Dave Canalas is a bum


Recommended Posts

Smarter coaching realizes that they have Mike Evans, Wirfs and a dominating run game and we don’t. I said it when they used this as the excuse for Wilks (please, I’m not rehashing)… nobody is going to stop a motivated Mike Evans when a capable QB has an all pro LT watching his back. Nobody. 

We needed a long drive churn the clock and beat their brains in strategy that we had last week. Wear their defense down. Nope. 

I think he desperately wanted, and thought we could go point for point on our way to hanging a 40 burger on his old team with a qb everyone had given up on… sound familiar?

Refs and Eddy took 10 points off the board in regulation. 

Chuba fumble in OT. 

Defense continues to show a complete inability to stop the run.

Countless (at least 5) drops by the offense. 

Would i have liked for him to go for at least one of, if not both of those 4th and short on the first 3 FG drives? Absolutely, but Canales and Bryce 1000% were not the issue today.

Everybody is a fuging expert that should be head coaches winning playoff games. Sports absolutely bring out the dumbest poo ever.

Not sure why you didn’t become a head coach in the NFL instead of a doctor, teacher, accountant, electrician, burger flipper… whatever career you decided on.

Jesus Christ people of just poo.

I have a problem with abandoning the run game in these games.  The play calling can be suspect but mostly was OK minus throwing the run game out the window.  What he's done with Bryce so far is pretty impressive though.  I agree with others, I think he may need to find a different playcaller and just be the HC.  I also wish he would stop the prevent which keeps giving up leads but I guess he doesn't want to overstep with the DC.

But at the end of the day, Canales didn't make the refs cheat and screw us out of a TD or Pineiro miss two field goals.  It's always going to be an uphill battle with the defense (more specifically the run defense) till we fill those holes.

It's good everyone is mad about losing because some weeks ago we didn't expect to win anything but if we look at Bryce's improvement that's huge.  You have to have a QB in this league and one that can win you games and he's looking like he "may" be that.  We just have to build a better team.

But I was sad we lost for sure but I'm blaming the refs damnit.

He coached afraid today that’s for sure, but if the players execute we win today. 

If he didn’t act like a pussy, we win the game by 10 or more. Lots of poo slinging in here but OP has some points. I watched it in person and the crowd was moaning the entire game as we kept playing conservative and it bit us in the ass multiple times. We left a lot of points on the board as if we were just trying to make sure we had a home game in the playoffs not like a team that has nothing to lose. Hekker and Eddie weren’t on their game and we continued to defer to them. I’d rather we got stuffed on every short yardage 4th down and our team learned from it as if it were practice than not give them a chance to get them.

He shouldn’t ever coach afraid. We aren’t KC who has Mahomes (and the refs) to win in the end. We need to go for it because we aren’t a good team yet and it’s the only way we win games.

It was just really frustrating to dominate the game for 3 quarters and go down by one after a single fourth quarter drive.

yeah, I don't get conservative play for a bottom rung team that isn't actually going to do anything.   Be aggressive and go for points.  4th and 1 should often be a no brainer.   You got nothing to lose.

Canales coached like all the rest of the coaches we've ever had. Scared to take a chance. 

Ron finally learned to riverboat.. Hopefully canales can too

Only because he thought he was fired already and then the name stuck. That man owes Cam his entire career. Never had a winning season without him.

I don't know how anybody watches this team this season and has this take. 

We are miles better than we were week 1. 

 

If we were slightly better he would be in serious contention for coach of the year, and he should be. My only concern right now is that we win too much and lose draft position to get even better.

    • How about this. We'll revisit this discussion after the Eagles game. Deal? If Bryce lights them up as the current #1 defense I'll happily eat crow and become a believer.
    • I'm no sports psychologist but it does seem like he got through a serious mental block. Someone mentioned above that Thielen alluded to Bryce feeling like he needed to be perfect every play. That feels accurate. Just from watching, it feels like Bryce 1.0 was playing to not mess up (which is the #1 way to make mess up!) instead of just playing the game. Silly as it may seem, watching him dance after running one in yesterday led me to believe Bryce 2.0 is a thing and a legitimate one at that. In the past, it seemed like he felt the need to remain stoic at all times, which is cool if it's your personality but probably is a pretty uncomfortable facade to keep up. Looking back and seeing the way he showed emotion at Bama, that stoic guy isn't him. He's playing the game again, smiling and having fun. Credit to him because having to take a step back like he did could have been a fatal blow for the confidence. I just want to continue to see progress week to week. It won't necessarily be linear but that's OK. He's breaking through blocks and barriers we weren't sure were possible a few weeks ago. Who knows where that trajectory takes him?
    • Stopped reading after the first sentence. I said he did a near 180 from earlier and your first sentence rewrites my words. Grasping at technicalities of general statements.
