Problem is they don't see the games, because their heads are so far in the ground.....well you get the picture.
From a pure talent standpoint, there is/was not much difference between Tannehill and Harrington. Harrington got beat to sh!t behind the Lions awful line and by the time we got him he was shell shocked. Philbin is nowhere remotely close to as bad as you make him out to be. On some topics you are informative and interesting. When it comes to Philbin though you turn completely irrational.
Philbin is really that bad and people are coming around to the reality. It's not really even a "leadership" skills thing when Philbin really doesn't have anything in the way of skills to recommend him.
It is always the route Jaj, some routes THill can nail, others he just stinks at nailing. Wallace was open deep, THill flubbed it, as per usual
Joe Philbin has had questionable calls that should not be attributed to anyone but the head coach in both games. Today was a great example heading into halftime with 2 minutes left. He made the call to run out the clock instead of using any of his three timeouts. They had good enough field position to try and get into field goal range. He was just a big fat ***** about it.
Seriously, 2:21 left in the game and you've got all three timeouts. You're down 9-0. You run the football three straight times without taking any of your timeouts. Oh but then you got a 1st down with those runs? Well, I guess we gotta run three more times. I'm not even sure I have seen that with 2:21 left in an NFL game. It was a total wuss move from a terrible head coach.
I liked the call to run it in at halftime. ***** move but look at the QB. Can't trust him. It was the right call, IMO.
No excuse...no excuse whatsoever for looking like the biggest pu**y head coach in the league. Then he said after the game, "well we only had 40 yards of offense at that point." Just makes it worse...coward.
You're wildly oversimplifying my point, but when you show a strong, repeatedly track record of dramatically getting your asses kicked against what are frequently mediocre teams after a big win, you should be able to put a pretty fine point on things.
Shouldn't your leader be your 8th pick in the draft from 3 years ago?? I'm sick of the naive apologists in regards to Tannehill...watch a GD game and tell me you see a franchise QB.
If that's the case...pull him. But you don't go out like a completely whipped b**** like that. Pathetic.
Not sure if your serious... but Philbin is hugely responsible. He showed absolutely no confidence in his players with 3 mins and 3 timeouts left... He figured they were more likely to cost his team points than they were to do their job and score points. If your own coach expects you to fail... how do you find confidence in yourself? That's terrible leadership!! You don't think the players pick up on that? you don't think the players by nature wanted to try and score?
I'm not sure Philbin has the confidence in his quarterback not to put the team in a bad situation there. Imagine if the team gets risky and there's a pick, or a sack fumble, and then Buffalo scores again before the half. What is the mood then?
You don't pull him because he's struggling. You've invested 2 years into him. You will live and die with him. Pack it in and adjust at half time. Don't give him the chance to make it worse. It was the right move. Too many just love to blame coaching because they just don't want to admit Tannehill might not be be playing very good.
He did...saw it on twitter from the beat guys. Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP 43m Philbin on running out first half clock: we got ball at 15, only had 40 yards of offense at that point.
It was completely a statement about the quarterbacking. Do you think Joe Philbin would've endorsed a pack it in approach with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback?
So your saying they should have run the ball every single snap in the second half as well? The team can't change personnel at half time. They have to score the ball and you have to find confidence in them... two minute drill was as good a time as any. Defenses usually play a little softer defending 2 minute situations as well.
That's my point. We wouldn't have even been in that position with quality QB play. Tannehill is ****ing up. That's just the truth. Only 2 games, though.
A deep pick is nothing but a punt...better than quitting on your players...take a few mid-short shots and get out of bounds, a run here and there is OK, but move forward...don't just give it up. If you can't call/run a 2 minute offense when the PERFECT situation is there to do it...somebody needs to go.
So you don't take a chance because he sucks. But you also don't pull him? Makes no sense. Our coach is a coward. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk
That's not living and dying with him. That's folding up into a fetal position and hoping you don't get your teeth kicked in because you weren't prepared for the game. Tannehill wasn't throwing interceptions, that's not an excuse. Try to ****ing score, jesus.
You don't take a chance because he was struggling. When things go bad for Tannehill, they go really bad. Sack fumble for a touchdown bad. You go into half time and regroup. It doesn't look good but it's best for the team to be conservative when your offense is playing like complete ****.
Not pulling him when he's playing like horse **** for two straight weeks is living and dying with him. You don't risk going for a field goal with the way he was playing. You go into half time and adjust.
You're giving the coaching staff credit for something that is a given. Benching Tannehill would be a pretty Philbin move, though.
Not every drive is one just before the half, deep in your own territory, after your quarterback has played poorly.
And he was right to remove it and try to instill some confidence in the line to run the ball after Lazor emasculated them for a full half, and prevent a pick 6 at the end of the half or a strip sack. That was probably the best offensive coaching Phins had all game today.
