I don't mean to pour cold water on Doug here as I'm rooting for the team to get back on track and not for anyone to get fired, but he said essentially the opposite in his post game interview against the Bills.  I think there is often an unfair attempt by some or even many to label a coach as having "lost the locker room" during a losing streak.  There's a need to find that singular focus for the why when it's almost always not that simple.  I get frustrations are high and maybe a coach says things he shouldn't or doesn't really mean at times.  God knows he's been visibly frustrated with the media immediately after these losses, but he made the comment after the Bills game that bad teams are leaderless, mediocre teams are coach led and good teams are player led in an apparent attempt to call out the player leadership on the team.  Today he says "we have a good group" and "the right leaders are in there".  Is he lying now or was he saying what he said after the Bills loss in frustration at how badly they lost?  I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume it's the latter for now.  This is a big game for us and for him this weekend.
