I've been through Joe Pendry's completely unimaginative offenses. I've watched Rodney Peete struggle under center, and I've sat through some pretty miserable seasons. But I've never, ever seen an offense as ill-prepared to face a defense as I did tonight. It's not as if we were just outplayed, we were severely outcoached. Even last year, when we went through our quarterback carousel, the offense clicked better than it did today.

A lot of people are going to blame Jake for our ineffectiveness tonight. But how do you explain the lack of production from our running game? Where were the screens and underneath routes to take advantage of what Arizona gives up to everyone? Who called all the plays over the top to Smitty, and why did they continue to be called after it was obvious that Arizona was following Seattle's playbook from 2005? Seriously, what the HELL happened to the running game?

Yeah, a lot of people will blame this on Jake, but Joe Montana wouldn't have been any more effective with the plays called tonight. Please go back to the Browns. You suck at playoff football, and that's unacceptable.

A great deal of it IS Jake's fault. I've stuck up for him for years, but tonight was ridiculous. BUT, that being said, I believe a great deal of his execution goes hand-in-hand with the plays being called. Look at what the Cardinals were doing. Long crossing routes, screens, slants, mixing in the run.

Look at ours... Toss, toss, toss. Toss, draw, pass = int. It's the same mundane, vanilla sh*t every week. I said in the other thread, his play calling almost gave away about 3 games this year, with the Saints being the most recent... Tonight it bit us in the ass, to the point we couldn't recover.

Turd is an idiot, but the defense would still be able to do a little something just off talent, if they weren't on the field for almost 20 minutes in the first half.

Blame Jake if you want, but where was the running game? We ran all over the Giants, are you telling me the Cards have more talent on defense? If it was all Jake then you would see us having success on the ground.

Jake has a track record of success in the playoffs. Coaches manage their players and put them in a position to succeed. After the second interception tonight, there were no adjustments and no changes to the play-calling. I believe this is on Davidson.

Just curious, if you think this is all on Jake can you explain why we pretty much did the same thing in the second half after our lack of success in the first?

I never thought I would really miss Henning, but after that abortion of an offensive showing I sure do now.

and just as much on Trgo. The cards scored at will. Haha the only thing that did run half ass right was ST and I have wanted Crossman's head on a stick for a while.

Blame goes to, in this order:

#1 - Davidson - Why the hell are you calling a QB Bootleg when the pocket hasn't been collapsing? Why so many pass plays?? Especially on 1st down... ESPECIALLY on 1st and 5!!!

#2 - Jake Delhomme - Bad day to turn 34. Also a bad day to have your worst ever day in your career.

#3 - Trgo - For our defensive ineptitude. We looked like fish out of the water in the 1st half. We didn't know WHAT was going on or WHAT TO DO!!??!

#4 - John Fox - Whenever you would like to manage a game, please let somebody know.... When your QB has committed 4 turnovers in a playoff game, it is time to put in the backup. No questions asked.. Perhaps Fox should've pulled an Andy Reid and benched Jake for a game... Sometimes in order to take a step forward you have to take a step back.. Sick of his BS post game talk also.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
