Actually, Pete and his staff are one of the most competent in the NFL as the long playoff history attests. We've had a trying year with injuries, young players developing and an offensive line that still is a work in progress, yet here we are, knocking loudly on the door for a big playoff push.
What is that attributed to? A versatile and experienced coaching staff that works well together and knows how to roll with the punches. Lesser staffs wouldn't have even guided this year's version of the Hawks to the playoffs.
I try and adopt your attitude about our staff between games. Here I am again, pre playoffs, ready to get on board. However, week after week, it's not just the players underperforming. This coaching staff is leaning backward, making mistakes, and it's becoming more and more obvious. I'm willing to forego any more skepticism until we're out or we've won it all. Then I want to hear you make the same cases or show us your drivers license, Mr Bevell.
Does making those insiniations of identity help your cause? Maybe you're just trying to be funny. I don't know.
And I don't know why you wouldn't get on board as we're about to embark on the playoffs. We are, after all, one of the most successful franchises in this decade.
I don't understand the outright defense of the staff, that's all. Yes, I was trying to be funny. I understand it's no knee-slapper. I have torte on board every week, yes. And after our first drive, almost weekly, I'm fuming again. 3 and out and then give up an easy TD, way too frequently. Bottom line, and deeply, seriously, truly... under-performance comes back to the coaching staff...even though its coach speak, Pete would say the same thing. Not everything is roses on our coaching staff.
The team has often been zero fun to watch, due to philosophy. People are not insane to look at the amount of talent we have on the team and expect more than what we are being given. Doe thi make us entitled? Maybe. Do we pay obscene amounts of money to see and support the product? No doubt. Why get upset about people questioning what's going on? And what do you see that makes you so sure THIS is all we need? I can honestly say, I don't get it. I don't see it.
