The biggest problem with this team is...

Who/what is most to blame for our current situation?

All of the above. Also a lack of general intelligence and, as Namor said, no mental toughness.
 
This team is void of leadership and the have no identity period.

Philbin doesn't want leaders. Anyone who had a voice on this team last year is gone. That's the mark of a control freak and will be what get's him fired as a failed coach.
 
Leadership. This team has no winning expectation. There is nobody in the locker room that will NOT except losing.
 
While it's tempting to just vote for the catch-all instead after some thought because compared to some other recent polls this one is insightful and not agenda-driven, I voted for "coaching." Of course hindsight is 20/20 but in general our staff neither seems to be using their players to exploit their strengths/minimize their weaknesses nor coach some of the various units up to play at NFL levels. Specifically it seems we have unproven QB and OL coaches and it shows. It's not a coincidence IMO that the most seasoned NFL coaches, Coyle and Rizzo generally have their squads performing best. As far as the QB kid coaching our QB kid, when it comes to playing at the highest level, it looks like "the blind leading the blind." And then there's the playcalling that's morphing into Henning anachronism. The lack of heart is more on the coaching too I believe.
 
Lack of heart. It seems something goes wrong, big play, bad call, etc., the team just falls apart.
this. They have a complete lack if heart. This leads to all of the above

Lack of dirt.

No kidding! That infield at sunlife really screws us at away games. :-)
 
everything, even defense when they need to stop the other team, they can't
 
It's coaching. As bad as Turnoverhill has been Sherman has been worse. The refusal to run the ball has been incomprehensible.

It's been 5 years or something and Ireland still hasn't figured out how to pack that **** up and bring it on the road. :bobdole:
 
Looks like most of us here feel that the coaching is the problem. When you lose close games (as most of our losses have been), that's typically going to be the root of the problem.
