Sutton wasn't any better. Always trying to fit square pegs in round holes, leaving talent on the shelf because of the above, predictable unimaginative play-calling of a 12-year-old . . .

Spags turned the defense into a resilient, aggressive, unpredictable, situationally proficient unit, even with wholesale turnover twice in just 4 years.

The man deserves more credit than what he gets from Chief Fan.

Sit back you're in danger.

You don't have to zero blitz.

You can send an extra guy. It's totally fine.

Also not for nothing, but is nobody concerned that Steve Spagnuolo could not answer a question about Palmers TD to take the lead because he couldn't remember it?

Like, what?

I have no involvement with this game other than the 3 hours as a fan watching live, and I knew immediately what play the reporter was asking about.

Also, it's Tuesday at the time of this presser, which means he should have already reviewed film to make corrections, and after living the game in real time, and again reviewing the film, he STILL doesn't remember the play that gave up the lead with 1:46 remaining?

It really explains a lot. I'm expecting these coaches to call plays and gameplan drawing from their vast experiences over the years.

But if this dude can't remember the ****ing play that surrendered the lead 2 days removed from the game, AFTER watching the film, then he's drawing from 2 things. Jack, and shit.

I just can't believe the guy can't remember the play.

1. It takes a whole half for Steve and his crew to figure shit out. That's why there's no adjustments until half. IMO, I'd lik to see that figured out much sooner, but that looks like that's not going to be the case. They play much better after half adjustments, so we just have to hope that the games don't get away from us in the first half, and we have a chance.

If you're good with a dude having no memory of the biggest play of the game for his unit, and can't answer any questions about it, continue living your quite blissful ignorance.

2. Put the lousy no pressure 3rd n 18 on his players. Thought the d line would get more pressure than it did (at least that's what I got out of it) and Josh shoukd have located the ball. Even though he knew there's a rocket arm back there that can make any throw.

Football is all about situations. You've harassed the guy with pressure all night. Bring pressure again, and the receivers likely don't have time to get 18 yards downfield. Instead, you choose to give him all day to make a throw, which leads your unit to giving up what is a back breaking score on 31 other nfl teams.

It was good to see the O pull it out, but we'd been in similar spots before this year where the back breaking score beat us because they intercepted the ball on our final series against Indy, and Buffalo.

So Patrick can't always pull your ass out of the fire. We have a coin flip o line. They might do their job, or Patrick could be under fire all day.

These are young guys, it's his job to help them out, and I'm sorry but no pressure on 3rd n 18 with an arm like Herbert has, you're just asking for him to smoke you. You'll never convince me that only rushing 4 was the right call there.

Pass the buck or whatever, I guess Jones should have taken up 3 guys instead of just the 2 all night right?

Man watching a team like Dallas with 4 good edge rushers is suffocating. Vikings were 1/11 on 3rd down and a big part of that was the fear of God from their pass rushers.

Hope Veach can get us a pass rush like that next year.

Lol, here we go. Again.

Here's how the LAC drives went in the second half:

PUNT - 9yds
PUNT - 9yds
FUMBLE - 43yds
TD - 63yds
INT - (-5yds)

Wallcrawler: "iT's NoT gOoD eNoUGh!!!!"

Okay. Your right. Spags sux. Can't make adjustments. Can't stop anyone. We're ****ed.:LOL:

Happy Thanksgiving, WC!:thumb:
