I was trying to buy into Philbin at some level but he has lost me.
1. Sweeping the Incognito golf club sexual assault under the rug, while then getting rid of Chad Johnson and Vontae Davis, shows a level of hypocrisy that is offensive.
2. The lack of leadership, or worse yet, wrong leadership, in the locker room is on him.
3. He is out of touch with the locker room.
4. I question his motivation skills. He allegedly has to read from cue cards to the team in the post game? That is freaking unbelievable. You don't have the passion and fire to charge up your team? Beyond that, how many times does the team fall flat on its face coming out of the locker room?
5. He is the opposite of Shula on the "take his'n and beat yours'n and take yours'n and beat his'n." He expects his players to adapt to his scheme entirely, without sufficient adaptation to what the players excel in or, conversely, aspects in which they struggle.
6. Everything is so predictable. As an example, Mike Wallace doesn't move around.
7. Is there a worst team in making adjustments coming out of the half?
8. He stubbrnness with certain personnel is ridiculous. Like good God, man, how many times do we need to see Daniel Thomas go wide parallel to the line of scrimmage. He can't solve problems this way. I mean, 3rd and 1? Can't solve it all year.
9. The team invariably collapses at the end of games. What percentage of pass plays in the final minutes lead to sacks? It's ridiculous.
10. Overall, how many teams do we need to see this team get drubbed by inferior opponents (getting killed at home to Tennessee last year, the loss to Buffalo at hime this year, the Tampa loss, etc). These things are NOT ACCEPTABLE.
