Brees kept snapping the ball while our defense wasn't ready

Hey it is better than our hurry up offense that allowed the other team to substitute freely.

It was so obvious thay Collinschoke was commenting about that, we ran the hurry up slow enough that the Saints were able to substitute, thats just silly.

This is what bugs me about the confusion. Marinelli's D is based on simplicity. It is not complicated on purpose. So, if there is confusion, what does that say about the players? I know that none of them are road scholars, but I would expect some kind of football smarts to go along with their play.

more to the point what does it say about the teaching methods of our coach?

Out coached yet again. We never out coach anyone. Romo and last years running game have covered up a lot of poor-average coaching.

Gachkar should've just took a knee when he got dinged and yes Garrett should've seen we were late getting lined up and called a timeout. Oh well it is what it is.

Considering we didn't have our 2 best players on offense, and our best defensive player in the game, taking an even sorta gimpy HOF quarterback to OT on the road is pretty decent coaching to me

true but if you have guys like Wilson, Gachkar, Wilbur, Smith, etc all multi-role guys and they ahve you switching from position A with responsibility B and then next play you are now at position B with responsibility A plays can get a little muddled.

No coaching staff wins that game last night with the level of injuries on this team. We do not have enough weapons or playmakers right now.

Consider the flip side of the coin - the existing coaching staff wins this game easily if the team is at full strength.

I don't agree with this as all. We didn't win vs NY or Philly "easily". We needed a miracle against NY and got one when the HC and QB had complete brain farts and threw away a game they had no business losing.

Injuries are a convenient excuse for the abortion we are seeing on the field. We lost to a team that hadn't won at home in 6 games and was 0 and 3 and basically rebuilding.

I'm really tired of this narrative. Go back and watch the last couple of games. He has been ticked off, worked the officials, went over to Randle and gave him a stern message last night, etc. Just because he doesn't spit when he does it doesn't mean it isn't effective. One of the best coaches of all time was Tom Landry and he NEVER yelled at anyone on the sidelines.

Landry didn't need to yell because everyone was scared of his stern stare.

Did you ever see Landry chewing gum and clapping like a high school cheerleader?
Yeh I didn't think so.

The talent on the offensive side of the ball hides so many glaring problems from our coaching staff. JG's offense, even with Linnehan now here, is completely vanilla. They never do anything creative or different than the weeks before.

Every good offense in the league does something to help guys get open...motion, bunch formation, play action, etc.

We did NONE of that last night or against ATL. My issue with JG has always been that he simply depends on talent to win games, and calls it execution. When things breakdown, this offense has no answers regardless of if we are healthy or not.
