re: I'm largely surprised at the response to this game

Dude......


6-6 was nice, it was right in the middle of where pretty much almost all of our posters thought we'd be.


Howfrickinever, 6-6 was soooooo damn close to being 10-2, 9-3 at worst. That's the painful part that is bringing the frustrations back.



add in the realizations that our coach is pretty full of shite on the player safety issue, and that's going to make defending him a chore over the offseason.



add in the fact that we had really hoped we'd turned the proverbial corner and the ailments of those games we gave away came back in a hurry when Chaney couldn't adjust his gameplan. The biggest issue my circle of Hog fans have w/ Chaney is once the opposing Defense adjusts and stacks the box and sells out to stop the run and we have to rely on Brandon Allen and Chaney to preserve the lead with a abhorrent passing game, we're toast. All of that came back and brought a lot of our hopes back to Earth with a thud.


It really irks us too that a dude making $3 mil + doesn't seem to realize what us Joe Blow fans have seen and bemoaned about all season long.


As for the future, we really need to not put all of our eggs in the Ty Storey basket. I think we need a 2nd QB in this class as a safety net. Chaney's not going to develop the QB's like we need/want them to be. We're getting worried that these guys that will be extremely experienced come their Jr/Sr. years will have given all they have for not because we have a coach that refused to pull the trigger and make an upgrade in an area that is a glaring weakness because it might cause a strain w/ our best assistant coach.

Bert will clean house when and where it's needed as evidenced by sweeping out all of the defensive coaches but Shannon after last season. The only coaches I could see having some nerves about keeping their jobs would be the WR and RB coaches, and hopefully the OC.
