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.
