You know, I am so goddamn pissed off.

Rarely will I blame a loss on coaching. But lets see what we did here:

You have an opponent qb who blows, who can't throw the ball down the field to save his life. An opponent who has one playmaker, a rb. So What do you do?

Do you stack the box and take away the run? Move your DB's up and compress the secondary to take away the short pass?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.......

You play your vanilla, soft two cover zone, playing right INTO the strengths of your opppnent. BRILLIANT!

On offense, you're facing an oppenent who has made no secret of the fact that their game play is to limit you're opporutnities with the football, on offense they're just going to run, run run the ball, throw short passes to eat up the clock.

So what do you do? Do you run a quick, up tempo offense to counter that, maximize the number of times you have the ball? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...........your very first drive takes nearly 9 minutes off the clock in the first quaarter, essentially playing right into their hands, again. BRILLIANT!

At the end of the game, do you use up all of the time on the clock, forcing the game to OT????

NOOOOOOOOO......you leave plenty of time on the clock for them to drive downfield and kick the game winning field goal. BRILLIANT!!!!

Won't even get into the drop passes, turnovers in the red zone. Hey Hayden, nice catch!!!
