you dont come in and field the worst defense ever and get a pass, at least in my book.


The first half of the season he was missing a Lb coach, two veteran team leaders at vital positions, a HC, the offense was deplorable, and he had just started a totally new defensive scheme. They did improve. God damn give the dude a little slack.

Breesus, I'm not going to argue that we should get rid of Spags, but I seriously don't think we improved. The only time our defense played well was against really crappy teams like Tampa and Oakland. NYG, Cowboys and Carolina ran up the score on us more than is acceptable. Yesterday's performance was a regression. Especially since we've played them once before this season.

That's a fair point, but you crazy if you think it is unreasonable to consider replacing Spagnuolo. It is absolutely reasonable, and it is not a no-brainer decision to keep him.

It's hard to give slack and say things are improving when Deangelo Williams just ran for 210 yrds. The run Defense is putrid. We give up to many big plays in the passing game. The pass rush is almost non existent. We keep saying things are getting better, but how could they not after the first 8 game. Could it have really gotten worse?

We finished 31st in points and 32nd in yards (worst in history). Significantly worse than last yr with the same shitty talent.

That being said, I don't believe he should get fired. He surely don't deserve any slack though.

Save any excuse of:
New Scheme
Bounty Gate
Offense wasn't as good.

Even when you factor in all circumstances it should have never been this bad.
