In the years I've been watching football, which isn't very long, I've never seen a team that was so sabotaged by it's coaching staff. I mean I've seen bad coaching, I've seen bad teams, but I never seen a team held hostage by the coaches before. This is insanity.

Have you ever seen a coaching staff leave a working offensive style, in favor of something comletely new? Then once that new idea fails on it's head, they refuse to go back to what worked? You would have a hard time convincing me that was anything less than sabotaging. I mean this staff should be put on trial before court, because what they have done to this team is straight criminal. The funny thing is Rivera acting like he doesn't know what's wrong when he's speaking in his press conferences. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone when thinking about this team.

So now I'm not even mad at the coaches anymore, I think they proved they are insane at this point. Now I would like to ask the question about our players. We got real talent here, so why aren't they making a fuss about the coaching at this point? I said it before, if I were Cam, I would be in Rivera and Chud's ears about eliminating the read option. And if they won't hear that, I would start calling my own plays in the huddle. If they bench me, they bench me. If I were Josh Norman, I would start playing more man coverage. If they bench me, they bench me. These players are taking all the heat, when all of this is caused by our coaching staff. It's not right, it's downright criminal. So have you guys ever seen a situation like this?

start derek anderson!

Well if you consider that move to be insane, it may counter the insanity that is already being displayed. Kind of like curing a poison with a poison. Yet my argument with Derek Anderson is lost, because people seem to think I'm saying Anderson is a better QB than Cam. Or more talented than Cam. People will hear what they want to hear.

Just a couple of years ago, we had two of the better running backs in the league. Today, no one even knows who they are. Man, these guys don't get 15 carries between them. That is insane. With the kind of backs we have, our running game should be a strength. It's turned out to be our biggest weakness. What makes me mad is when I hear people saying Smitty, D-Will, and guys like that are done, when I know they can still play. I'm sick of looking at this mess, and no one is really getting on the coaches as much as they should. Half of the criticism is going to the players. I wish all of the criticism was going toward the coaches from the media and fans alike.

I understand the frustration, and I'm right there with you. But this line of thinking is a bit off IMHO. Do you have a boss? Do you always agree with what he/she asks you to do? No. But you do it anyway, cause you want to keep your job and keep those paychecks coming.

Defying coaches is a one-way ticket out of the NFL. Just ask Ray Edwards.

Yeah, but if I saw my boss running the business into the ground, I'm obligated to do something. First I would go to him/her, and talk about the problem. If he/she refuse to listen, then drastic measures should be taken. If I'm a person of intergrity, and people see me having to take drastic measures, they would look at that boss to see why I'm doing what I'm doing. Ray Edwards is not necessarily a class act. Seeing him acting up is nothing new. Plus the Falcons are a successful franchise under Mike Smith, they just struggle in the playoffs.

Cam the Scam is not making the throws, O-line cant make holes or protect, the freekin D cant cover Chitt, Coaching staff is lame big time, no adjustments @ halftime or during the game, so sickening to watch my team go down the drain,

and you guys are blind that think Cam is the answer, he's a great athlete but a so so QB, we'll NEVER win a SB with him,

im no expert, but Ive been a fan of football for 40 years, have watched many games/teams and this team SUCKS.

      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.
