great pickup, but I am saying now we know we don't have a QB, did we do the right thing? Should we wait another 3 years after getting a new rook QB in 2012 only to find that Kyle does indeed suck monkey balls and ruin another QB like Spurrier killed Ramsey? Also, is there any sense of urgency with the coaching staff? I mean do they even know how to make the proper adjustments to make the thing (meaning team)work at optimal level? To me, it looks like they are muddling through, just like Zorn did after the team quit on him, or after the Spurrier experiment turned into an epic fail. Snyder still has to take a lot of the blame for the sad situation of the franchise. Snyder's biggest mistakes were 1. how he fired Norv, and 2. fired Schotty. It has been 10 years since he got rid of Schotty and we suck monkey balls.

Problem w/ this assessment, aside from missing completely the big picture of a team that looks utterly uninspired and devoid of any real leadership, is that it ignores the practical reality every team has injury issues such as these. The Bills were playing they're 3rd or 4th string left tackle I believe and they mostly dominated our defensive front 7. On the other side our 2nd string left tackle looked like he could absolutely care less about the game today and the offensive line was totally dominated by a Bills defense missing it's very best player.

Again, injuries are the excuse for the team that has no leadership or motivation. The other side of the coin (last year's Packers) is a roster smashed w/ injuries but still led to greatness.

man, if the coaches cant right this ship, and we finish with 4 or 5 wins this year, which it looks like is DEFINITELY possible, what then?

We could actually go the rest of the season without a win with the offensive line playing like that and John Beck as our qb. The defense opening up like a frikkin turn style is not particularly pleasing. I say we go 4-12 this season, and get the 3rd pick in the draft.

[SFREDSKIN]

My take is:

Give them one more year. Next year find a starting QB from the many that will be available, also draft a CB, LB, C and G.

[SolidSnake84]

Man a lot of crap would have to change in order to us win any more games this year...i just dont see it
