Tremendous coach on every level. 4-0 record in bowl games against Bowden, Osborne and Paterno. Only the second coach in NFL history to regain the championship with a team dethroned one year prior. Only Halas, Switzer and Belichick have managed that feat.

Uncle Buck Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 In my opinion, Gary Anderson deserves every single bit of heat he gets for that miss. Sure, he didn't have a miss all season, but how much stress did he have? The Vikings went 15-1 that season and probably still would have had the same record if Anderson had missed every kick. They needed him to come through for them ONE TIME all season, and he blew it, at home, when he had the chance to send the team to the Super Bowl. The blame he has taken over the years has been COMPLETELY warranted. There was no excuse for missing that kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Bears up until that point weren’t able to do anything offensively, they could have locked up the game way before that against a depleted Eagles team but couldn’t do anything. It was just another complete failure in Nagys and the Bears line of them.

SteelKing728 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 That Tight End for Green Bay in 2014. I remember getting so much heat for putting that L on McCarthy. 4 years later, all their fans turned on him anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Smithers Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) Brandon Bostick is a good one. Pete Carroll for not running the ball. The chances of a Malcolm Butler intercepting that ball were like as low as can be . Matt Dodge for his punt to Desean Jackson.

The guys who should be getting more blame imo is Morgan Burnett for sliding after the pick with about 5 minutes left and Julius Peppers for telling him to slide. Years later and that still bothers me as much as the Bostick error. Well. I didn't realize that this would was still fresh to me. But it is. Bostick screwed it up royally, no doubt. Peppers, though.....grrrrr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Halas, Switzer and Belichick have managed that feat. Somehow the simpletons wanted that Cowboys team to keep gobbling up titles for a decade or more. Yeah, that happens all the time. Easy sledding in the NFC in those years, given only the likes of Steve Young and Brett Favre to worry about. What could possibly go wrong against those guys, when we've got declining Troy Aikman and his 6.7 YPA? Barry Switzer was a great college coach, but he was an underwhelming NFL HC. Just the truth, dawg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off topic and completely hypothetical, I know, but I still think Paterno could've been one of the best NFL coaches of all time if he pursued it. But I get your point tho.

There were plenty of goats in that game - McCarthy's decision-making wasn't optimal, but also Bostick (who isn't the SOLE reason but isn't blameless, either...if you're going to go up to get the football against what your coach told you, you'd best come down with it) or Clay Matthews simply not even attempting to make a play on lobbed 2 pt pass. Very much a team loss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSURacerDT55 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) Unwarranted scapegoat? Cam Newton: he carried the team to the super bowl and his OL and Receivers failed him on the biggest stage.

Especially since the Big Ten (and Baylor!) is starting to up the ante, going from "paying players" to "ignoring/allowing a culture of sexual assault."
