OFFICIAL "Fire Spray Paint Hare!" Thread

[George Cumby]

I've kept the faith for 2.5 years since the SB and the problems persist despite assurances that they'll be fixed. Blown coverages, poor tackling, predictable scheme, lack of heart. It never seems to improve.

If the players aren't doing their jobs right, the position coaches aren't getting it done, if the position coaches aren't getting it done, the DC isn't getting it done.

For that matter, I am done:

Fire Capers!!!!

[Bossman641]

I knew he painted on his hair. I didn't know he was testing it on hares. Fuck him

[King Friday]

At this point, McCarthy is going to be pressed to make a lot of changes this offseason. Too much talent on the roster for this team to be mediocre in so many areas, and defense is a prime target.

[Joemailman]

This is 3 years in a row the defense isn't really very good. MM has fired his defensive coaching staff before. He will again if things don't turn around.

[red]

this is the typical job trajectory for dom capers

every place he has gone, he starts out very strong for 2 or 3 years and then after that his defenses get a little worse every year

its like 5, 6 or 7 places in a row where this "falling off the cliff" thing has happened with his defenses

he needs to go, it will only get worse, he has never rebounded while at the same team

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Fire his ass...

[pittstang5]

After this game, I think Capers is gone at the end of the season, regardless how they finish. Question: Say MM fires Capers tomorrow, he won't, but what if...who takes over?

Whitt, Moss, Trgovac?

[Upnorth]

How about we promote Slocum? He has been with the team for years, when players get injured (which they will) and get promoted to starter he will be familiar with them , and finally we will have more ammunition for the official Wednesday fire Slocum thread that seems to have lost steam. (tounge firmly in cheek)

[channtheman]

Capers has definitely overstayed his welcome in GB. Whether it's the players out of position or his scheme, ultimately it falls on him. And if MM won't let him go, than MM needs to be let go.

Defense only gave up 20 points today.

But... AHHHHH goddammit, I can't do it. It could have been a lot more. They were obviously terrible.

I sat by a Giants fan at the bar who was told me that this is the first game that Eli's looked comfortable at all. He said their line, backs, TEs, everything, has been terrible and Eli's been getting killed most of the year.

no, no and no

because those 3 guys should be fired too

[Noodle]

Damn Red, you go a little Robespierre in you.

So who survives your terror, Greene?

I'd keep Greene. Burnett running into Williams plus the 12 men in the huddle on the first 3rd and 1 epitomized how disorganized this defense is. Flat out joke.

The FOX team sugarcoated the D's performance initially, but fat old Tony set it straight. "No pressure, not getting off their blocks". We make the 2013 interception machine Eli Manning look great. Yes, TWill got that pick, thanks to the Giants' wide receiver going Jeremy Ross-like and stopping his route.

i like greene. i've watched him in practice and he brings a fire that no other coach on this team has

i don't think he's ready to be a d-coord though

and lb's seem to be the only position where "next guy up" actually has worked

[pbmax]

Greene is Singletary for all we know right now. Lot of passion, former great player and no track record of coordinating.

20 points today with an offense and special teams giving them no help. They handed the ball back to the offense three times in reasonable field position in the 4th Quarter unlike the past few games.

There are WAY too many breakdowns in pass coverage and it seems some players cannot handle the scheme they are given. Hyde got caught short on the first big play and I think he was outrun by a TE. The safeties are not helping at all. I bet Capers changed the calls after the first two series because there was suddenly someone much closer to the TE with a free release on the LOS.

Pass rush only got better late with blitzing. Matthews is still not himself. Jones is not enough on his own and Neal got home once. A healthy Perry might help but who knows when that will happen.

Capers is not solely responsible but the players and injuries aren't helping him. I don't think the Packers have drafted well to match his scheme and the injures have made it worse. The question is who will adjust.
