When Brown fumbled that football twice, you immediately thought "Tomlin sucks..........."...When Ben threw both those INTs, you immediately conjured up images of Tomlin being inefficient....... You immediately absolved the players of any guilt in this loss even though pundits around the league stated those two individuals played the biggest role in the loss and the players themselves took responsibility.
Let me ask you something...assuming youve played the game of football....If a coach makes you part of the team, coaches you up, goes over drills/technique repeatedly, execution of plays during practice for weeks, makes you a starter because youve outperformed your peers and through the coarse of a few games you prove youre capable, if for the next game you go out and make a bonehead mistake like drop a pass (the only pass youve dropped) or run an incorrect route and it lands in the hands of the safety for a pick six which ultimately costs the team the game, are YOU personally gonna take responsibility or are you gonna suggest that YOUR COACH failed you and didnt prepare you to play that day ?
Preparation is done during camp, in practice in between games and pre-game meetings (mental aspect aka gettin hyped)....theres walk-throughs conducted the day before the games with most teams. As a player on that team, can you assess whether you or your mates are ill-prepared to play that game that day ? Can you tell if the coaches have ill-prepared you prior to kickoff ? At what point would YOU realize you werent ready to play ? Is it after youve gotten your *** whipped up and down the field for the first 4 series ?
Listen, its my opinion these guys get coached up in practice, .....plays are ran repeatedly, film reviewed, gameplans are set...these are professional athletes..the best in the game. What we seen on Sunday was professional athletes have lapses in judgement or make huge mistakes. Things done out of their character. Brown NEVER muffs punts...he never fumbles. Ben ....well that was just a bullshit throw even high schoolers know better than to attempt, but in most cases hes smarter than that. Bobbled snaps---trying to read too fast before doin whats most important and collecting the ****** ball from center.... Coaching isnt and wasnt to blame because had those four turnovers never occured, we win this game goin away and no one is talkin about Tomlin or coaching........well, correction, this group loves to hammer this topic ad nauseum so there still wouldve been grumblin and pissin regardless.
Folk love to blame coaches for everything......EVERYTHING.....cause you CANT fire your superstars, so coaching is the scapegoat.....when **** goes wrong on the field, blame the coach. No one on this team is blaming coaching..........seems the offenders took responsibility and owned it. But the group resorts to its favorite past time---HAMMER ON COACH T !!!! As if he dialed up these mistakes or coached em up improperly or suggested they ease up because its THE ****** JETS !!! We have a HOF QB puttin up a **** of a game at this stage of his career ? HE needs to be hammered more than any coach.....wouldnt you agree ?
