That's one of our coaching staff's biggest problems, they stick to a system that's not working until it causes too much damage.

The posters saying 'fire Sutton' that would be stupid at this point.. Sutton is a good coach. He is well respected throughout the league.. He will adjust... Still plenty of time left for the D to improve. No guarantee it will but no guarantee it won't either. Suttton has had plenty of success here. There is time for him to fix things and make adjustments...

I'm not sure it's stupid, it's a sign of frustration with clearly clearly seeing what our coaching staff appears to not see. We can get into the whole "we don't have the personnel to change, or at least not change on the fly" debate, but this team's answer to every terrible performance is, "we'll learn from this." Then they don't seem to. It might be simpler to say, "I'm not going to take that question."

Typical CP flip flop... 'Alex Smith only has a good record because of the team surrounding him... Our defense held Steelers to 18-pts..' Our defense looks bad this year 'Fire Sutton.. He sucks!' Well if he sucks then clearly Smitty deserves a lot of credit for winning... Which is it?

I'm thinking we'd like some balance. Alex is going to suffer criticism because we suffered 4 years of inaccuracy, turtling, and checking down. He's seeming showing us a different Alex now that they drafted a QB. Well he did for five games. Few think it's a coincadink. But the true balance would be having a D-line that could get pressure, while having an O-line that's can block, and BDs that aren't almost guaranteed to give up 10-15 yards in 4 downs.
All in the same year.
As much as the D and O-line crack us up?
How about a head coach who knows when to hand off play calling to somebody else?
