^yes, don't play with passion enough and start games flat. It's like they took on Philbins personality in a way which may work for coaching to a certain extent but players need to show some fire.
Love the overreactions after one game.
One week: "omgz! best coach evar!"
Next week: "Omg...fire him. He's not a leader of men!"
anyone who chooses Philbin doesn't want to win. Look at what rex did w/ the talent last year and what he has done w/ the talent this year. The 2 aren't close, Rex is a top 10 coach in this league.
Let's re-start this debate this week.
Rex's team was impressive yesterday in that they played hard for him as they think he is getting the ax. Why can't Joe Philbin ever get that "bounce" out of the team? Joe has done a nice job keeping the team together, but his team is so flat in big spots too many times.
So no actual examples then of what you're claiming is happening?
In yet one team has something to play for coming up and the other doesn't. One team is finding themselves starting from the top down and the other is canning said HC after Sunday. Rex has had enough time in NY. He had his moments but still is a career coordinator, and a damn good one at that.
Maybe that's what Philbin will be too but to give up now is just plain ignorant
