I understand that they're not game-planning these games like they do in the regular season.
I understand that they are playing vanilla schemes.

What I don't understand is why, year after year, these defensive players continue to launch themselves at the ball-carrier at full speed like they are ***** torpedoes instead of wrapping their guy up.  

If there is anything that gets my blood boiling more than anything else, it's poor tackling and over-pursuit.  And it was on full display last night.  I genuinely, emphatically do not understand how this team can be so bad at something so ***** basic year after year.  The coaches should be having aneurysms over this.  Instead, it's always the same listless response.  "We gotta do a better job."  No shit.  Maybe actually ***** do it this year.

God I hate that shit. It is the same excuse over and over and over and over. "We have to do a better job!" No shit Sherlock! But knowing you need to do better and actually executing what should be done does not go hand in hand with this coaching staff. They are ridiculously inept in every aspect of the game. Bottom line, if we had better coaches, we have a very good team on the field. Yet, we have Marvin. A 15yr resume of disorganization, failure to complete tasks, and a horrible knowledge of clock management.
