The one-on-one matchup we keep losing is Ron and His Band of Idiot Coaches versus whoever is coaching the opposition. We lose that battle every time. Missed opportunities, Ron. Missed opportunities. 

I think this is likely on target.

The Bucs decided not to let one person beat them and dedicated extra attention and resources to CMC. We watched one journeyman LB who averaged 3.5 sacks per year rack up 3 in one game and will need to give more help next time to stop the next OLB from setting a personal record. 

I’m guessing the help RR refers to here is when Barrett only had hits and pressures instead of sacks. I don’t blame Williams so much, he is playing out of position and being asked to do things beyond his abilities.

Given his track record, it's amazing how long he will takes this beating before going away from his vision and going towards trying something different regardless of personal opinion or philosophy. I wonder if we just put Little as a extra blocker next to William's the next game or old Manhurtz?

As much as I love the Panthers I have no interest in hearing what Ron has to say.

Me neither. It's always the same story. Missed opportunities. Players failing to make plays. He and his staff are flawless. They always draw up a brilliant game plan and call the exact right play to expertly exploit the weaknesses of the other team and our shitty players just can't take advantage of these opportunities gifted them.

Ron’s calling plays now. I don’t think people realize how big of a responsibility that can be. He no longer gets to focus on the high-level stuff, like timeouts and clock management and the flow of the game.

The proper move was to find a proven, adequate defensive coordinator with experience in multiple schemes. This back-and-forth with Eric Washington, and then just giving the play calling duties back to Ron, it doesn’t feel very analytics driven. It feels sloppy and cheap. 

And before you tell me how great the defense has played: They have played slightly above average. With all the attention on the new scheme that isn’t really a new scheme, and with the added pressure on Ron having to call plays, folks had higher expectations than this.

I am still amazed that people listen to these talks and expect to learn anything from them. Ron does say the same coach speak every week. They all do

  Well the other team made more plays than we did.

We have to get better and improve.

Its a long season and we have to take them one game at a time.

And on and on.

I don't listen to it because I know what he is going to say before he says it. Coaches hate these talks and do them because they have to.  Anyone with a modicum of IQ accept them for what they are, more tweets and stories for reporters who dissect every morsel of pablum they are being  fed.
