Interesting statistic they were talking about on the radio regarding Trestman. Every year he was in the league as an offensive coordinator, his second season, his offenses have fallen off tremendously. Only once did he make it to a third year. Here's hoping he keeps his streak alive. :v:

Seriously, you could've had Bruce Arians, who had a much better pedigree and had been an NFL coach in the last five years. It really makes me wonder how Emery survives this.

Emery whiffed hard on Trestman but generally speaking a GM's first coaching pick doesn't doom him, especially not with the Bears, who are reluctant to fire anyone. Emery's drafting hasn't been God-awful, at least.

I still think Trestman survives this season, unfortunately.

The way I remember it, Smith wrapped the Carolina game in a bow and handed it to Rivera, but Graham Gano missed his second ever field goal at home... it was luck that won that game.

edit: I'm having a seriously hard time believing the Saints dropped 3 in a row at the Superdome. It makes me think they have as much of a chance to turn it around as Tampa does.

Any given sunday focuses on Mike Smith's mistakes and descent into poor coaching: http://www.footballoutsiders.com/any-given-sunday/2014/any-given-sunday-browns-over-falcons

Basically that whole drive was a colossal fuckup, from the Falcons running hurry up at midfield, when they should've taken their time, leading into the insane timeout usage at the end of the game.

Personally, I think that 3rd down pass was a fine play call, it was just executed poorly. They had the right matchups and two open receivers immediately.

Hurry-up is where Ryan and that offense thrives. They used it to get deep enough to win the game, and then they stopped. What happened after that is what baffles me.

He gets poo poo on because he was playing for a 55 yard field goal, and would have left atlanta 90 seconds on the clock. These situations aren't similar.

I think he does too, but it really depends on how the rest of the season plays out. They have a very realistic chance of losing out. The Lions twice, the Cowboys, the Saints and the Vikings.

I honestly don't see how they can let him keep his job. I get that Cutler turns the ball over, but you can't coach scared and that is exactly what they are doing. This team is failing in every level of the game.

I don't think Emery should be fired. As much as people want to blame him for Trestman, I don't think anyone looks at our roster and think it lacks talent. People like to bring up McClellin to poo poo on his drafts, but he also drafted Jeffrey in that draft. He seems to be hitting on young players at a much better rate than the rest of the league, and he has done a great job of using free agency to fill those gaps.

It's even worse than that. He drafted 3 WR's who haven't played 1 snap this season. It's almost hard to believe how pathetic that is. Just the idea of holding all 12 draft picks and not moving up or down in the draft to get targeted players shows that he just has no idea what he's doing.

Long is decent, but Mills gets worked whenever there is any type of athletic pass rusher on his side, He's still spinning in circles from what J-Pep and Cameron Wake did to him. Bushrod has been subpar, and De La Puente/Garza/ have been subpar as well.

This seems to cover how much Idzick has bungled the draft fairly well.

It's not even just Idzick though, this team has been playing sloppy, disorganized, lazy football since week 1. The more time the Jets have to prepare, the WORSE they do. That isn't anything new to this season, it's been like that for all of Rex's tenure. From memory, it felt like the Jets have gotten blown out once a season. It's a little worse than that actually. Losses by at least 21 points:

2009: 0
2010: 1
2011: 2
2012: 4
2013: 3
2014: 3

And there was more than a few games that were losses by 20 points exactly. gently caress.

The Jets have the been a putrid, unwatchable offensive team for 5 years under Rex and thats what that gets you. What's amazing is how easily they are able to fool themselves based on meaningless wins vs bad teams at the end of last season and vs Pit a few weeks ago.

That was a really good move by Carolina. Stash him on the p squad and let Proehl work with him for a year.

I watched him play at GT. The guy has all the physical ability in the world but has absolutely no idea how to play the position. Getting drafted by the Jets didn't help that.

I havent been able to watch closely enough to be sure about the Offense being the coordinator/position coaches or the players (mostly the O-line), but it is quite obviously Very Bad and something needs to change. I am hoping they have a trade-able first rounder so someone can get their QB and the Jaguars can get some extra picks because they have been drafting so well. I am absolutely amazed the defense has been playing as well as it has considering the complete lack of a noteworthy corner and only one noteworthy safety (who is a rookie) being on the roster.

The line is improved, but our second best lineman has been hurt most of the season and Bushrod hasn't been nearly as good as last year. I wouldn't be surprised to find out he's been playing hurt. He's been especially bad since that weird non-football injury a few weeks ago. Before that, I didn't really notice him being subpar.

Also, Trestman did a good job of bringing in an extra lineman to make sure Cutler had more time. There is no doubting that the line was significantly improved last year, but at this point I wonder how much of that was actually Trestman. We brought in two free agents, drafted two lineman and basically switched four out of five lineman. It could be as simple as being more talented than it was. Personally, I think Kromer has as much to do with the improvement as Trestman.

That game was a coaching retard fight. While fair enough Gano should have slotted the first kick. The Panthers still had time on the board and a fresh set of downs. The game had been up and down back and fourth and the entire last 20 minutes had been Cam shredding the Atlanta secondary, something Ryan had done all day to the Panthers secondary. The team was fired up as poo poo and clicking and then they took their foot off the gas. Rivera was attempting to give Carolina a tiny lead with over a minute thirty on the clock. Ryan had been trouncing the panthers backfield all day and expecting them to magically make a play was stupid in itself.

Both head coaches tried their best to give that game away. Rivera failed spectacularly though because he completely misread the temperature of the guys he's been coaching for three years. They were hungry, they were executing and they were champing at the bit for a chance to land a knock out blow. You've got two receivers who're over 6"5 who'd shown the ability to get open. Why not give them a chance to finish out the game? The players practically deflated when he called run plays, when they broke the huddle I knew the call. They didn't give a poo poo. Avant got cut because he all but said this publicly.

I think it would be crazy to fire Bradley at this point. I mean the team isn't great but they at least look better than years past and are building a nucleus, I think any sign of regression next year could spell trouble, but I think any head coach needs a good three years to rebuild a team from the poo poo show that Jacksonville was.

I didn't say that, that was somebody else. The only defense of AJ Jenkins I made is when the initial bust conversation happened I said that it was way too early to write off a guy's NFL career after 7 games, which is something I would absolutely stand behind for any player. Obviously in the time since Jenkins has shown that he wasn't getting playing time on the Niners for a reason.

AAA DOLFAN posted:

The Niners were linked heavily to Hill pre-draft by a lot of pundits. I hated him as a prospect and wanted them to take just about anyone else. Of course, they ended up taking somebody just about as bad. That entire draft was a debacle for the Niners, thankfully it seems to be a one-time misstep because this draft class is already dramatically exceeding expectations.
