You just want to cut and fire everyone don't you?

Vinny, Blache and Betts, that's all.

Did you see how many times this season we fail to stop 3rd down conversions? Way too many times, where's the pressure?

Who do we have that is a top pass rusher? No one. Blitzing wasn't the way to go cause our corners were having trouble anyway. Coaching on the defense wasn't the problem today. It was the players. And even though the defense struggled today they kept us in the game the 2nd half. It's the offense where I place the blame. Scoring 9 and 14 points against two of the worst teams in the NFL is unacceptable.

The offense has not been good the last two games, especially in the red zone. But it was the thinner of the two units to begin with, and it's the one that took the first major injury.

And the offense did have trouble moving the football today. Campbell did not play very well. There was no rhythm to his work. Portis was a non factor in this one.

No matter who is coaching the offense, it will have it's moments when Campbell plays well and it's going to struggle mightily when he doesn't. You just can't excuse a poorly coached defense as not having the players. You might be right, but since Blache has been our DL coach and later our coordinator, we're 0-4 against rookie QBs. How can we defend that?

You can say Campbell didn't play well but he didn't play bad. HE didn't lose the game for us. Our O-line is garbage and our D is horrible. Blache sucks plain and simple.

Josh Freeman isn't starting next week is he?

The offense hasn't been good since the 2nd half of last year and this whole year. It's about scoring points not yardage. We can't score points. Scoring 9 and 14 points is simply inexcusable and unacceptable against Det. and STL.

If you watched the game today closely, which I assume you did you would've saw guys LOSING their one on one battles on defense. And you would've saw some missed tackles. I'm not sure how you blame that on coaching.

Let's see, Andre Carter, Orakpo, Jarmon, Haynesworth, Griffin, landry, Hall, Fletcher, McIntosh, all highly paid players except Jarmon. I would expect that our DC would figure out a way to use all this talent. Another DC would figure out a way to get pressure, I thought that's what everyone said it would happen after signing AH?

Sorry the guys you mentioned lost a lot of their one on one battles today. And that's what a lot of this comes down to. One on one battles and our guys simply got beat. You can blame the coaches all you want but they can only do so much.

When you have a pass rush(blitz or not) it HELPS the corners(DB's). Our schemes for rushing the QB is so basic, it isnt fooling anyone. Blache is still stuck in the 80's, the game has passed him. Coaching is the problem, the DB's are still playing 10 yards off the WR's. And I see the offensive problems as 2 parts....1)our O-line is bad, Heyer shouldnt be a starter in this league, and 2)Zorns pathetic playcalling.

We need to blow this up, bring in Holmgren(or one of the others) give him TOTAL control of the team. Fire Zorn(or demote to QB coach), fire Cerrato...this needed to happen a long time ago. Snyder needs to pay the bills and keep his nose out of the rest. Fire Blache, and promote Jerry Gray. If his schemes arent any better, start looking for a young defensive coordinator at the end of the season.
