    Hell yeah playcalling is part of the problem. They had never held a lead for an entire 3 games, 2 of which were against other fodder teams and the Pats defense is bottom half at least.

    If you just look at the final score, sure you feel like he's almost there. But that doesnt emulate the feeling of hopelessness one gets when the team is down 2 possessions. He's good at scrounging up pts in late meaningless, or less threatening, possessions so the final score doesnt look too bad. Kubiak was the same way.

    So, Ive watched almost all the games Romo commentates on and he has praised every coach during the game. The only coach he didnt praise in all those was butt chin. If yall remember the first game of the season, he had to bite his tongue and not say butt chin was ****ing idiot.

    4th and goal from the one inch line.

    Shotgun formation from BOB.

    Just another in a long list of fireable offenses.

    3rd (4th?) series where they've been stuffed over and over and over at the goal line. Fire this POS.

    14 minutes since someone said to fire him.

    That's too long.

    Fire Him!

    An empty chair is an improvement at this point.

    Regardless of the outcome of tonight there is no justifying BOB having a job tomorrow.

    Anyone who has coaching experience at any level in college or pros - improvement.

    O'Brien's coaching makes Kevin McHale's stint with the Rockets look like Red Auerbach.

    Bill may be a great players coach ...I.e, the team loves him .

    But how the **** is he gonna continue to design runs for Watson when gen is taking a beating out there . That's our franchise !!

    It's incredible that fans can consistently find flaws with what this guy does every game .... and not after the fact , but we just know his calls are amateur.

    Every single week ..." it's on me , I need to coach better "

    If I had a job and every week I ****ed up , and every week I said "yeah I need to do better" , then there would come a week when I didn't have a job
