If you read the OP the title of this thread is misleading. I stated at the begining that the coaching wasn't good, but that ultimately the Players lost this game. We left 21 points on the board as well as played undiciplined on defense.
But tell me if you agree with this....
Whatever was working we strayed away from in the first half, i.e. used D. Walker in most of the first half. then never in the second. That was the coaches
And above all, just curious, do you agree or not, that if your put in the correct position for success, and then u fail, is one thing. But if your not even put in the right position, and say make best with whatever we can do, is that the players fault?
We were down 2 scores with an entire half to play yet Raye called plays as if there was only 7 minutes left in the game. All we needed to do was stick to the original game plan, score in the 3rd and put the pressure back on Seattle.
What do you guys think is more important:
Pre-Game Plan ala Raye
or
In-Game Adjustments ala Seattle's OC?
I'm thinking it depends on who you play. If you play us, just wing it until after the 1st quarter and begin making adjustments.
If you play the Colts, you better come in with something strong or be ready to be down by 21 after the 1st.
