Curse got and free pass for the terrible blocking, Lockette was retained and Bevell....we know how that went. No one got the stick for the mistake and it has lingered. Had someone got the axe, there would've been some relief in the mind of the players.
You talk like you've been running a franchise for the last decade and have some inside knowledge that the rest of us don't. You don't have a clue what is going on behind the doors any more than we do. As I said in another thread, there are 2 recent examples of great coaches, Belichek and Saban both making coaching changes in the middle of seasons and those are 2 pretty successful coaches so the reality is sometimes changes are good and sometimes they are bad. You don't make a change for the sake of making a change but you have to not be afraid to make a change when something isn't working. A good management team knows this.
What you saw yesterday and this season is your idea of what is working? Your mistake is thinking that sucking is the only form of not working but under performing is another form of not working. This team has lots of talent, enough to get by bad teams, average teams despite not playing well and occasionally they rise up to play to potential but that lack of consistency has cost them in the playoffs for a couple seasons now. If they play well and lose I would listen to your argument that it's working but we didn't lose in style, we lost ugly. We were lucky to get past minny last year, we got trounced by carolina, and we were gifted the lions but got run over by Atlanta. It's not working, it hasn't been working for a couple seasons now. We are an elitely talented team playing like a middling team and that blame has to fall somewhere. Again I ask, if you can't ship out players what is left?
