Here's the reality, and it's the first time I'll have questioned Rod's coaching possibly.

 

The boys have worked hard as hell. They've absolutely given the effort. Nobody with two functioning eyes can in good faith say they haven't. So we're struggling. Either A) Bob is a god, B) Florida is a better hockey team or C) our strategy/lines aren't working.

Now, multiple of these can be true simultaneously but the reality is this. If we roll the same lines and the same game plan in game 4, then Rod failed. Period. Even if we win, it's not a winning strategy for the series.

If we mix it up and still lose? Then so be it. But you HAVE to try something new

I think Rod`s coaching is fine. We just need more clutch guys that are a threat whenever they get the puck. They dont have to be good at anything else as long as they can help us to stop hitting posts and start knocking in goals. Especially on the powerplay. Which, btw whoever is in charge of that should be fired in the offseason.

I believe Jeff Daniels runs the PP and in my opinion he should have never been hired.

I love Rod but I think he made a mistake hiring Daniels.

I feel like Warsofsky should have been promoted from Chicago but instead he went to San Jose and now he’s being talked about as a future HC candidate.

It's obvious that what we are trying is not working.

guess I'm an optimist but ALL these games could have gone our way if just a few post shots would have  gone in - Bob is on a roll but our goalies have been really good, Panthers have peaked at the right time and maybe it's their year, but I put little blame on Rod or the team for that matter. Only fault is Waddel not  getting a stud at the deadline.

I spoke about this at length following the NJ series. RBA changed up the lines to create better defensive matchups against NJ's speed. It worked perfectly from a defensive perspective. But, almost accidentally, it also created offense (goals) because NJ couldn't match them or just weren't ready for them.

Why did RBA find it necessary to run those same lines against a Florida team that has nowhere near the speed or offensive depth of NJ? I have no clue. I would have thought RBA goes back to the lines he used against the Isles. Face it, you've got 3 lines out there who were put together for defensive purposes and they're now having to work overtime to score goals... with little to no success.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
