So, we finally get to see what 126 actually looks like!!.
In all seriousness, this clown knows nothing more than anyone else. He's using nothing but hindsight to come up with his evaluations IMO....
That's the way the season went, nothing more. Sure, there were some bad calls made at times, but what HC doesn't make a questionable call every now and then???...Can you say Martz??
He had this Phinz team in position to win every game in 2003, {with the exception of the Titans game}...
Dave could have gone out there against the Pats, and tried to kick the ball off of the dirt, but that's not what his job is. It's K O. Mare's job. Mare choked....2x's!!!
He could have gone out there and played LT on the final drive against the Colts, but W. Smith was the starter, and he had to let him finish. It proved to be a painful learning experience. With JF out, and BG completely immobile, the fumble ended it. Who's fault???....Don't know for sure. The OL played like doo doo....
The loss to the Eagles was expected, but the way it went down, the Phinz had every chance to win that game. The defense took a dump that night allowing the Eagles to march at will. Poor tackling, poor coverage{opening play}, and McNabb was pretty much having his way....
These poor opinions of Dave are somewhat deserved, but not entirely. The players have to do their jobs as well. It's like this....
Last season, heading into Minnesota, Dave hung a big lobster trap inside the lockeroom. He used it as a "trap" warning. He told the players to be very careful about this game, and treat it as if it were a playoff game. Needless to say, the team came out very flat, and lost....
As a result, everyone in Phinland was saying how dumb Dave was for hanging that trap in the lockeroom.
Why??...Because we lost. If we had won, and then winning the AFC East as a result, the Phinz fans would have gone out and crowned Wanny "KING DAVE".
Dave is doing his best. Give him a break people....
Just remember, we had the almighty coaching genius Jimmy Johnson here for four years, and he couldn't get them over the hump either....
That leads you to wonder. Is it really the coaching afterall???....
PHINZ RULE!!!!
