Who does? And how many coaches and players actually live in the City? Sounds like a cover story to me.

More likely is that RW would kick TD upstairs (how many more stairs are there?) to become President only, and have him turn the football operations over to a separate GM.

How do you blame TD for the lack of continuity on the OL? Did TD cut Ross Tucker? I think the blame lies with injuries and MM. MM is the one who gave us the Jason Peters experiment HALFWAY INTO THE SEASON. WTF?

Should we cut some slack for the coach who throws him to the wolves midseason as the starter at RT? Enough of the offensive experimentation. Once MW was healthy enough to play he should have been installed as the starting RT, period.

Stats are very dangerous in the wrong hands. To even remotely imply that we lost the game because Willis didn't carry enough is just wrong. To anyone that watched the game, that is clearly an irrelevant stat.

You could argue that all of the 7 "reasons" are actually symptoms and not causes. Dig deeper and ask "why". It all comes down to talent misjudgements. Whose job is that?

If he picks the Panthers, you KNOW we are done.

WOW, how do you attribute the confusion to JP being in at QB? That's some incredible insight.

I can't endorse the profanity but you're first point is extremely well taken.

There may be some good points in here but it's so poorly written I just can't tell. I might actually pay for the Cliff's Notes.

JP made 1 bad throw. Other than that, he played hard and looked in control. At times, the best offensive player on the field for Buff. Josh Reed made a few key drops early that changed the game. In all, it was a hard game to evaluate JP because we were behind so much, so early.

MW is clearly a disappointment but are you saying, as MM seems to be, that Peters is one of the best 5 OL's on the team and MW is not? Has Peters outplayed MW at RT? I don't see it.

Amen.

Agreed.

The whole frigging offense is an experiment. It's a wonder we've won 4 games.

WOW, truer words have never been spoken.

Just what direction is the offense headed under MM? Cases in point: - Installs Jason Peters at backup TE and Mike Williams at starting RT all frigging training camp. And then, HALFWAY THROUGH THE SEASON he switches, puts Peters in as the starter and benches MW. Don't you make this move in training camp rather than at midseason? - Experiments with MW at STARTING left guard for a total of 1 game in a row, then backs off after MW gets his lunch eaten, sees his error and then JP saves his A$$ by winning the game for him in relief. Is Peters really that much better at RT than MW? He got his a$$ handed to him today by the Chargers. - Dicks around with naming a starting QB 4 days after Holcomb got his bell rung. What does this say to JP? - Replaces TC as offensive play caller 5 games into the season. To me, this INSTABILITY is as serious as Greggo's inability to get the offense under control during his tenure. As a player, it must be hard to have faith in MM's direction when there isn't one that's apparent. The only thing that explains this mess is shear panic on MM's part.

Billnutinhouston sez......Solomon be wrong.

You mean Gruden, the YOUNGEST coach in the league?

But wait, I thought TD's biggest flaw was that he stubbornly hold on to "his" guys, regardless of performance. Goes to show you that an NFL GM's job is about as thankless as it gets, at least for 31 of them.

Just win baby.

Underthrown? I think you mean "less than perfect". Underthrown is when the DB can make a play on the ball or the WR has to break stride. Neither happened on the first TD throw. If you analyze all TD passes thrown in the league on any given Sunday, I'll bet maybe 10% are perfect passes. At most. The rest are good plays from the QB/WR combination. Lighten up, Francis.

Well said.

Uh, I must be in the wrong place. I just came in here to vote and got attacked by one mother of a post.

I believe you have it right. MW's problem is simply he was having to think too much instead of being able to react naturally. The guy CAN play, and with more practice ahead he WILL finish the year as the starter at LG. Take it to the bank.
