I wonder how this guy has lasted this long...This team constantly underachieves......

They make some of the worst play calls, and decisions of any team in the league.....

They are usually out of timeouts for the first half by the end of the first quarter, and at the end of the 3rd quarter.....today, they finally saved their timeouts, and then wasted them at the end.....

They complete a nice pass with 10 sec left, and use last timeout, at the carolina 28........knowing if a slow footed Chandler gets sacked the half will run out, they should have brought the fg kicker on right then, instead they try another pass play, which took 9 seconds, and threw int into the endzone...almost saying, hey we dont want a fg anyway, bring us to within 10, we would rather have nothing.....If they had 1 timeout remaining, i could understand the call, even if it did get intercepted, but with no timeouts, it was just too close, kick the fg.......

This isnt an isolated incident, they do this stuff all the time......They made the miracle comeback against Seattle, and it looked as if they were finally gonna get on a roll, but with the exception of beating seattle again, they havent done much....This team lost at home to NO, lost to Miami, got creamed by Green Bay, who now cant beat anybody, etc..

Other coaches get fired after winning records, this guy seems to get a free pass every year.....

With the talent they have, there is no reason they should be looking at 6-7 today........:nono5:

He will be first coach fired. He might be one of the worst coaches I have ever seen in NFL next to Coughlin

this guy didn't know the score in the 4th qtr of a playoff game. as a result, he went for it on 4th down rather than kicking a f.g. to tie the game. he should have been fired on the spot. that is unforgivable.

amazing as much as we realize it, HE IS STILL THERE.........

Did it again at start of 4th quarter....4th down and 2 at 25, down 13, a fg pulls you within 10 points, with a whole quarter to go, what do they do, hand it off right up the middle, lose a yard...

Even if u want to go for it, fake a fg, or play action, u have to go against what they expect, not a handoff to a reserve back up the midde....

Has a QB ever had 6 int's in one game before?

Un-f******-believable...

They just keep letting him throw, with no protection, just wing it...

Why not give Smoker a chance, obviously Chandler does not have it.....

How much worse could Smoker do? He was a decent qb in college, at least give him a shot, he is certainly more mobile...

this is a joke.......

Believe me bucs I feel you pain. That guy is the worst coach in football. After losing many weeks because of his idiotic decisions, I have made a mint betting against him of late.

Wow! You guys are right on.

For those that say a coach makes no difference, its all the players on the field, I give you the Mike Martz case. He HAS to be the worst coach EVER!

I think he is resting on his past laurels. Maybe he has brain damage or is hitting the sauce to cause him to make these bad decisions. Was he making these bad decisions when the Rams were good?

he had a team full of vermeil's guys in 2001 that got slapped around by new england in the superbowl. he lost a superbowl game as a 14 point favorite. i have been fading him since.
