Philbin needs to grow a pair...

This is a problem I have with the play calling as a whole. You need 8 yards so you throw it 5 and expect the guy to get 3 more. Well you don't hit him in motion, we've got one dude who breaks any tackles, it's a bad call. Are you really telling me the WCO doesn't have a play that completes past 10 yards?

Exactly, no one outside of Clay has shown any ability to break tackles, yet they consistently design plays that get the ball to the receiver short of 1st down? Awful play calling
 
Obviously there was more talent pre-injury, but this team is building leads on the likes of Carolina and NE, if not for talent, how is this possible? Exceptional coaching? That is obviously not the case, so the only explanation is that there is talent on this team to compete with upper echelon teams.
They were well prepared when they came out against the Pats and Panthers but the lack of second half adjustments killed them. The coaching has been erratic but the talent is in pockets and not spread out across the team.

Regardless, I don't like starting over and should they, they are in much better shape than in 2008 when the Trifecta arrived. Bringing in a quality GM, strong coaching staff and a few roster additions and this team could be very very good.
 
More talent? Are you looking at the pre season roster or today's roster? Not excusing the bad coaching at all but lets not act like this team is swimming in talent right now.

There is plenty of talent here, it's just not being used properly.
