Dude made too many questionable personal calls, who the F@CK is the GM in Denver, his @ss need to be fired as well......

This shouldnt fall totally on coach Mac, someone had to sign off on those deals!

When he wins a playoff game we'll talk.

This is the first time he's played for a decent team. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Besides, football is the ultimate team sport. One man can't win games by his lonesome...

football, baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer...they're all ultimate team sports.

Football is an entirely different entity.

- In baseball, a pitcher can shut down the opposition by himself, allowing his team to score 1 point and get a win.

- In basketball, a player can "go off" and pretty much single handedly win a game.

- In hockey, a goalie can dominate and allow his team to win by a single goal.

- In soccer, see above statement regarding hockey...

There are 3 phases to the game of football (offense, defense and special teams). A team must be good or at least above average in two of these 3 phases in order to win on a regular basis. There are 11 men on the field and each of them must pull their weight. For example, your offensive line may contain the best center in league, but if he has awful contributers on either side of him, it's not going to matter how well he plays. Your RB may be a beast, but if the offensive line can't open holes for him, he's going to be worthless the majority of the time. Your DE might be a freak of nature, but if the other guys on the defensive line are soft, he's going to have difficulty getting to the QB regularly. I could go on...

uh huh. And what team do you like?

I think too much blame is put on the coaches. Once teams get a new coach and win a couple games everyone says "look at the turnaround the interim coach has made". Ummmmm no, the players are just playing harder now because they know they're next in line to go.

your refering to the SLOP BOWL in Miami (29-17)

If I recall Indy's D shut down the Bears and only gave up 10 points and scored on a int return for a TD. The other 7 by the Bears was a 90 kickoff return by Hester.

Indy's defence and 3 Vinatieri FG won that game, NOT Payton Manning

but on the other hand Grossman is, was, and will always be HORRIBLE.....

The big name players aren't worried about getting fired. I suspect many times its actually more a case of many of the players playing down to get a coach removed that they dont like. Like what happened in Dallas this season.

Dallas was favored to represent the NFC in the playoffs this season and people had high expectations for them. They did not start the season playing bad just to get the coach fired. They have had winning records every year Wade Phillips was there. And trust me, after the coach gets fired and the team is still losing the next people out the door are the players.

Thank you. I didnt know Vinatieri, mathis, freeney, wayne, harrison, clark, among others, were mediocre?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

No I dont think the season started out that way, but it turned out that way.

Our RBs were playing pretty well in that game, but the coaches decided to put the outcome in Rex Grossman's hands. Every Bears fan knew what was going to happen.

I actually won about $500 because of that game. The money definitely softened the blow.
