Translation: Our coaching sucks!
I've been saying this for some years now: It's not talent. We have the talent, and we've had the talent. We've had home-field advantage at least twice under Phillips and Garrett and loss both times in the first round.
We were underprepared and scared against the 49ers last year and got, basically, run out of our own stadium.
And teams since the start of the new millennium have been saying we are very vanilla in our schemes.
If we have players that need a simple scheme to succeed, what that is saying is we don't draft or acquire players who can process complex schemes. Translation: Our players are football smart. Translation: We be dumb!
That's why the better coaches figure us out and why we seem confused and can't measure up to the Packers and 49ers and Bucs (with Brady) of the league.
Everybody else can see it even if Jerry can't. It's infuriating, but what can we do? We're just fans.
Wish I could put 100 likes on this.
That about it sums it up, and it outweighs everything else.
That’s exactly what the problem is, and has been. The opposition has been kind enough to tell us….many, many times, and yet not a thing is done about it.
Why? So Jerry can be ‘comfortable,’ and have “his guy” running the offense, and he can take credit for discovering him.
As I posted elsewhere, Garrett may as well still be here.
