Maybe some think that. But some of the stuff he is being questioned about as "not being ready" are real reaches.

Such as?

Not going for 2 points after a TD and electing to try fgs instead of going for it on 4th down even though the game was still close in the first half to name a couple.

Faking a punt but kicking FGs on 4th and 1.

What game is he coaching. Take a big risk because you know in a game against the Broncos you have to take those risks but then fold up when you have the highest percentage risk?

I was hoping Becton would earn PT. Guess it's not happening.

Also mystifying to me given Becton's steady improvement earlier this year. Geathers had best work on his footwork and pass blocking this week...

And yet, even playing a team with far more talent and players dropping like flies, we still had a chance to tie the game late. So whatever game he is coaching isn't all that bad.

Really? They had a chance to tie it?

At which point did you thing the Bolts would tie the game?

McCoy said the team has neither concluded or ruled out a concussion for Dunlap.

Seriously?

Why would anyone associated with the NFL say 'concussion' before they have to? In this hyper-charged environment? Liar!

[ArtistFormerlyKnownAsBKR]

I get that, it's just that he seems more under scrutiny for some reason.

Because Acee needs to seem like he has an "opinion" and the agenda guys on this website are obsessed.

[ArtistFormerlyKnownAsBKR]

Maybe he's making more mistakes more often than most coaches.

Any sort of analysis to back that up or just gut feel?

McCoy "blew" the game against Washington with "his" playcalls at the end of regulation. It wasn't the way the undermanned D was manhandled the entire second half. It wasn't the completely unfettered drive for a TD in OT that failed to even limit the Skins to a FG so that we could get a shot on offense. We should overlook a strong comeback to rally from 10 down at 7:00.

It was this that really made the "in over his heads" come out of the woodwork. Of course they ignore the ability to revitalize Rivers, make lemonade with the o-line and on a weekly basis make this club look more prepared, more amped and more competitive than we got in most Norv-coached games. Might sell papers. Or make you look good to national media outlets. Just not rooted in reality.

Wow! 1 article from "sour grapes" Acee and people want to tear down the coach who has exceeded all expectations and has this team over achieving. Has he been perfect? No. But the team has bought in fully and is competing in every game. Just imagine what NOrv would have done with this squad. Is that what people want to go back to? He's a rookie HC. As far as I know he never even was a college HC. Considering the results so far he gets a little lee-way from the arm-chair HC's and Monday morning QB's that benefit from hindsight. Fuck Acee!

Dunlap and Hardwick not practicing today
