As long as McCarthy is the HC we will not make progress. Lack of attention to details (lining up in neutral zone, illegal formation) are symptoms of bad coaching. Penalties are coaching.
Philly was gassed. We 3 and outed them three consecutive times. It was 1st and 5 on the 6 yard line with 27 seconds left, down five. How do you not win that game? False start, sack, false start, it's unbelievable. Stepping out of bounds and not getting 2 points. Details. Getting into the end zone on a diving catch, details.
Two things. The refs and lack of calls are appalling. On the uncalled Gallup PI Olsen said "I guess at this level you let that stuff go..." Go back and listen. WELL WHY ARE WE NOT LETTING IT GO for Gilmore? Why can we whack Gallup in the head, THROW THE FLAG, and then pick it up? They are the worst.
We are poorly coached and the defense is badly overrated. If the opposing team keeps the pass rush at bay for 2.5 then our secondary is awful. If you don't think so then ask yourself why we have not beaten any teams over 500. Only the Jets at 4-3. Giants, Rams, Bolts, Pats, all sub 500. Couldn't even beat the f... Cardinals. Lost to 9ers and S**tbirds.
We should have won today. Bad coaching didn't let us take it. Sad.
