UUGGHHH!!!!
UGLY!!!
DISGUSTING!!!!
I will review the tape and see if that causes me to change opinions about anything. But until then these are my immediate thoughts:
The results of this game indicate to me that: SOME CHANGES ...OF SOMEKIND....NEED TO BE MADE!!!!
......NOW!!!
This team appeared flat to me.
Why? WHY?
There is no reason or excuse in the world for it.
Is the main problem player talent? or more coaching?
My guess, right now, is that the coaching has to shoulder the primary brunt of the "blame" for what's happening right now.
Players say they "love" playing for Mac.
But, then if that's the case.....why aren't they?
I would think if the players had any self respect they WOULD.
But after watching this debacle today, and it deeply saddens me to say it.....It appears as if both the offensive AND the defensive play calling and planning? not only don't take advantage of the talent that IS available, but even more insidiously....actually sabotages it too.
Some people have to start being tangibly held accountable...somewhere!!!!!
Here are some things I would probably change right now, if I were puppetmaster, or Madden game-controller of this whole situation.
1. If I'm Michael Bidwill, I lay it on the line to Mac. Make some meaningful changes or he will publically be lame ducked...and word put out that they will spend the rest of the season "looking" for a new HC next year.
2. If I'm Mac, the cartoon show that is supposed to be the offensive game planning, preparation, and execution have to be corrected. No one seems to know their ass from a hole in the ground as far as running this offense.
3. Say aloha Geep Chryst. Jerry Sullivan....back to receivers coach only...and spend game time on the sideline effectively using the talents he DOES possess. Whatever the f*** problem with the system responsible for the terrible clock management issues HAS GOT TO BE CORRECTED, YESTERDAY!!!!
(I may be a little wrongfully hard on Chryst here, but that's my gut feeling at the moment...I'd be glad to hear anyone's defense of him).
4. For the time being, make Marty Galbraith the OC.
5. GET RENALDO Hill OFF THE FIELD!!! He's killing this team with his loose, soft play.
6. Sit David Barrett. Get hard-core with him to the extent that since he seems to have attracted "Martay" disease, beat him at his own game. He can be replaced very easily, especially considering the money he is evidently "demanding". This season is in the tank anyway. Sit his ass. See how much his "value" goes up then. In the meantime. start running young players in there and finding out what they can/can't do. If Barrett "shapes up" ...fine...if not...he's gone anyway. So they really have nothing to lose, and only something to gain by demoting him.
7. Sit Anthonly Clement....he's not playing "mean' enough. And, from watching tape, I feel more and more, he seems to lack upper body strength. Someone on the coaching staff needs to see that that gets changed. If he isn't willing to do what is necessary to strengthen up....then send him packing too.
It all comes down to there just doesn't seem to be the proper "accountability" ...right down the line. I think Mac has to take the resposibility for that....and if he is unwilling or unable to do that.....like I said....make it public now, that the search is now on for a replacement. (although I shudder to think of what really seems available right now).
I have been as loyal as anyone to this team and the coaches, but the time has come that the status quo just isn't getting it done....and I think now, maybe some of the players may start justifiably start giving up hope that it will too.
