Had Zeke not fumbled against New Orleans (or Witt but Zeke’s was more critical) we would have beat NO, possibly NE if it weren’t for the phantom tripping calls but I don’t like using that as an excuse, today if Dak didn’t fumble or our defense could recover a fumble and not let the opposing QB run for a first down or Maher could hit a FG, GB was more about our porous over rated defense than it was coaching, Jets we were missing several key players, MN we for beat by a little.

To answer your question, based on our current talent level I would say we’re almost right we’re we should be because the players lost a lot of those games. I could concede a win or two based on coaching but we could cherry pick every bad coaching decision vs every bad play by a defender, QB, RB, etc and there’s no way you can blame it all on coaching.

You assume when I reference coaching Im only talking about in game decisions. I dont know why, I never said that. When I reference coaching Im talking about being a disciplined team that runs a smart scheme and is able to adapt, not overcompensate. We are none of those things. I don't even have to talk about the comedy of errors with our in game management. Because the preceding points are more than enough.

Two games however is good enough for me. 8-4 puts us in contention. So yes coaching will continue to get the majority of the blame from me.

You want to die on that hill be my guest.

What hill am I dying on? The one that says Zeke cost us the NO game, the one that says our over rated defensive players cost us several games, the one that says coaching cost us a couple games or the one that says Jerry has cost us all of these games?

Is it possible to die on several hills at once? Quarter me.

JJ will fire Opie and promote Kris Richard as an interim. It will be his audition for the permanent position and to hopefully provide a spark. And it will happen sometime in the next week. Just a prediction.

Cole Beasley gonna be enjoying the rest of his day...

Day? How about career? He absolutely owned us today....I think I was the only one that thought it was a mistake to let him get away. Knew Cobb couldn't play 16 games...yet here is ole Beasley just sticking in the knife and twisting it in Jerry's back. How many more players is it going to take until Jerry figures it out...he's got a culture problem? A coaching problem?

To be clear the majority of whats wrong with this team is coaching. That is all I was ever getting at, before you wanted to point towards over rated talent. You want to lean more on talent go ahead. But you said yourself we are 1-2 games better with better coaching.

Ill take 8-4. Coaching is holding this team back more than anything else. To clarify that doesn't mean just in game management it means being a smarter, better prepared team and not running an antiquated defense that gets us exposed and forces no turnovers.

Great. They will get a spark, Richard will be the HC next year on a 5 year deal and then proceed to wet the bed.

I was right there with you. I posted many times we were better with him. How does a Dallas Cowboy player win a SB? He goes to a different team...

TOLD U. I EXPECTED THIS GAME TO PLAY OUT LIKE THIS ALL WEEK. FIRE GARRETT

yup...me too. And they didn't disappoint. Played like S(&&^ and the coaching staff still pointing fingers @ the players...players pointing fingers @ the coaches. Definitely a division within the team.

When all 4 of the talking heads said Dallas would win, I knew we were doomed.

But what's most maddening is that this team is not getting blown out, every game the other team does just enough to win, whether it be blocking a field goal, getting a critical fumble, moving the chains at key times or breaking loose for a long run or td pass.

Which of course points to coaching.

I’ll meet you half way. I agree with this statement but the more I’ve watched the more I believe we’re a lot further behind in talent than I originally thought and I won’t blame that lack of talent on coaching.

Guys, no coach already here is going to turn this team around. Change HAS to start with Jerry himself. Bring a coach in from outside and step aside. Otherwise it's going to stay the way it is...

Jerry just said no coaching changes this season.

Sorry Nightrain, just read that JJ isn’t gonna make any coaching changes for the rest of the year. So much for predictions.

let this sink in...COLE BEASLEY KILLED US ALL GAME. Had a career game. We never adjusted. He embarrassed us.
