Game Grades: Panthers at Bears

I blame the shanked punt on coaching. Also, we aren't having this conversation if they didn't allow the Bears to play pitch and catch on the final drive. We aren't having this conversation if they dumped the read option after the Giants game. (If they never applied the read option) We aren't having this conversation if they didn't allow Roddy White to get behind the defense 60 yards down the field. I can go on and on...... It's the same story, different chapter.

then you will blame anything on the coaching.

btw.....if your going to blame them then you need to give them credit for taking away

one of the bears biggest weapons ie....Hester and their special teams.

I hear people everywhere going "the coaches came in with a great gameplan" and giving them a lot of credit. They made some changes under duress after Hurney was used to send a message to them that noone is safe then they poo the bed in the game when it mattered.

Here's all we need to know about our coaching staff. We have lost games this year by: 6, 2, 4, 5, and 1. Consistently losing close games is indisputably a coaching problem. A well coached team finds a way to win some of those games. A poorly coached team finds a way to lose them. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding.

...Even the players are voicing their opinions on this matter.

Funnily enough this is an even further indictment against this coaching staff. If they had even a semblance of control / respect in that locker room players would not be making the statements they are.

Is there a grade below F that we can give them?

winning teams find a way to do it every week regardless of how the odds may be stacked against them. losing teams find a way to lose regardless of how well they perform.

this is a losing team and the coaching staff isn't making it any better.

i'd like to know how many of those games we've lost this year were games that we had the lead in the 2nd half or even in the 4th quarter.

I keep checking the internet to see if Rivera has been fired. Since the gods answered my prayers about Hurney....

the staff came in with a great game plan and the players excuted it.

we took away their biggest weapon....Hester.

this game came down to a couple plays that didn't go our way.

if there is no shanked punt or a smitty slip........... we arn't even having this discussion.
