Fire Capers

[wist43]

Have quite the hangover this am, lol... mostly just venting frustration.

That said, there's no excuse for that nonsense we saw yesterday... 51 pts???

What's equally amazing, is you guys seem to think they played well, and Capers did a great job... wow.

You guys did happen to notice - 51pts!!!!!

Are you even reading the responses you are getting?

Actually, not reading much... last night I was wasted (so my apologies for being overly contentious), and this am I'm hungover

I don't drink much, so my head is hurting quite a bit this am

Seemed a bit out of character in your writing style!! Wist + emotion = scary.

Still (not sure if it was the booze perspective (nothing against having one btw!!!), but) it seems you derive more satisfaction in seeing capers fail than you would have in seeing the packers win.

I read your posts a lot more objectively than I did at JSO, because I think you understand the game. I'm just not sure you how to appreciate and enjoy the triumphs. (adding a question mark to invite a response): ?

Was angry... wouldn't have vented like that if I didn't think they had a chance. To me, there's no excuse for what we saw on Sunday... and now, sober as a judge , I still put the loss squarely on Capers.

Truthfully, I don't mind losing... what I mind is going down in such an embarrassing fashion based mainly one mans utter refusal to accept his initial game plan wasn't working, and then making adjustments accordingly. Capers has been getting ripped apart on the talk shows, and rightfully so...

As I said last Friday, we'd know pretty quickly what we were going to get on D, b/c if Capers came out with an unaggressive game plan, that would be it... he wouldn't adjust, Warner would get in a rhythm, and the game would become a track meet. Capers simply does not make adjustments... he may tweak things a bit, but only within the initial game plan itself... in this case, the game plan was a disaster, it was obvious from the very start, and needed to be abandoned; but, that is not Capers MO... he'll sit up there in the booth, scratch his head, and keep making the same calls.

51 pts, 500 yds, 29-33 passing, 5 TD's later... the Packers are relaxing at home.

I wonder if Dom is trying to explain to M3 and TT, "it should have worked, I don't know what went wrong, it looked good on paper"

Capers got dealt a bad hand in the secondary.

Bush is worse than Will Blackmon & Patrick Lee. And losing Harris obviously hurt depth, even though Travon William played pretty well.

At safety, fans were happy to see Rouse get the axe, but he is a lot better than Giordino. Rouse played well as a starter for the Giants this year, and the other guy that Thompson cut, Anthony Smith, ended up starting for Jacksonville.

I say blame God for the injuries and, as always, FIRE TED THOMPSON!

I knew if I returned you'd come back! But I digress...

Agree about Rouse. If TT didn't like the way he was playing early, they should have benched him. Releasing him left the team very weak at Safety behind the starters, and it came back ti bite them against the Cardinals.

Warner was in rhythm from the first pass. Didn't matter how aggressive Caper's scheme was.

All for the aggressive approach, and hate the passive gameplans, but I don't believe that blitzing Warner would have changed anything. The ball is gone before anyone can get there and that's just one less person in coverage. There certainly needed to be someone protecting the short-middle of the field.

Because Rouse would've been the difference against the Cardinals...

Rouse would have better than Giordano once Bigby was hurt . Not saying it would necessarily have changed the outcome.

Then how would Rouse have been better if it didn't change the outcome?

Thanks for the shout out, but I'm just here doing a little slumming. I've got all sorts of new friends - pretty people, brilliant people, shakers and movers.

You might be right that a better backup safety wouldn't have made a difference. BTW, I saw an article that praised Smith contribution at Jacksonville, he moved up to starter.

You never know, I bet Blackwell or Lee would have been better than Bushy. Rouse and Smith were certainly better than Gardenia (I know that's not his real name, dummy) and either would have been better in coverage than Bigby. I think overall the weak depth at secondary was a big problem.

Well, when you're sitting there
In your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folk that you know
Well, I hope you won't see me
In my ragged company
You know I could never be alone
