I don't understand the hatred towards the offensive coaches. We've got a WR playing practically with one hand, a QB in his first year, a left guard and right tackle in their first real year with the offense and we're 4th in points scored per game. Yes, the Philly game was a bad job of playcalling...but we have a creative and versatile offense....probably the most versatile offense in all of football from a formation and personnel standpoint...and the O-Line has improved quite a bit from the past few years.
We need to get rid of Zimmer. He can't get his teams to rush the passer and they fold like a cheap suit every year in the second half of the season. Jerry has:
1. Changed head coaches
2. Changed defensive schemes
3. Got better pass rushers (Ware)
4. Gotten better CB's
5. Has paid the money to get the offense improved, thus making it so opposing teams will have to pass the ball to keep up.
Yet we are on pace for a measly 30 sacks this season. Zimmer's defenses have averaged 29 sacks in his time as D-Coordinator. He needs to go. Then we need to find somebody who is a good D-Coordinator that can get his defenses to sack the QB.

Your missing the point. Complaining is what most people do best.
Facts and stats are not important when they dont favor the haters agenda.
All that matters right now is that philly beat us and we suck, now the same people will be saying we will win the super bowl after we beat detroit.
That is where the problem lies. THis team was a work in progress going into this season. Lot of good players and good things happening, but alot of learning left to be had and alot of people who needed to prove themselves. Its a process, I believe we are somewhere in the middle on this process right now. It takes time.
Most people dont have time to be patient. Reality is a difficult pill to swallow.
Throw in espn and other people overhyping the team, and the people who watch and listen to those stations blindly start believing we should win the superbowl.
I like our chances in seattle, after that it is a toss up and that is about where this team is at. I wish others would see that. And this doesnt make losing ok, especially the way we have the last 2 times, but it maybe part of progress. Maybe it is just a rude awakening, that the talent and the coaches are not any good. I happen to think it is just part of the progress
The 99 rams and 00 ravens were the worst things to ever happen to the nfl. It created a whole new generation of impatient nfl fans and it skewed the league in a negative direction.
