Sure you didn't. I said it is week 1, and I'll wait a few weeks to judge THIS team.

And you jumped right in with. "It's not week 1. It's week 35". You may not have exactly twisted my words. But you sure ignored them to dump on Rhule.

So like I said. Exactly how this board works. I'm Wrong because I didn't dis on Rhule, and have a differing thought line. 

Several people this offseason told me they had "facts" to back up that Rhule was going to be a better coach this year.

When I asked them to cite what those facts were, the vast majority stated one of two things: "His college teams got better in year three" or "We had the number two defense in the NFL last year".

As has been pointed out, Rhule's college teams also improved in year two, but his pro team finished with the same record and actually looked worse so counting on the year three magic doesn't really make much sense.

The number two defense thing was always silly, but I think after Sunday not too many people are going to be referring back to that.

Now "I'm trying to be positive" or "I'm trying to keep an open mind" is perfectly valid, but it's not a fact. You said "facts", so with that in mind I'm willing to hear what facts you think you have.

I'd keep in mind though that since you said you're not talking about the past, anything you cite from previous seasons will be hindered by that statement.

      It’s comes down to special teams.

      By KingKucci · Posted

      Rod has absolutely been my favorite coach of all time, but its not working in the playoffs.  Its just not.  Hindsight, we should have went with the goalie rotation we did the regular season.  It was working.  Freddie is coincidently getting worse in the playoffs.  You see the correlation there.    However, missing Pesce and Fast is not helping.  Benching Noesen in Ot last night when net from goals was working is mind numbing.  Rod needs to be held accountable.     We also need our shutdown line back.  I know fast is out but Staal Maartnook and "insert" need to play.  But like you said, nothing matters if your special teams are poo.  and boy are they poo.  7 power play goals allowed in 6 games is how bad the PK was to start the year.  Yall remeber how awful we were to start the year.  Power play is atroicus.  Its 0-11 is insane how bad that it is.  You cant and wont win against the presidents club winner playing like that.  Lastly, goalie play is average to bad.  You arent going to win allowing 8 goals in 2 games.  We need our goalies to make saves.   Discipline.  We don't have it.  We know the Rags are going to flop.  We know the refs are going to fug us.  Its what it is.  How do you fix it?  Mindful of your stick.  Forecheck...hit it and see it.  Dont give them the chance to flop or call penalties.     Rod needs to be held accountable.  Its not working.  Playoff Rod is playoff rod for a reason.  not because we made it up.     Lastly, no its not over.  These are correctable things.  We could easily win the next two at home and boom, GAME ON!  But for that to happen, Discipline, PK, PP, and goalie must be better. Its alot more than just winning 5v5.  They all tie together.  If I had to pick 1 to be good.  PK.  Stopping that like we did all year, would solve most problems.
