I hope its the good kind of mad and not the Dennis Green kind.

Re: One of the few positives I took out of this debacle

Not to kill this thread but I was a little disappointed in Gailey. He looked like a guy that was in over his head.

It's one pre-season game so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt but his players looked tired and maybe that's why most teams don't have guys running around in pads every practice.

Agreed, hurricane, we were tired. We also had our depth guys in for a long time. But you cant get in shape and not be tired.

Re: One of the few positives I took out of this debacle

I lost all respect for Gailey in the second quarter when he failed to go for it on 4th and inches, trying instead to draw the Skins offside. Gutless and nutless, just like Jauron. Plus, stupid penalties killed us, special teams were abysmal, and our execution was crap.

What happened to the tough, disciplined camp he was supposed to be running?

All respect? Really? This was the first game experience this team has had.

If those things continue to happen well into the regular season, then I'll lose respect for him. Right now, not as much.

Ya that was weak. What was there to gain from that exercise? Absolutely nothing. Very Jauronesque.

He could have set the right tone immediately, shown some confidence in our O-line/running game, and kept the first unit offense on the field for some much needed additional plays. But he took the pussy way out.

I've listened to the guy talk, and I believed he was a tough, straight talking football guy. Now he seems like a phony.

You watch his press conference and you can tell he either just got done yelling or he was just about to yell. That guy was trying to hold back. Even his, "Well I sure wouldn't want to live with this for ten days." remark was said without any humor.

why should he look any different then when he was on the sidelines for GT... or the Cowboys.

not sure why people bought all the spin... but i made myself clear when he was hired that "I know i'm not ready to coach in the NFL, yet i'm not sure i couldn't do a better job then Chan gailey. I can't even say he's an upgrade over Fewell"

I hope your wrong.

Because if we have sub-par talent, on a team with a sub-par HC, and a FO that is sub-par, we are in trouble for many years to come.

Re: One of the few positives I took out of this debacle

I'm not throwing Chan undewr any busses this early... The 4th down crap was lame, but it is also what you would do if it were a real game....

none the less we look like a team who has a new coach, a new system , and a new players...

Re: One of the few positives I took out of this debacle

My main positive is that I didn't poke a screw driver through my ear while I was watching this mess.

Re: One of the few positives I took out of this debacle

this team will never get better until a coach demands to open up the warchest, and we put a better than serviceable Oline in front of a QB who isn't fragile. we need to take full advantage of Free Agency, and have the best drafts possible - unfortunately, we can't quite call out this draft yet, won't be able to either for another 2 years...

Re: One of the few positives I took out of this debacle

That 4th down was NOT a situation that I would went for it in during a regular season game, so why should preseason be different?

If you go for it and it work you give your team a minor confidence boost.

If you go for it and it doesn't work you suck the wind out and get steam rolled as you let the game get out of reach right before the half.

You punt in that circumstance.
