Five turnovers and four forced punts. All we needed was one more forced punt or one more turnover, right? Meanwhile we expect a injury riddled and TIRED defense (Seven punts by Dallas and 3/11 on 3rd down) to just frikkin stop them this one more time.
I respect what he's accomplished vs. where he came from and what tools he had to work with. That 50 million guaranteed contract, the coup of the Century. Gotta admire that.
And the D didn't really play all that great, giving up alot of yards. It was far from their best result.
That's not what I am doing at all. I said, "It's a wash" because it is. The defense gives you five turnovers, you should win the game and not just give the ball back to the opponent all five times. And you're saying the defense merely needed to come up with one more turnover, or force just one more punt. See? It's the same as me saying gee, we sure coulda used some points off those five turnovers. Sure coulda used one or two less punts than the seven we did. Both statements are true. It's a wash.
You mean, 30 minutes? Actual time of possession not counting bench time? He's never actually had to play for 58 minutes.
Depends on our definition of shitting the bed.
Not at all, I said earlier redball gets enamored with what he sees on film, and sticks with it too long and doesn't adjust - even when it's been made abundantly clear it's not working. I wasn't laying any blame at all, just pointing out how things went on some of the close losses.
You're comparing a game which had only one punt, where neither defense stopped the other to a significant degree, to what happened vs. Detroit? Comparing a game where the turnovers were even vs. a game where Dallas was +5 but scored no points off the five turnovers?
And, you never saw one.
