"Missed Oppotunities" and "It is what it is"

I don't know about everyone else, but post game "missed opportunities" is getting old. 

 

Kind of reminds me of a previous coach with his "It is what it is"....and we all know how that turned out.

 

 

The two have nothing to do with each other. Missed opportunities is saying that there was a shot, it wasn't capitilized on, let's move on and get it corrected.

It is what it is was John Fox's way of saying F*** you to everyone before the lock out because he was given a raw deal in 2010. 

Regardless, we are 1-2 with losses to two playoff teams and the only reason the game wasn't any closer yesterday was because of stupid penalties at bad times. 

We moved on. In 2013 we were 1-2 and finished the season 11-2. 

 

Deal with it.

"Missed opportunities" is a lot more descriptive than "it is what it is" to me, not even in the same ballpark.  Fox's repetitive media line was sort of like a shrug and ah "ah what are you gonna do - you can't change the past".  When I hear Rivera or anyone on this team say "Missed opportunities" I hear that they know the game was there to win and they didn't take advantage of what was presented to them.  With a team this talented that's going to be the answer a *lot* of times we lose.  There's also a clear tone, if not outright statement, that they plane to address why those opportunities were missed.

As it relates to this game - there *were* a lot of missed opportunities (off the top of my head at the very least Fozzy's long run and the underthrown ball to Ginn who had a step on his defender.  Given I was only barely paying attention and missed most of the first quarter I'm sure there were more).

If the alternative is a coach like Arians who calls his players out by name would you prefer that?  I certainly would not.

Yes. Fox would have rounded it out with their guys get paid too and we picked a bad day to have a bad day.  

 

Yesterday was was a stink bomb all around.

I feel like this coaching staff has 1 game plan. Come hell or high water that is what they are going to run. No adjustments for heavy pass rushes, no adjustment for Cam getting hobbled. Line up, 7 step drops, get killed. Cam is masking so many problems with this staff that he should be receiving a coaching check as well.
