what happened?

I am asking seriously... because we were supposed to use and abuse other weak or injury riddled secondaries this year and we never did....

was it playcalling?
execution?
opposing team stepped up?

It must be #3 because of our exceptional Offensive coaching where execution is never a problem. Playcalling???? Naw....that could never be the the reason for a loss.

You mean, Pete Hunter isn't really as good as he looked?

We played our typical, play not to lose rather than play to win philosophy

The Parcells' regime is one that refuses to attack the weaknesses of the opposing team.That's not HIS game.We've seen it many times.
Did you see Belichick's gameplan against the Jets?
the Pats knew that the Jets' secondary had a weak link(Dyson) and went after him.
Jabar Gaffney ended the game with over 100 yds receiving.Jabar Gaffney!

Same with the D.
Basic 3-4 formation and getting his LBs and Roy toasted repeatedly.
I know Zimmer was the fall guy,but honestly,Parcells is where ALL the blame should go.

2 games up in the division with 4 to go.
3 outta 4 games are at home.
The final opponent is 2-13.
Lost division by 1 game.
If that's not a choke job,then I'm George Clooney.

I'm no Zimmer fan. Never have been. But I agree. This is Bill's handywork.

Well considering it took SD all 60 minutes to score 20 points up there a couple weeks ago and they have a guy named LT to worry about but Rivers was still only 10 for 30.. well.

But but but... they werent as banged up then. No I suppose not but then again we hadnt shown any ability to run our way out of a paper bag for a long time either so it's prolly a lil easier to protect the secondary that way. And it's not like our passing game had been generally clicking on all cylinders going in anyhow.

TO had like what.. 16 catches in the last 4 games and TG 12 in the last 3?

This is by far the most disturbing question I've been asking myself since the loss last saturday. I simply can't stop thinking about it.

I was "pro" parcells prior to this game, but after seeing how we never tried to test these corners saturday night, I've changed my opinion on Parcells. He must go.

It is simply unforgivable that we didn't test those corners. Never went deep the whole game, minus the hail mary.

Parcells MO is to "grind every game out", and thats all well and good, especially if you don't have alot of talent on your team, but we were the only team in the playoffs who had two, count em, two 1000 yard recievers, plus a qb who was in the top 5 in pass rating. And we didn't test them???

I simply can't get it out of my head. A loan officer and a hunting guide, and we never tested them????? It is simply unfathomable.

Holmgren went on and on a few days prior to this game saying he was going to run, run, and run some more. Whats he do? 4 of the first 5 plays were passes. Why? Cause we can't get a pass, and Holmgren knew it. It is our weakness, and he tried to exploit it.

Seattle's weakness was thier secondary, and we didn't try to exploit it.

Make sense that Seattle went to the SB last year, and we can't even win a playoff game. Coaching, simple as that.

Bill climbed into his comfy conservative shell, the one that keeps Tony from throwing stupid intreceptions. Playing not to lose.
