In the final :46 of the half - yes.
Is it supposed to be impossible to score in 46 seconds with 2 timeouts? That argument seems to boil down to saying "Well, the defense gave up a TD, so they're to blame."

we all get your argument, and it makes sense, it becomes stupid when you fail to apply it to all like situations, like which you are doing

If it is against the Dallas Cowboys, then that answer is a resounding Yes!

It's obvious it isn't going to change. In fact, it seems to be reverting back. But hey, it is what it is I guess.

I'm sure it gets annoying, but it is that time of year. Besides, there needs to be at least a couple of people on here to balance things out.
I could shout it until I am blue in the face, it wouldn't do any good. I'd rather go on anxiously waiting for today's thread about how to acquire Darren McFadden. about 4 o'clock my time.

I don't think things are reverting back at all. That's just speculation.

when they were backed up after the kickoff, do you think it should have been that easy?

they just protected long enough until whoever was on reeves got out of their break.

that was an awful sequence and it changed the game drastically.

they should not have scored a td on that drive. that throw to boss just highlighted how poor reeves and williams are. there is absolutely no reason for williams not to get a hand on the ball.

Believe it or not, many on here really do want all rosy posts. But like Hos said, it goes with the territory. And I know some think they are "superfans" if they always paint rosy pics and nod up and down at every move.

As for being a broken record, that goes both ways. I've seen quite a few on here that hardly ever even post about the team. They just seem to go around complaining about other people's posts. Kind of humorous actually.

Talk about darned if you do and darned if you don't. You are already complaining and flaming me for things you assume I might do under hypothetical circumstances. You people are hilarious.

As for the situation itself, Wade should be in control of his own staff. If we are grooming Jason, then fine, groom him. No point in hiring staff for him until he is the HC.

i know what you'll do based on you doing it 500 times already.

you say jones is bad because he won't let his HC pick his coaches.
1. you don't know what role wade has it in but you assume the worst caue it suits your jones bashing
2. you then say you don't care what other teams are doing YET YOU BASE your bad-jones mantra on WHAT OTHER TEAMS are doing.

how do you know FOR A FACT wade isn't involved heavily in the decision making?

you don't. but you sure do take latitude with your assumptions you don't allow in return.

I guess you conveniently didn't happen to read the rest of the post where I said I would want the HC to have the say in his own staff.

I mentioned the thing about the equipment manager simply because in the grand scheme of things, I could careless if they screw it up in Miami, because I'm not a Dolphins fan.

Capiche?

just as you conveniently let your OPINIONS become facts and KNOW FOR A FACT (based on this golden opinion) wade has no say so.

Interesting how you have no problem with folks speculating Wade is making all these decisions. ;)

he never said he did or didn't. interesting once again you assume things then call it fact for your own needs.

But somehow it's perfectly acceptable to score only three points in the second half on a team we'd previously hung 45 and 31 on earlier in the year.

If Wade is consciously signing on to help build the staff for his successor who just happens to already be in the building, what exactly does that say about Wade?

Seriously, do you see Jimmy Johnson hiring a whole bunch of 'consultants' over his own coaches because they fit well with Barry Switzer?

I'm upset any time they give up a TD. I don't think it drastically changed the game, though. The offense still had 3 opportunities to score at the end of the game and couldn't.

no doubt about that. We should have scored both if not once, on one of those two final chances.

That drive before half was a killer though. The stadium went from ecstatic and loud and crazy, to scared to death, upset and silent. It had the feel like the 05 skins game. It just changed. The players recognized that too.

there is no way manning should have been able to do that on that last drive. It was beyond depressing.

and as always, the two most important posessions of the game are the drive into the half and the drive out of the half. that is when championship teams are at their best, we were awful on defense into the half and sporatic on offense out of the half. It cost us the game.

from what i can tell from bach, if jones were to let wade pick all the coaches, bach would be upset that a lame duck coach was given such power. it doesn't matter what it is or how it applies in a normal situation, bach will change it to fit his hate-cicle.

I posted this in another post, it also seems appropriate here..... In the case of Stewart, it is possible that after gaving Stewart a shot at the DC position for a year, wade feels that Stewart is not quite ready for the job and is looking to upgrade. Wade knows that he will not have many more opportunities as a HC in the NFL, especially with a team that is equipped to make a run at the SB next year. Now, getting something done in the playoffs with the Boys can definitly increase his chances of having more HC opportunities in the league. So, as loyal as Wade might be he might have a lot more say in wanting Capers here than what we are assuming, simply because it will be to his benefit that this team improves in everyway possible..............just my 2 cents

now if they can only do something about the ST coaching position.

Are you responding to me or wilee? :laugh2:

Also, gotta love the hyper-speculation in your post, Mr. Kettle.

Maybe bach thinks that if their is already a successor and Wade is a lame duck, then just go ahead and name the successor as HC. Gee, that might be too logical.

Or maybe if the successor isn't ready yet, then let Wade hire his own assistants and when the successor is named HC, then go ahead and let him hire his assistants.

But, you may want to ask bach that. Of course, comprehending it is solely up to the reader.
