Then again, Fox hasn't lost 4 games in a row either.

BTW, Tomlin also stated that he was about to unleash hell in December...that was right before he lost to the Raiders. Words are meaningless without actions backing them up.

Pretty much. You say you'll do something and then not do it, you'll only get bashed even more for saying it.

I don't buy anything a Coach says publicly. Look at Tomlin, yeah he says things fans love. And Fox says nothing. But Somehow here we are again in a bad year riding the playoff elimination line. So Fox must say the the right things Tuesday thru Saturday. To the people that matter...the players.

The reason why i posted this was more about his philosophy on things. He makes changes when things arent happening. he expects his team to perform. no excuses. his fanbase feels that and i bet the team feels that too.

He has recently won a superbowl, he could sit back on his laurels and say " hey what ive done is good enough, its worked before why not agian." But he doesnt. he challenges his guys to get better and looks for different ways to win. this qoute says it all:

"Nothing stays the same in this game," Tomlin said. "Players are ascending, players are descending. People catch up with schemes, schemes evolve. Playing and coaching, this thing is ever-changing"

That is my problem with fox. His stubborness and his unwillingness to change. Every commentator and fan knows of fox stubborness. He keeps the same game plan. if it works once it will always work, until he is ablsolutely forced to change it. his conservative nature combined with his loyalty does not make for a good combination.

his philosophy is outdated. the nfl is starting to pull away from that philosophy of run the ball and play defense. dont get me wrong, these things are still important but they cant be the only things anymore. combine that with the apprehension to draft ANY qb of value and you have the product today: a mediocre team , never horrible, but never elite.

he lacks the killer instict the edge of the top coaches. not going into a season saying at least lets try to win 3 out 4 each quarter.

P.S

What is the crap about not announcing starters! what kind of advantage does that give? What are teams that scared of delhomme??? is there any other coach that does this?

Whats the disadvantage? It's not neccarily about one QB there worried about and one there not, but specifically there are different tendecies and habits each QB has, diffrent stengths an weaknesses. Coaches watch specific tape on the player to find these and gameplan around it. In theroy if you have two players who could play, it prevents you from being 100 percent set in one gameplan.

Of course this doesnt make or break an opposing defence, but coaches will do anything to get the slightest edge.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
