After all, this is an offense with a lot of very good receivers, some vets, and a QB who can be very accurate, as well as mobile. In fact, he's been the running game at times. Last week was the first time the running game really got anything going consistently. Time to use those full backs and I like the idea of Green and Grant in the backfield. This can be a dynamic offense as evident in the pre-season. It's been a perfect storm of errors and penalties and sacks (things the coaches should have brought more urgency to in fixing), a young line that can't get settled due to rotations and injuries and a young qb on a learning curve. The rhythem of the offense is off as everything is interrelated. The D. is in a transition. I would have hoped Capers would have blended more of the 4-3/3-4 to ease the move, but they're doing OK, except for getting consistent pressure on the qb which they will need this week against a strong line. Injuries have messed with this as well. Murphy stated in the JS article that the necessary structure (coaching) is in place. The coaches insist they practice fundamentals, but it gets lost in game time against real opponents. Is that talent, or pressure? Maybe they need more rah-rah motivation. But the players are professionals and have some responsibility in this as well. They'll be up against it this week, can only hope the committment carries over for the whole 60 minutes.

That just doesn't sound like DD to me. So you’re saying that DD should just quit at the high point if his career (not every receiver sets his franchise’s record) just because of management problems?

Then he wouldn't have a job. Other than that, you know he's a lock. He's playing well which is more than can be said for most others.

I am surprised he is so worried about his job. I don't think Driver is going anywhere just based on the fact he isn't a free agent next year and next year could be uncapped. Certain players are (in my opinion) 100 percent safe no matter who the GM/HC are next year. For example, the Packers aren't going to want to look for a new QB in an uncapped year. I certainly don't think Rodgers should be replaced, but for those that do. They aren't going to try to find a replacement QB in an uncapped year. Interesting quote by Driver in that article.

He's just not a good head coach. It's that simple. We will never win anything with him. Everytime I come one here, there's something new about him, and it's always true. The list of his mistake goes on an on. Wait until the end of the season, and get rid of him. Besides coaching quarterbacks, can anyone name something McCarthy’s good at?

Since MM's main concern after the loss to Tampa was practice, I believe Murphy should have flown in Allen Iverson for this meeting as a motivational speaker on"PRACTICE". Where was MM? Was he breaking down tape and cleaning things up? This team is screaming for a leader, just plain and simple.

Sure individual performances haven't been the greatest, but we don't have the personnel infrastructure to win like that. We're a fundamentally unsound football that consistently beats itself.

Ok, that is something. The real questions are: _____ 1. Are the players talented enough to play at a higher level than they are now? _____ 2.

I, too, am not sure it is enough to help, but at least they are upset with how things are going enough to admit blame and attempt to fix it.

The *only* way anything will change is if everyone (and I mean everyone) admits something is wrong -- which up to now no one has seemed willing to do. We'll fix it, check the tape, blah, blah, bullshit. No. There are problems. Let's first admit them, then address them, then try to fix them. After this, a loss to the Cowboys would still kill, but it'd be a whole lot more palatable. At least I know they care enough to get angry. Who knows if it will change anything.
