You know what I'm jealous of is watching these receivers (Thielen, Thomas, Hopkins) and the catches they make to help the QB. John Brown had a nice year, but can't even execute a relatively simple toe drag.

After this game it's a great opportunity to form a mental list of certain posters, some will get over it quickly, some in a few days, others will continue like this.

Didn't read it after I saw this, if true...and I assume it is. Calling a guy who is obviously bright, and scored a 37 on the Wonderlic is a disqualifier for me.

I agree and I'm hoping McD comes out in the next few days and states this not what he said yesterday.

Great Post Hapless! Nothing to add.

It is not as simple as the OP states. When he says great coaching gets us the 1 point wins or gets us to where we are. I see it as McD and his philosophy make the team competitive and give them a chance in most games. That means 8-8, plus or minus a game or two based on fortune, good or bad. He has proven to be that level of coach. But, let's not lie to ourselves, the approach keeps the games close, but it's not going to beat playoff caliber teams very often. We just aren't aggressive on offense or defense and put people away. We start our run, run, pass or run,run, run and playing soft coverages and giving them yards. The approach absolutely needs to change and hopefully it will with better talent in some areas.

Why can't McD step to the mike and say we have to pledge a new philosophy next year, step on peoples throats, stay aggressive the whole game, and finish people off. When you blow a 16 pt lead in basically the fourth Qtr of a playoff game, you own it SEAN!!!!

The single biggest improvement in this team needs to be a pledge to stay aggressive throughout the game and step on other teams throat. It was a big philosophical problem all year and will improve many things if they do just that.

Other than adding more talent wherever. The single biggest thing they should do as a staff is, make a pledge to continue to be aggressive on both sides of the ball throughout the game. It was a problem all year. It will make a lot of things better just doing that.

Don't get conservative. Put it away!

Getting a good ball washing from Bruschi

Yeah 3-4 times a year would be good!

Colonsworth!

I have it on good authority from a Wisconsin classmate that he was not loved and perceived as being a phony!

Yeah the model never adjusts!

Good omen's abound today!

Having Andre is big today. He catches the ball and doesn't allow any roll and won't fumble. We got this!

That's a really good point. I trust McD has made the right decisions!

Don't worry we're gonna be fine!

So Bobby Foster is out after all. He's done nothing to deserve being in there really.

So it's Foster out

Isn't he the douche that always says we're a garbage team, city etc.

According to Joe B Marlowe not out with the inactives

Looks like the unofficial inactives are: Roberts, Wallace, Sweeney, Bates, Boettger, Yeldon, Taylor

I would assume or Hyde
