Im guilty as are others for making emotional week to week judgements on this team, as the NFL is great because of it cause its a week to week emotional roller coaster. But what we cant forget given that we knew at the start of the season that the roster on this team is around the bottom 5-7 in terms of pure talent and depth and this IS A REBUILDING TEAM. Because we have a championship caliber qb in my mind who's better than Roethlisger and Eli Manning and a notch below Rodgers and Brees., he's able to overcome the shortcomings of this team mainly the lack of a running game that you can hang your hat on and the liability which is the defense. You cannot be a consistent winner and a playoff team without a legit defense. This defense has no pass rush, the absolute worst secondary in the game and no one who can lay the wood in the middle of the field. I really dont know how much blame Pagano deserves for this crap on display vs the lack of talent on the defense side of the ball, but we all need to lower our expectations of this team instead of calling for the head of Mccoy who clearly is going to make mistakes given he has no prior headcoaching experience. Dont get me wrong, this loss falls on the feet of Mccoy. Even if all those playcalls were from Wisenhunt, Mccoy shouldve intervened and called either three straight power runs with Matthews or playaction with Matthews on first down and 3 straight runs, I even wouldve gone for it on 4th down cause we know we cant trust this crap of a defense.
But Telesco unfortunately to date has missed with his acquisition of Cox and moving up to get Teo. Now Teo needs more time but I dont see a difference maker in this league with his play, he seems to not have the strength or speed to make an impact at this time and even if he has to make up for his deficiencies with his smarts and anticipation he lacks those at this stage of his career at the NFL level. But we need to give Mccoy 3 years before we can make judgement given the crap roster AJ left in place that theyve had to overhaul. But I said before this season, for this team to be a wild card contender they have to develop Matthews into that workhorse RB on offense and get something out of the D. You need a power running game especially down near the redzone, what boggles the mind is why even keep Matthews on the roster if you have no faith him? Either work on developing him or get rid of him but what theyre doing with him is wrecking his confidence and growth as a football player.
