I look at it a little differently as far as making the playoffs. If 9-7 is what it takes to get it we did it and they didn't.
If our game was the last one of the day on Sunday we would not of been "relying" on other teams to lose. We would of be "relying" on ourselves to win.
Bottum line we did what it took and all of the other teams didn't do what it took.

Yeah and don't ever try because you might fail. :rolleyes:

Newsflash! Damon Huard had 11 TD's and 1 INT and played great,and your boy Hermy fired his coach Terry Shea..what does that tell you?

LMAO

So now it's because of Terry Shea that Huard played well? Um, okay. Then it's also Terry Shea's fault that Trent played so badly.

I think his point is that Huard played at a much higher level than anyone could have expected, and that Shea should be given credit for that.

Green never returned to form as a result of the concussion.

He's a QB coach, not a doctor, Jim.

Hermy is not my boy.... and by your logic Trent Green should have done just as well as Huard when he came back from injury... he didn't...

Trent played fine against the Browns, though. And if he had gotten a few other soft defenses to play after he came back, he probably would have put up similar numbers. But his performance there just reinforced the same pattern we saw all season. Let's not forget that as well as Huard did against the likes of the 49'ers and the Rams, he wasn't any better against the Steelers or Dolphins than Trent was against the Ravens or Jags.

If anyone wants to line up and heap praise on Terry Shea for the games where Huard played well... and he deserves credit, though certainly not all of it... then they also need to blame him for the games where the QB play struggled. And there were more games featuring the latter last season, from both QBs.

This is for sure: There were no "funny plays" this past season, and there will be none this coming season.

The only problem I have with Herm is that he's just like George Allen, but he doesn't have the hogs. You can't establish the run before passing, without a strong line.

Throwing on 1st down was a rarity. The quick slant is a very powerful weapon, and it was severely underused when Green was on the field. Glad LJ has a record, but I'm sure he'd rather have a ring.

He certainly shouldn't have been fired..that makes no sense.

Tell me why Shea was fired?is that an easier question? ROFL

Well by your logic Herm should fire himself also..Green was coming back from a head injury..

Exactly!

Yeah, that's a fairly easy one.

Why did he keep him on to begin with?
He should have known that in January of last year,right?

Good question, Mr. Vos. I'm pretty certain that Shea probably said something along the lines of, "Hey Herm, maybe we should consider running play action on first down once in a while?"

At which point, Herm had two options: Think or Fire.

Possibly to keep a little bit of continuity with the offense. I'd be willing to guess that if Herm fired EVERY offensive coach on his second day last year, this team would have went 1-15.
