Defence

[Raychatfin]

Can someone tell me why we changed from a 3-4 top 5 D to a regressing bottom of the pile 4-3 ?..
Oh I remember, Ireland'decision . :crazy:where's Mike Nolan ? Or maybe a young up and coming assistant from a 3-4 team GB maybe, at this point I have no faith from the fo making the right decision so really I don't know how this will happen. I mean look at the problems Chicago has with John Fox's 4-3 too predictable especially with Coyle not mixing it up to get the right matchups we were doomed to fail this year. Even when we had Madison, Surtain, Bowens and Zack we were at times predictable but then again wanny was running the show ugh the anguish can we not get one thing right .. sorry fellas that loss really made me feel terrible like there was no passion or fight to compete.

I always wondered why they tried to fix something that wasn't broken? And now?

I have to hold out hope that if there are any more showings like last Sunday Coyle will be fired. Looks like "simplifying" the defense didn't work at all

Why are you so surprised? They allowed a perfect game to Geno Smith, damn near perfect to Blake Bortles, Teddy Bridgwater and with the playoffs on the line two years a go at home made EJ Manual look like a qb. With a Joe Philbin lead team failure has no limits!

Two years ago with the playoffs on the line we were embarrassed by Thad Lewis on the road and then Geno Smith at home in consecutive games... Equally pathetic, but just a small correction.
I cannot ****ing believe that Philbin is still coaching this team.

According to Jeff this morning on the raido with Rose there was talk about simplyfying the defense even more because there still was mental breakdowns etc. if you can honestly believe that.

It was a good interview with Jeff as usual as he hit the nail on the head when he said there is a diffenece between conviction of a coaching staff and just being stubborn.

The Bengals ran a 4-3. Coyle was preferred it, so we adopted it.

Before Coyle: Top 5 rushing defense

With Coyle: What's a defense?
