Passing in the redzone is why Saunders should never be HC

[The Bad Guy]

LJ is tearing up the Cowboys and he decides to throw the ball twice in a row when the Cowboys would have used timeouts to stop the clock?

I don't care about how many yards this offense has put up, his desire to be too cute is the reason he should never be the HC of this team.

Having the #1-ranked offense in the league yet again is why Saunders SHOULD certainly be our next head coach; having the #27-ranked defense or worse for two years in a row is why Gunther should be discarded immediately.

agreed ....

if making Saunders the HC means we keep our top 5 offense going then it might be worth it.


gut the entire defensive coaching staff and go get someone who can really run the defense.

#1 in total yards, top 3 in TOP, top 5 or 6 in scoring. Yup, Saunders stinks.

The sack fumble play was interesting. Gonzo lines up on the right over Fujita but then Trent's sends Gonzo to the other side opening up the one on one between Fujita and LJ. LJ whiffs adn Fujita gets the sack and causes the fumble. I'm wondering if Gonzo lined up wrong and Green corrected him(That's kinda what it looked like to me.) or if Gonzo lined up correctly and Trent moved him for a match up or...or...or...or? ....LJ missed read his blockng assignment. Regardless if Gonzo stays where he lined up Fujita don't get to Green on the blitz.

No shit, wasn't he the one crying about getting to start?

Well, buck up LJ. I wan't to see a few more vergina signs in the endzone too.

I just don't see the reason you throw on first and second down. Why not run on first to take some time off the clock?

Have teams figured out how to slow our running game yet? I would have taken my chances running the ball to end a half.

Agreed. but hindsight is 20/20

like at the end of the first half. Even the announcers were stupified by KC taking a time out. Then Parcells calls on on third down and forces us to punt to end the half.

it may have been the worst coached NFL game i have ever seen.


don't forget Gunther who doesn't seem to have a single freakin clue when to blitz.


3rd and 13 - don't blitz
3rd and 8 - don't blitz
3rd and 3 - blitz
1st and 10 - blitz


i mean wtf


ya ... goonther is 3rd and short so lets bring a outside blitz ... i mean a cornerback/safety waaaaaaay outside blitz.


with only 3 yrds to go, it's going to be a running play or a quick pass so that dam outside blitz wasn't going to do jack regardless.

if you run ANY blitz on such a short yardage situation is needs to be a run stuffing type inside blitz that takes away the run and forces the cowboys to throw the ball or eat it.


we lost this game out of sheer stupidity.

Which is why, after games like this, I seriously have to have a sit down with myself, and ask, "self, just why exactly do you give so much of a fug about that shit anyways." The wierd thing is, I never have a good answer. I let it turn to violent intentions towards the fat assed Tuna with the blue sweater on.

Yeah Gunther sucks. I guess he sucked the first time he was here too. I guess thats why he was brought back. I remember the excitement on here when the rumors started. Evryone was acting like it was too good to be true. Gunther is awesome. Maybe if he had his own staff, instead of GRobs the defense would be better. If DV retires, and hopefully GC is retained, look for him to wipe out his staff and bring in his kid of assistants. Dont say that wont help. Look what GC did for Tennessee LB corp

Gunther had a HoFer plus Smith, Carter, and Hasty the last time around. Those guys can make any coach look good.
