In John Foxes first year, Rodney Peete was the starting QB, and we started 3-0. This coming off an awful 1-15 season, and Fox had the same players mind you. We ended up 7-9, winning 4 out of our last 5. In his season year, Fox went to CAREER BACKUP JAKE DELHOMME and started 5-0, and of course, ended up a John Kasey kick away from winning a Super Bowl.

Ron Rivera punted the ball on a 4th an 1 from the 45 with a 6'6 260 QB that would have won the game.

Offence is but the defense is not.

The only year our defense was actually top tier was 2003 when we everybody on the line was a stud and our secondary actually belonged in the NFL. Every year after that we had a lot of injuries, and it was never really that consistent, and a lot of patch work and good coaching went into our decent defense. I agree on the offense.

Say what you want about Fox but when he was allowed to he fielded a good defense. Not a great one but itwas simple and would take advantage of the other teams mistakes. The rest of his coaching flat out sucked though.

So and this is interesting because THIS team is way better than any team John Fox ever had here, and he won.

lol....that simply isn't true.

Fox has some better teams. Don't sleep on how great defensively some of his early teams were up front. We were the NYG's back in the day....hands down best DL in the NFL. Some of those also featured damn good special teams to go with it.

2003 > 2012. Don't let the video game offense fool you. Thay team was flat out built to play in 2003 with the rules in place

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By frankw · Posted

      I think the Bevell hire has more to do with adding actual veteran head coaching experience to the staff than anything else. But I do wholeheartedly agree that the obsession in general with Seattle needs to come to an end. I mean we plucked the one guy there to be our GM who turned out to be our worst GM in franchise history in just a few short years and that's really saying something given our history there. Clearly trying to mimick Seattle in any way has not been productive. As far as Idzik many of us have asked the same question but at this point in time it doesn't really matter anymore because Canales is either going to lead this franchise to a winning record or he will be shown the door.

      By strato · Posted

      That’s why Bevell is a good move. Idzik might not be chopped liver, he is just inexperienced and even less ready to be the play caller than Canales. I still say the playbook is limited which is a hinderance to calling plays, I would imagine.    Anyway Beavis lol… no Bevell, got to consecutive SBs as an OC and won one with 48 points or something. Should have won the second one. And had several more good years there.    They were the team we had to learn how to beat it took us til the third year I think before we could go into Seattle and successfully compete.   That is glass half full thinking, yep, but that is head and shoulders over what we have had here for a while. Certainly now.     In addition.. It was Canales’ boss. He knew more then , I would bet he knows more now. I can’t look at this as anything but a potential positive thing.  Hell he might be the guy that can look at Dave and say what the fug are you doing? And Dave will listen. I think I can hope for that.  Maybe not.
