. No, literally, I feel sick. These guys are so hard to watch. This is what we get after a bye week? Is there EVEN A DEFENSE ON THE FIELD?!?! Pretty sure they are still on their bye week. 
Same stuff, different day. I think I'd be more shocked if they DIDN'T disappoint! 
You said "at his feet" in your initial post.Purple Reign wrote: That's the definition - you figure it out. If a player spins the ball when no other opponent is around, then it's not taunting. But if you do it next to an opponent, then it's considered taunting. Not all that difficult to understand.
We need CowherPurplemania wrote: For me, someone that has a concept of TODAY'S game. That means no to these old school coaches like Cowher, Gruden, and even Dungy.
Someone that will get in the face of all our primadona overpaid slobs and call them out in the post game presser when they play like this insted of Fraziers "I need to be their buddy" attitude. If they dont like getting embarrassed then play better...period.Hi Mel! You on board with the calls for coaching changes too?MelanieMFunk wrote:These Vikings make me want to
Side note: R. Cobb might be done for...a while. He just took an UGLY hit to his knee. Sounds like they lost J. Jones earlier, too.
I felt like we added talent from last year's team, but we look so much less inspired. That's where my "what happened?" question is coming from. On D, we only lost Jasper Brinkley... and gained some first round rookies. I don't get how we've dropped off so much.Purplemania wrote:
Lack of talent and stubbornness by the coaching staff. However, I blame the coaching staff more. I think to be a great coach in this league, you got to play to play to your player's strength, not force them to play to your scheme. This is evident by the teams doing well today. Look at how they adjust their schemes to make sure their best players shine.
Can you point to a source somewhere that verifies this? All I see is that taunting will be called more. Can't find any reference where they say just spinning the ball will be a penalty.me4get wrote: Spinning the ball at anytime is supposed to be unsportsmanlike conduct this year. Also using the ball for any celebration, e.g. pointing it for first down is also the same penalty.

The dropoff from Winfield to Robinson is staggering. Say what you will about Brinkley, he's a solid two-down run stopper. Erin seems to be mediocre to below average at both run and pass defense. Still have a gaping hole at NT (IMO).Texas Vike wrote: I felt like we added talent from last year's team, but we look so much less inspired. That's where my "what happened?" question is coming from.

Agreed. This team has tons of talent. Coaching decisions have been awful.me4get wrote: NOT lack of talent, COACHING!!!!
Cook's holding, Sanford's INT drop can not be attributed to coaching.yezzir wrote:Agreed. This team has tons of talent. Coaching decisions have been awful.
That should be his only role.Just Me wrote:Robinson made the stop on special teams. I'll take it.
