Ah, I didn't see this thread when I made my coaching rant on the thread about "front office" woes.
yeah, I think the blame is on the coahces, not just becasue of play calling, which is obvious, but becasue this team often comes out flat and lifeless. Coaches need to find ways to inspire their teams, even if it's not a "must win". Given that we can beat good teams when we play with fire, that's the most important thing, IMO. Now, players need to be self-motivated, no doubt. But coaching is largely about getting your team to perform to the best of its ability. And we don't see that here week to week.
PS I'm pretty sure Gibbs decided to kick the FG, though most likely Saunders called the pass on 3rd and 1. And, jeeze, what the hell happened to our D????
