It was inevitable I suppose. I hope they bring a guy like Moore in as a vet in the film room.

I think Norv might have been a good choice

We have been critical of both coaches and players after the debacle Sunday. Rightfully so. But which has more responsibility? I think players myself. When you boil it down football is imposing your will on the guy in front of you. And we have linemen get blown up, WRs that get pushed off the ball, etc. Coaches can't really change that, other than getting rid of guys (Miller? Ducasse? Groy?) i hope this Sunday some guys show some pride and step up their game.

Were they hired before Daboll?

Name some

To say a guy has no hope one year in is dumb.

I would call Terry back and tell him I don't take the job without a guaranteed 10 year no fire contract.

Not now. Maybe later in the season if a contender has an injury pop up.

I'm puzzled they haven't brought an O lineman in.

Yes, relative to one of the hysteria around here.

Do yourself a favor and look at the roster of playoff teams last year.

I am still wondering why there is not a new O lineman here

Not saying they can't or shouldn't. They absolutely need to improve. But when folks say they have done nothing right , and they are coming off a playoff year, that is simply ridiculous.

I'll take your advice and not respond to the OP anymore here.

Perhaps

They could have been better on offense. And defense. And they were in the playoffs. And they addressed offense by bringing in a new OC, drafted their potential franchise QB(did you see TTs performance Sunday by the way?). You can try and wriggle out of it any way you want but your position is we should be negative because they made the playoffs. That is ridiculous.

What crap. What absolute unadulterated crap. You spout off how it's the folks that are negative that are right. They made the playoffs last year as the most obvious evidence that you're wrong. And your response is it didin't count because they weren't fun to watch? You are absolutely ridiculous with this stuff.

I hate to see any young person waste their talents.

They were in the playoffs last year. That noise you hear is the mike dropping.

Wasn't the run D pretty good Sunday?

I think McD's thing is he wants guys that really care about playing football. Dareus was not showing that here. I think he'd have no problem with guys that are a little different so long as they work their butt off.

Wish we had kept Hogan and Watkins. One out of two ain't bad.

You do not have a clue how any of those guys are going to pan out. I was a Rosen guy myself, but Allen has shown encouraging early signs.

Did he sit Sunday because he was dinged up?

Hope you're wrong on Allen too. I am encouraged by what I've seen so far. Now Dareus. Recall the picture of McD with Dareus during camp last year? Recall the late attendance at meetings, etc.? It's not like McD didn't try to get the kid to come around. But at some point you can't pay a guy the top salary on the team and get the least effort. You just can't build a successful team that way. He was a good guy with Marrone last year, but in the off season has a potential rape charge. I won't be a bit surprised if his problems rear their head again this year.
