I am waiting for Fisher’s press conference. Then I am waiting for Bernie to tell me what to think. đ
AgamemnonI donât think Bernie is happy today.
Bernie loves this stuff. He is a hog in slop heaven. đ
AgamemnonHe needs to take responsibility for his mistakes namely for this undisciplined mess being unprepared to win after 10 days off against a team with less talent. Off the top of my head Mora,Parcells even Martz would own up to his mistakes but not Fisher. No we get stuff like âWell I sure didnât expect that out of themâ Coaches are part of the team but Fisher continually separates himself from any accountability .Heâs had 3 years and made millions at this point it is unacceptable to âthinkâ his team is prepared he has to know it.
Assuming your explanation of why they lost is the actual explanationâŠthat is, what a veteran coach would see when he goes over filmâŠhow do you know what he does behind closed doors? When it counts?
I cannot think of a single coach who has ever spoken in a way you are suggesting he should (assuming, again, that your analysis of what happened is the correct one). You forgetâpress conferences are not confessionals with angry fans as the inquisitors. They are staged events the coach uses the way he feels he needs to in order to keep the real issues behind closed doors.
And they sure as heck donât say much until they have reviewed the film.
As angry as we are personally, coaches never act like we are the final judges. I donât think you can actually BE a coach and think that way.
Unless you can think of examples of coaches who did act that wayâŠthat is, that they owe humble self-confession to angry fans after a bad loss before they have even seen the film.
But. No point in arguing. We’re both pizzed off, we just express it differently. So feel free to have your say…we all have that right.
Yeah we really respected Mora for that.
In fact that vid became famous as the very model of honest coaching self-appraisal in front of the press.
Not, as some assume, the butt of endless jokes.

I don’t understand this zn , my analysis ? Did I read the score in the wrong direction? Mora was a perfect example Fisher should be completely embarrassed and I have no respect for him and his endless excuses.At least I could respect Mora for being honest and facing the facts.
Good, Bad, Ugly.
=====================================
AlyoshamucciSo, I have a moment to talk about the last couple games, and that’s about it. I know there are many who read these and get a lot out of them, so I’ll say this up front,and be moving on . .
“The team this year has no starting QB, and any team that does not have a starting QB has no real shot. Fisher gets 5 years from me. Continuity is the only thing that can save us, the WORST franchise besides the Raiders.”
We’ve seen how well we can play, and had a few games gone a little different we’d be in the hunt, even with backup QBs.
The Good
1) Gaines is okay (not injured). He has done a better job than I could have ever imagined, and he is playing the “straight man” opposite Jenkins. Also, he doesn’t seem to have any injury or mental awareness issues. Tru may be expendable, which means someone will pay handsomely for him and we’ll net a compensatory pick.
2) Aaron Donald should be in the pro bowl. What a great pick.
3) Robinson seems to be getting more comfortable, and showing off some of the freakish athleticism that we expect.
4) Kenny Britt has earned a paycheck from us. His aggression and leadership are priceless, and beyond that he makes tough catches.
5) Our team has an attitude. I like that.
6) Austin is becoming more of a factor. At least he hasn’t maxed out his usefulness.
7) mason’s TD was fierce. Facemasked and STILL made the pylon.
The bad
8) I did not like the let-down against the Giants. The Cards was depressing too, though we were inches away from that one (Jenks pick, Bailey’s drop, ouch). I REALLY did not like Shaun Hill’s performance in either game. That changes my draft, because apparently we need a better backup than we have.
9) Our interior line is not acceptable.
10) There was a lack of imagination on defense against the Giants, and the inability to cover the most explosive player in the NFL over the last two weeks confuses me. Why didn’t we adjust the coverage?
11) No defensive line sacks. Its like they can hear it when they are being praised and play at half speed.
12) Stedman has to know he’s hot and be ready, even for a questionably thrown pass.
13) How many of Sims’ penalties for roughing were real? This is a question. I remember three out of the 5 mentioned and they were barely calls or bad calls.
14) The commentators need to stay off the “moving to LA” thing for one . . darn . . game.
15) Throw the ball to Stedman more.
The Ugly
16) Frustrated fans. I don’t get it. We like the worst team in the NFL, we’re accountable for making the best of it, just like anything else in our lives.
Draft. So the play of Hill the past few games means we cant make the playoffs with him even if he is surrounded by talent. That changes my draft board.
1) Trade down and pick up a 4th . . draft Scherff at 15 to play OG. (There is a chance I take Arik Armstead here if Fish okays his personality)
2-8) Shane Carden
3) Gallek OC BC
4) Stephon Anthony MLB/OLB Clemson
5) Zegarrette Davis DE Kentucky Freak at 6-6 275 plays inside and out, but on Kentucky in a great class where he’ll be overshadowed.
6) Jeff Prater WR Northwestern 6-5 222 USC transfer with hands and physical ability
7) Gabe Wright DT AuburnUDFA Uzomah TE Auburn 6-5 268.
=======================Cardin is no.7 on this list.
I would think one of these
young men, is going to be wearing
horns next year.
