YAH! Bring back Spags!!It's amazing that Fisher has lasted this long, the guy seems like an idiot, employing someone for 3 years just due to who their farther is. He needs to go.

I, for one, thought that Saffold should have been playing at RG instead of LG. IMO he's better their. I may be wrong but I believe it would have made a difference! I hope our O-Line is Long - Robinson - Wells - Saffold and Barksdale this week in TB!How about something constructive instead like what would you do with the players we have if you had his job?
that is my point too. if your down big and limited at QB then throw the play book at them. why continue play conservative and soft. I would respect him if he tried throwing out trick plays left and right even if they didn't workI'm no fan of Schotty.
I've rewatched the game 4 times. I mostly have no problem with his calls the first half. The Rams were tearing up the Vikings in the air. It was a 1 score game until nearly the 2 minute warning. The drives were killed by penalties and execution errors.
In the second half, when things were dire and Rams were down 20-3, he didn't take the chances you would HAVE to take to win. If you're going to lose anyway, what risk is there in lighting them up?
Of course with the level of protection and AD in there, it would be very high risk behavior. So what?
However, Fish is going to do what Fish is going to do. This is a tired subject.
Stacy had an injury at the time and was only out there as a decoy. But what if Schotty did make Stacy try to run it in and he got nailed for a 5 yard loss? Would that be the end of it, or would people be asking why he didn't go five-wide to spread out the pressure and throw it to one of his taller receivers on a corner fade? It's just one of those things where the coordinator is smart when something works and dumb when it doesn't.That Seattle game on Monday night prime example the one yard line and you go five wide out I would take my chances with Stacy at the one then throw a pass with my backup Qb
IMO because Davis isn't capable of handling it, and while the L still counts as an L, you go from getting blown out to getting Blown the Fuck Out, while at the same time destroying the confidence of the last active QB on your roster (I don't think Keenum was active Sunday?).that is my point too. if your down big and limited at QB then throw the play book at them. why continue play conservative and soft.

Stacy a decoy on a passing route no a better decoy would be him staying in the backfield play action pass. Sending Stacy out wide already told the defense pass. So yeah that was schotty at his worseStacy had an injury at the time and was only out there as a decoy. But what if Schotty did make Stacy try to run it in and he got nailed for a 5 yard loss?

And if it had worked? There were all kinds of plays being dialed up on that final drive inside the 10. You can't blame the coordinator when one quick pass was dropped by Givens, a run failed to punch it in, and then Quick didn't even try to locate or fight for the last pass (which was perfectly thrown). Sorry, but this one doesn't pass the litmus test for me.Stacy a decoy on a passing route on a better decoy would be him staying in the backfield play action pass.

That's the problem with schotty, because he can dial up good plays it all goes back to the run game though. Look at our rushing yards for those games, minus the Indy game when Tavon went off. He is a good play caller when the run game is effective but when it's not his play calling is poor.And yet Shotty was a genious last year in games against Indy, New Orleans, Chicago, Jacksonville.....
The execution of predictable, pedestrian and boring plays is on one guy, namely BS.Honestly, blaming the O-coordinator just seems stale and unoriginal to me. Can't you guys think of any other scapegoats to blame? Execution on pretty much all levels was pretty terrible, hard to put all that blame on just one guy.
agree 100% !this guy hasn't even tried with Tavon. the lack of opportunities and the lack of creativity with the ones he called (executed poorly or not) were unoriginal. how on Gods green Earth do you justify running your little 180lb spark plug up the gap to get pounded when the running game was already going nowhere? how many injuries do we need? the obvious toss to him in the flat that was sniffed out too. this is in no way about ONE game. we're playing with backup and third string QBs so forget trying to be conservative and attempt to squeeze out a win with the defense he should be throwing the damn play book at them and say BRING IT! win or lose give it 110% and I've never seen Schotty do it
I am not a Schottenheimer fan, but it is interesting how the OCs in this town are treated. Shurmur was vanilla and not very well liked, McDaniels was crazy and had no idea how to work with the "talent" he had, and now Schotty is too stupid to run an NFL offense after squeezing blood out of a rock in New York and helping Mark freaking Sanchez of all people maximize his potential and get to AFC title games.
Aren't the players at least somewhat culpable, and to a certain extent the guys picking those players? It's not like Schottenheimer threw the interception, missed blocks, ran the ball right at defenders, gave up on routes, and committed bone headed offensive pass interference penalties.
Again, I agree that I don't think Schottenheimer is good enough to lead a talent deficient offense to a championship, but he is certainly good enough to beat the freaking Vikings at home with the players he currently has. The players just didn't show up on Sunday.
