The crowd was damn loud. The crowd wasnt going nuts when we had the ball. Several times the niner fans tried to start a niner chant and they were quickly drowned out by the home crowd. Ive said it before.. the crowd is good, and damn loud. So stop sitting at your computer trying to bash that our crowd sucks.
Coaches....lol...ok let me have at it.
Last week ther was a ridiculous poll after we stomped the Eagles asking if you were happy ithbig mike. I jaughed then because the timing of the poll was pretty suspect and I said then, lets wait and see if we lose the 1st playoff game and then lets have that same poll and sure enough... wala. We went from Big Mike being so amazing to people now want his head. I have said repeatedly all year when I was told how dumb I was that these coaches were so much better than in the past, I said they are no different. We were here before in 07, 14 16 and 18. And guess what we got this year with this new amazing staff... the same thing we had in the past.
Ive said it forever, the coaches in the NFL are all good, they are largely irrelevant. I know, I know... im just a dummy. hmm, you think that game plan and play calling that Bieniemy had is why the Chiefs spanked the Steelers? I know IM gonna here what a great JOb Tomlinson did this year... so great they squeaked into the playoffs and got bounced in the first rd. BUt enough about that.... thats for another day. I was a head coach for 20 years, nothing close to the NFL level, but one thing that happened absolutely blew me away. Every new venue we played in I walked the field to observe any irregular things about the field of which I would discuss with our base runners, outfielders, maybe 1st or 3rd base and a catcher. Why? If you havent coached, you wont know, but trust me the field matters. As Im watching the game yesterday, you could clearly see that damn sun impacting things again. On the play where Wilson couldnt see the damn ball, the sun was covering.. maybe 1/3 to half the field, the other side was totally shaded. As soon as it happened I was shaking my head, dumbfounded how coaches and players arent communicating about that issue, but more importantly trying to call a play on the side of the field away from that sun... and yes, you damn sure could have done it.
Long post, but here it is.... we can change coaches, we can change coordinators, and yes, you can change the OWNER, and none of that is going to matter. If you watched the Bucs, you saw it. You saw passes that hit people in their face, in stride. You saw a QB make decisions that simply ate up a defense. You watched the Chiefs.. you saw a difference maker that simply puts a team on his back. You watched the Cowboys, you saw open receivers get balls 4 yards over their head. You saw more balls at their feet. You saw You saw a QB holding the ball too long. You simply saw an avg QB. When you have 2 teams that are basically pretty close, the team that has the elite guy is winning that game 8 out of 10 times. Thats it. Not play calling. Not scheme, not pregame hype, not "Preparation," not any of the garbage clichés that so many of you like to throw around.
I went to about 6 games this year. Had a great time at everyone of them. We already have our hotel reserved for season opener next year. I will continue to go to games with my family as it is always a great weekend. But I am simply done expecting wins against god teams. Doesnt mean we wont get some, doesnt mean we arent capable, but it simply means we will be on the wrong side of that elite qb winning 8 of 10 against the avg qb, because we got the avg qb.
So..... unfortunately, so long 2021 season. Its been enjoyable, and frustrating at the same time.
Lets now let the soap opera begin, as it will be really interesting if Mike survives.
Oh... dont you think it is strange that the Bengals got good all of the sudden??? must be that great coach....bahahahahhahahahahahah
