Some coaching staffs have the ability to take average/mediocre talent and make them play like all-pros...some coaching staffs have the ability to make all-pro talent play like average/mediocre players. We have shown in the last decade that we have not put a coaching staff into place that can utilize our talent..average/mediocre/all-pro or otherwise.
I am NOT by any means a Patriots fan, but there has to be something to say about that. I am not saying that Buddy is the greatest GM in the world..but given the talent that Chan (and staff) has had had this year they have overly underachieved. No matter what your opinion of Beliheat is, he does have the ability to get the players to buy into the system and play above their ability. We DO NOT.
Ralph has opened the checbook......Buddy has provided.....and Chan (and, i think mainly staff eg. Wanstache) have failed. This team NEEDS coaching. How does BB and other coaches seem to be able to withstand injuries and other pitfalls and still be able to put together winning teams???? I dont know, and apparently neither does our coaching staff.
I know that we have problems LB..QB(I still think that Fitz can win if we can keep a team under 30 pts a game). So we have most of the players on D, but still cant make it happen. Sign all of the free agent D all-pro players and we still wont be any better....they have no direction. Start with Wanstache and see what happens ( ??blitz..maybe??)
Sorry, had to vent. Will be at the game in Indy Sunday. GO BILLS!!!!!
