"It wasn’t our offense. Our defense let us down, clearly."
~~~~~~~~~~
What's unbelievable to me is that we have a head coach who keeps toadying up to Schott and covering up for him like this.
Didn't he see the same game we did? How can he *not* believe the #1 problem in that loss was Schott???
What's worse: (1) Rex is so weak he has to toady up and cover for Schott like this? or (2) He actually *believes* what he said above???
Michael, BuRf, the rest of you, what say all?
:-)
Well, you are honest enough to put yourself in the "Rex is a dolt" camp too.
After all, how else do you describe a HC who doesn't know the main reason why his team just lost a game like this? Who says...
"It wasn’t our offense. Our defense let us down, clearly."
... when it *was* the offense! Can you respect a HC like this??
When he puts it on the defense and gives the offense a free pass just because the D gave up 34 points, (in a league where the average is 22.6) none off turnovers, while the offense only scored 24.
Seriously, when a HC doesn't know when his O plays worse than his D -- doesn't know even what you know -- that shows how *little* he knows about O. Right?
And that is one thing you CAN'T ever blame on Schott, Rex's not knowing his O played worse than his D, Rex's wrong opinions.
Such ignorance about what he is seeing with his own eyes on offense explains the whole O situation ... plainly enough.
Your problem is with Rex.
Time for you all to admit it. Burf next.
> They had a chance to put the game away for BOTH the offense
> and the defense. It was looking like it could be easy for a while.
Yup. *In spite* of the D letting the other side take the opening kickoff and march the length the of field for a TD putting the O in a hole before it got on the field, the O dug out of the hole with 17 straight points to create a 10-point lead.
It looked like it *could* have been easy -- until the D then let McFadden run off a 70-yarder ... then *100 more* yards personally ... plus *60+ more* for the other RBs ... running their score up to 34 points.
Do you imagine that if the D had held them to something under 200 yards rushing, then it might actually have been easy??
And Rex blames *the D* for this. Hard to believe.
Really, your problem is with Rex, the enabler and protector of Schott.
Time to admit it.

Wow, so defense doesn't count AT ALL!
Because as long as the offense scores a TD on **every single series** it can always tie the game even if the other team scores on every drive after
taking the opening KO back for a touchdown drive. (Unless time runs out -- then it can still lose, and it can still lose in overtime.)
Why, that makes on wonder why Rex spends all those draft picks on building the D! He doesn't know this? Again, that's a problem with Rex there.
A loss is *always* on the offense! In a league where the the average score is 22.6, if the D gives up 34 (none on turnovers) a loss is the offense's fault for not scoring 35! ... if the D gives up 40, a loss is the offense's fault for not scoring 41 ... if the D gives up 75, a loss is the offenses's fault for not scoring 76!
Yup, the loss is *always* on the offense because:
"the offense ALWAYS gets the ball back after the other guy scores."
This is such *brilliant* analysis, why haven't I heard this before?
Anyhow, Rex disagrees with you, in his word "clearly".
So your problem is with Rex. When he makes howling errors like "It wasn’t our offense. Our defense let us down, clearly", then...
It's Rex's fault.
Time to admit it.
