Quote:But here's the question... What makes you think Bradley is like those guys? Just based off of a gut feeling? Because it certainly can not be the play on the field.

 

I do think a coach like Belicheck or Harbaugh would have this team at 4-6. Bengals, Titans and Steelers were all very winnable games and the difference in close games is coaching.


 

Look at the Lions. For years they would blow close games because Schwartz was an indiot. Now you bring in Caldwell and they are 7-3. Obviously they have a ton of talent but they always had talent to be "close" but they needed a better coach to get over that hump.

not always...a pick 6 and a couple of interceptions deep in your own territory, oh and dropped punts inside your 10 yard line are not really attributed coaching...I have already said there were 2 or 3 games that we gave away and should have won, but those pesky rookie mistakes that no one wants to count for anything came creeping in and we didn't win...Like it or not...the rookie factor is the biggest reason we are where we are right now...I do scratch my head at some of the OC play calls sometimes and wonder what he's thinking, but in the end it all comes back to ya gotta do the best ya can with what ya got and what we got is a team full of first and second year players, undrafted agents and late round picks being the majority of the team or a good part of it...That's where the trouble is
