Gray's plan to slow down the Pats

That's an easy one to get stuck in the craw and if you already had a reason then it was a good excuse to hate on him... but it was relevant to what he was doing, was self-effacing, and actually humorous. I think I was somewhat perturbed at the time, and I mock it from time to time, but it's never been that big of a deal.

Your real beef was Fisher not trotting VY out there? LOL

Well at least it might give him a 100 yard game.

we didn't get mercy yards that day. CJ was just the only one who had enough pride not to give up. regardless, the running game was non-existant - and not because it couldn't have been that day. it was

The fact is, it is hilarious as fuck we are talking about that 59-0 atrocity without dicussing why the hell Jeff Fisher wasn't fired on his way to the plane that night. Worst ass kicking since the mer

Any coach who hadn't completely given up and put his career and the franchise on cruise control out of spite would have shuffled the shit out of that team going into the bye week looking for a spark, and yes that should have started with KFC. The QB is always the first place unless he's good and no KFC was not good. He may not have been blatant terrible, but that's not saying much.

The fact of the matter is that the team kept Vince Young. If that was out of Fisher's control and he didn't like it, that's when you move aside. He stayed, so play with the cards you are dealt.

KFC wasn't the entire problem on that team, it was a combination of many things... but guess what - He wasn't the answer either.

Now, you can revisionist the shit out of whatever you want Because Vince Young proved again to be a turd, but there is a damn good reason everyone expected KFC to get benched and that's because any coach who hadn't put his career and the franchise on cruise control out of spite would have shuffled the shit out of that team going into the bye week looking for a spark, and yes that should have started with KFC. Sound familiar?

The reasoning has nothing to do with Vince Young. He only comes up because Fisher lost the power struggle with the owner. Well, he lost. Get over it. When you go away from KFC, you will turn to Vince Young.

That's reality, and when a coach is so completely at odds with an owner and it inhibits his ability to make needed changes on the team for fear of using players he has no interest in using - Fuck yes it is time to move on.

Fisher can be justified in not liking Vince all he wants, but Bud hasn't died yet so Fisher's insistence on his opinion was only creating more stress and bullshit for the team.

And, yes, 0-6 was also a big ass part of my

comment... but ignore that all you want. I know it hurts some of your sphincters to discuss his failures as a coach.

We started 0-5 that year because our defense was a MASH unit and we couldn't stop anyone from scoring as well as a pretty brutal first 6 games.. You guys act like we were blown out.. We lost by less than a TD in most of them. Our Defense was the last unit on the field in several.. Collins was not bad or the problem..

@titansfan does have a good point on Locker though...

They have limited tape of Locker, and since then we have upgraded the offense significantly... They have an idea for how to scheme against Jake and if it doesn't work, then Jake will be able to abuse them. If their plan works, then ours better be better
