Quote:Personally, I like the fact that Gus recently changed his tone to "now it's time to start winning".  I think he's changing his mentality.  I also like the fact that he diverted from the Henne 16-game plan this season.  He was dealt a very bad hand of cards due to the "win later philosophy" so I can live with that.   My biggest concern with this team is the halftime adjustments and being able to outsmart the opponents coaches on the fly.  I'm still on the 3-4 win season at best but I can't just yet issue Gus the blame.   He hasn't said the word "Resilient" once this week so that must mean we're getting better.  He was pulling that after our 20 point losses.  OH, did I mention Muschamp used the word "Resilient" to describe Driskel yesterday?

 

 

 

I'm not sure that the Steelers loss "looking closer" wasn't anything more than paint & mirrors, IMO. They played more bend/ don't break than ever on defense this past week and we're equally conservative on offense. It helped give the appearance of a game that was closer than the score might have looked. Del Rio's philosophy was good for creating this type of game. The Steelers held the ball for almost the entire 2nd half of the 4th Quarter when we needed a stop and couldn't get one. The Steelers would have scored again, had there been more time on the clock. 17-9 was closer to 24-9. But the final score looked good aesthetically, so Gus was happy.
