Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

Not only did they gaffe on the Hall of Fame thing, but the general assessment (sp) just seems so elementary.

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

i kind of want to email them or something and tell them how stupid they are

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

Was that written by a 5th grader? He may [I]eventually[/I] be a Hall of Fame coach? I'm not even gonna waste any more breath on this one.

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

Okay, so I lied about not wasting anymore breath on this one. Scouts Inc. also ranked us as the worst overall defense out of any of the playoff teams!!! Are they serious? Did someone highjack their site and post this stuff, or are they really that dumb? Hacks Inc. is more like it. Wow.

I don't think any other source would argue with that much.

Wow.

Meanwhile Seattle is #5??

What a joke.

I want my money back from ESPN Insider.

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

I like how they say "watches games"...no shit, sherlock!

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

they are ranking by position, not by how the defense plays as a unit or their chemistry. that is a dumb way to rank a collective defense IMO

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

[quote=12thMan;400852]I like how they say "watches games"...no shit, sherlock![/quote]Actually, they still have the Rally Monkey to do the actual work, they just write the columns.

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

I hear that next season the NFL is going to introduce the Foreward Pass and move the goal posts to the back of the endzone.

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

Forgive the poor reviewer. He just realized he was watching games from 2006, not 2007.

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

My favorite "observation" is that Gibbs has never been a great delegator. Whether it was Pettibon, GW, Danny Smith, Pete Rodriguiez or Wayne Sevier, does Gibbs do any hands on coaching of Defense or Special Teams? All he does is delegate the coaching.

LOL I know.

He has the largest staff in the league for a reason.

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

Maybe Scouts inc. is.......another outsourced American company??????? It has to be the only explanation, as Gibbs is generally referred to as "HOF coach Joe Gibbs"..............every 23 seconds

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

Are you kidding? Gibbs is [U]NOT[/U] a Hall Of Famer? I thought Monk not getting in was bad but I figured with 3 Super Bowl wins with 3 different quarterbacks Gibbs was a lock.
In order to right this wrong, I am starting the Gibbs/Monk HOF campaign to get these two deserving gentlemen into Canton. EVENTUALLY it will happen.:confused:
