Do you know a team that runs the football plays good D and works hard for their coach

[charlottenian]

I do.... they are known as the San Francisco 49ers and after many years of mediocrity they have finally broken out. They are coached by one of the best defensive players to ever play the game who came in and dismantled any prima donas on the team (see the Vernon Davis of two years ago and this years version). A team that runs the ball, plays physical D and wins out the grinders so far. A team that is doing all this without their top 10 pick this year because of not buckling in and handing this immature baby money that he is not slated for. A team that will only get better next year with a two first rounders (one of them being a top 10 pick) next year.

I knew it was comin'. You don't bring that much intensity as a coach and not get immediate results. Good for him. Good for them. They suffered for a while now.

I guess it shows a game is never over untill it's over, I think the same can be said about a season aswell....

I am too, but I temper that feeling a little bit.

If you don't get results, the "intense, in-your-face" act can have a short shelf-life. You can only give so many Knute Rockne speeches before the players eventually start thinking "I've seen this movie already."

For every Bill Cowher, there's a Ray Rhodes. At this point, Singletary could still turn out to be either one. I'm leaning positive, but the other is still possible.

Speaking of successful "intense" coaches, see one Rex Ryan. That man's enthusiasm has trickled down directly to the players, and they're all playing with chips on their shoulders.

And the fans. I love that he reached out to the fans to get them riled up.

Charlottenian is always over reacting (see dumb youtube Delhomme video). I can not believe he is a doctor. Your diagnosis of a sprained ankle is probably 48 hrs to live. Stop fasting it is effecting your thinking.

Looking at the clip, on first glance it seems Singletary didn't put enough guys back into coverage to protect against the Hail Mary. Coaches normally have a boatload of guys back to knock the pass down. I saw only two in the vicinity of the receiver.

Will have to see the clip again to be sure, but if it's so Singletary and his DC need to take some blame for this loss.

I thought the diagnosis for a sprained ankle was amputation

With you it would not surprise me....
