I usually don't start posts about firing this or that person, but we seriously have to change our defensive and offensive coordinators. Our defense has absolutely NO killer instinct. They play with NO aggression. Even Wake has disappeared for the most part this season. With the overall talent we have on the defensive side of the ball, this is inexcusable. We have regressed dramatically under Coyle and our defense just got embarrassed by a 3rd string QB with basically no WRs that anyone has ever heard of. We got embarrassed by their ground game. The only reason we got the pick was because of a bad throw. It wasn't a good play at all. Just a bad throw. Our rush defense has fallen so far from years past that it's pretty alarming. Someone mentioned Rex Ryan as defensive coordinator in an earlier post. I kind of chuckled at it at first. NOW, well...it's got to be better than Coyle...easily actually. This team needs a little spirit - offensively and defensively.

Offensively, I can identify the play we're going to run right away the majority of the time. There is no creativity whatsoever. The opposing defenses are rarely, if ever, surprised. I honestly do not know how we've won 8 games. IF Sherman and Coyle are back next season, I will ****ing puke. HORRIBLE play calling on BOTH sides of the ball. I even question the preparation for this game all around. We started horribly and ended horrendously. We barely broke 100 yards of total offense. And we did only because of a 50 yard pass to Hartline that obviously didn't matter.

Lastly, we need to draft O-line with every ****ing pick we have in the next draft (UNLESS we can get lucky enough to get Ebron from UNC. But after that it's o-line, o-line, o-line.) I'm literally sick of this Jekyl and Hyde ****. This team has major issues and it starts in the trenches on both sides of the ball. Offensively we just suck at run blocking and pass protecting. Defensively, we lack ANY kind of killer instinct. We do not punch the opposing team in the mouth. Instead we are the other team's BITCH. We need a defensive coordinator that can make this team play with fire. Coyle is NOT that guy. And Mike Sherman is a heap of **** and it's compounded by the lack of even an average o-line.
 
Coyle is actually a good DC.

The bills just exposed our weaknesses effectively.

I respectfully disagree. We've obviously digressed under him as a coordinator in several areas of the defense. Rush defense the most obvious one. Our secondary is the only area that has shown improvement.
 
Agredd. Sherman is a definite must go. Coyle on the other hand, although he gets too much credit on this board, he is a borderline DC. I can handle him not getting fired but that doesnt change the fact we still need an upgrade at DC, just not as bad as OC.
 
Sherman is terrible. Theres nothing else that can even be said about it...just terrible.

Getting rid of better lbs is the reason why our rush d is so bad.

Dansby has instincts, Ellerbe has none.
 
Our lbs blow. However, our talent looks better suited to a 3-4 defense. So,weare not really using what we have effectively.

I never saw Dansby do **** while he was with the Dolphins! And the defense was on the field the whole game today and ONLY gave up 19 points.
 
You didnt see him do **** because he didnt do ****. We were right to not resign him however we didnt get the right replacements.

There is no question in my mind that you are right about that. But the defense, as a whole, has really taken a stumble. We are in the lower half of the league in every category. A lot of that, IMO, has to do with the coordinator - not just personnel.
 
I absolutely agree. Why in the world do we continue to run up the middle and get stuffed each time? We may as well drop back and throw the ball for the lack of respect we earn by running. I refuse to listen to comments about the weather...it was the same weather for both teams and only one was able to overcome the elements. The lack of fire and intensity has been a sore spot for me all season including the sporadic wins we have have enjoyed. again and again I have posted with remorse regarding our inability to score points. Wasn't Hogan on our team during a preseason??? There he is making plays against us. Carpenter??? ok there he is scoring against us in inclimate weather. losing to a team like this is totally unacceptable, but twice??? inluding at home after a bye week against a scrub QB??? Getting to the playoffs would have been nice all warm and tingly but honestly we do not play with a desire to win
