I want no part of Aaron Glenn as a HC
Is there going to be a "I want know part Joe Brady as a HC" thread too?
No double standard here. Brady is my #1, but if Buffalo comes out and scores 3 today, Im going to think twice about Brady. As long as he doesnt lay a full egg, he is still an option.
45 is laying an egg.
Sure its 1 game. But its 1 game in the playoff pressure cooker. Much more revealing than a regular season game. If detroit lost 28-24, Id say Glenn was still an option. But 45? You do next to nothing right when you give up 45. And they couldve given up 50+. Washington demoralized the most motivated team in the NFL, because of the turstile the Lions trotted out there on defense.
Here is the problem thats developing with the excuses. People want to give Glenn the injury excuse. Well, he is going to have injuries here, so thats that. The "injury excuse" led the Lions defense to 30th against the pass, 26th in yards per play, 20th in yards, 21st in penalties and giving up 45 and being 1 and done in the playoffs.
You get the injury excuse when you are in the upper half. That means youve outcoached your talent. But to be 30th against the pass in a pass happy league and being 26th in yards per play and well into the bottom half in total yards? That just means you were the DC. It doesnt mean you did it all that well. Injuries, in and of themselves, arent a reason you should be a head coach. You have to outcoach those injuries for it to be a feather in your cap.
