just venting...

i don't post here on the forums very much. i'm more of a lurker but i just wanted to get a few things off of my chest to maybe help get this bad taste out of my mouth...

it would be easy to point the finger at jake and blame him for the game last night but in all reality there was enough blame to go around. i'll list a few in no particular order...

1. like all teams we live and die with our QB. when jake is on he's really good. when he's bad he's terrible as we all saw last night. this year he seemed to minimize the bad jake sightings. the tampa bay and oakland games come to mind. i was at the oakland game and seeing one of his bad games is worse in person than watching it on tv. i can't imagine how it must have felt seeing his performance at home in person.

2. the coaching staff is supposed to prepare the players and put them in a position to succeed. WTF happened last night?

offense - the 1st drive was beautiful. we ran the ball and dumped the ball off short. they kept calling pass plays even though everyone could clearly see that jakes timing was off. after the 1st couple interceptions while the game was still some what close, why not go back to what got us there? the running game. everyone will keep saying the cards shut down our run game, i'm gonna contest that WE shut ourselves down in the 1st half. it almost seemed like the coaches wanted to turn us into a passing team overnight and if it had worked they would've looked like geniuses but they failed to adjust after it didn't work.

defense - what can i say that hasn't been said yet? TRGO is a piece of crap! with bolden out, anyone with a pulse could see fitz was the guy we had to stop. too many times he was allowed to come all the way accross the field for an easy reception. a few blown coverages were one thing but was it me or were we in a soft zone most of the night? why were we not manned up on him all night with help over the top? if breaston beat us it'd be different but the guy who we all knew could beat us did because we let him. also, why did we let warner have all night to pass? we obviously weren't doubling up on fitz so it's not like we didn't have an extra guy. the few times we did blitz in the 2nd half it seemed to bother him at least a little. sending a 4 man rush that wasn't generating enough pressure is terrible.

something has got to happen. i really believe we had the talent to win the superbowl and with the pending free agent status' or gross and peppers and another passing year the proverbial window for winning a superbowl is slowly closing. we need a change in philosophy. i'm not saying necessarily to dump the coaching staff but if that's what needs to happen i'm sure that no one could argue. whatever we need to do to get away from this conservative non adjusting stubborness maybe this is the game the big cat needed to finally see to notice it.

take it for what it's worth and if some of the things i've said doesn't make sense or if i haven't expressed it the right way i'm sorry because i didn't proof read it. my mind is too scrambled out of frustration and sadness right now because like 26 other teams now, we have to get ready for the offseason and "wait until next year". :mad2:
