I am finding the whole discussion to be true. The missed catches, missed tackles, missed blocks were all the players' fault. The coaching decisions were the coach's fault.
But the one thing that continues to piss me off is the way the team reacts to a challenge. They seem way too nice and accepting of the sh*t the other teams are dishing out. After Haynesworth got the personal foul on a late hit to Schaub I would have made it a priority to clean Kerry Collins' clock the next time he stepped on the field. We weren't gonna win the game and a 15 yard penalty wasn't gonna do anything except give the Titans another first down.
If a pitcher in baseball doesn't protect his team's batters he doesn't get the respect of his teammates. If another team is gonna cheapshot your QB you gotta retaliate. It may not make any difference in the game you are playing but it sends a message for the future.
Just my two cents.
