Well that's because of Mayhew and the coaching staff. This is why I don't approve of the staff as a whole because they fail at stuff that doesn't require any football skill or talent whatsoever. They are missing on the mental aspects of the management of the game and the strategic critical thinking is our weakest department as a franchise. Everything I ever complain about ultimately stems from this cog that never gets dealt with and attended to properly. We can't possibly dominate without turning that department into a strength, and doing so would conveniently make it really easy to dominate. But we have to want that and understand that and then exercise our will to do something about that if you want to dominate. That was an easy question, what else do you have?
This was ay abysmal game and we are very lucky to come away with a win. The problem we have is the same problem that has always plauged us, and that's coaching and management. We stunk it up in so many inexcusable ways on the field and made countless off the field mistakes again. Shooting ourselves in the foot is an understatement. We have been walking around in voluntary shackles that we can choose to remove any time that we simply want to use our heads to unlock the dead weight.
Drayton Florence cost us a pick early in the game by being too old and useless out there. He is probably at the worst point of his entire career, and he wasn't a special player to begin with. There is not a team in the NFL that should have a guy like this on their roster, it just doesn't make any sense. Stefan Logan turned a few positive yards off some good skill, but he is such a weapon that is poorly coached and our ST units on so many issues are just frustrating to watch. Clock issues and other general strategy was just awful all day long. KVB really needs to turn the focus on and get his head into the game because he is supposed to be a veteran leader and keeping older expensive guys around is not a good idea unless they are going to provide exemplary play and he didn't do his job today. I felt like it was fair to call out KVB and Drayton today to balance out the confusing praise that the commentators were giving them.
It's nice to see we did pretty good on avoiding penalties and staying healthy; really strong positives to build off of!
