Yahoo Sports: Familiar December dud (player texted " SOS" from team bus)

[Chocolate Lab]

I missed the part where Wade told Anthony Spencer to half-*** his coverage on a fat RB. I also missed the part where Wade advised his players to let Hixon break 7 tackles and take the punt in for a TD.

I'm no Wade apologist, but come on. Those two plays killed us and were terribly executed. How is that Wade's fault?

I posted similar in another thread.

Mike Golic is saying that exact thing on 103.3 right now.

You can tell the locals are incredulous that someone other than him could be to blame.

The players blaming him is just b/s. That's just deflecting any responsibility from themselves, which is the opposite of what professional athletes should do. Wade didn't make them miss tackle after tackle. That's their fault and the fact that they don't see it that way is why we lost. Wade isn't the reason.

I'm going to agree with that. I'm no Wade lover either, but look what happened.

That isn't his fault that Jacobs ran for 70 yards on a pass play. It isn't his fault for allowing that PR for a TD.

Those things don't happen and we win the game and everyone doesn't bash Wade.

It isn't like the Giants worked our defense. One was a stupid fluke play that could of happened to any coach and another was ST. That's 14 points right there.

As a supervisor, you are responsible for the performance of your subordinates. That's how it is Wade's fault.

Yep. The defense actually played well for the most part. Eli wasn't having a very good day until our execution went way down hill. They started missing tackles left and right and that Jacobs play is inexcusable.

Give me a break. He can't make them make a tackle. If they miss it, that's solely the players fault. Is Wade responsible for teaching them how to tackle correctly? Is it his responsibility to tell Spencer not to be so slow? Spencer blew the coverage. That's no fault of Wade's. Spencer knew what he had to do, but blew it.

Then he should have the influence to bench them, if not have full control of whom he works with. All the blame, but not all the control? Sounds like a load of **** to me.

They're grown men, getting paid way more than he is, let's not pretend we don't know who's really in control here. It's their fault they lost yesterday. No ifs ands or buts.

Scandrick played like garbage...Our defense though gave our offense 7 points and our offense did fumble in Dallas territory..But man, Scandrick was getting burned...

Who said the players are blaming Wade?

Of course that is true. He should get a lot of the blame, and he is. But you can't take all the responsibility from the players. Otherwise they can go in the tank with zero repercussions, because after all, it's all their supervisor's fault, right?

Deflecting responsibility to your subordinates will get you fired in many jobs. Its hard to measure intangibles like "fire," "passion," "killer instinct," "desire," but those are the coaches responsibility to instill and they weren't there yesterday YET AGAIN.

It was TO.....

has to be....all the cancers are gone.....

and we thought the players cant be held accountable.....

 

[Rampage]

if only we still had T.O. lol

I saw some players that had plenty of fire and killer instinct (Romo and Witten for starters) and some that maybe did not. Certainly a coach can artificially boost a player here and there before or during a game, but come on, these are not High School players...they are in the end responsible for their internal drive to succeed.

As far as preparation---that is usually seen fairly early in the game. The Cowboys dominated and seemed very prepared early on. Big plays killed them in the end, and everyone (including coaches) can share blame for that.

Enough with the "supremely talented" BS. Supremely talented my ***.

This team has a culture of losing when it counts (both within games and within seasons). That comes from the top. Owner, Coach, GM, whatever.......

Exactly.

We've severely overrated the talent of our team.

With that said, we can still win. I've seen not so talented teams make playoff runs, but they usually have great coaches driving them. We lack a great coach, or even a good coach.

Something is telling me this is the equivalent of a Rick Roll from this Yahoo Sports hack writer.

 

[Bleu Star]

He never had it to begin with.

this.....

wade never had this "team" at all. he may have had the defense but that's about it. regardless of whether or not this report is true, the bottom line is wade coordinates defenses. anything beyond that is a stretch to put it nicely. i am trying really hard to avoid going my typical route and lacing an email with my deep opinions of this team with wade at the helm.... you all know how i feel. i will spare you the lovely details and end here because if i don't the rest of my post will be full of *************************** ....
