For me I haven't quite figured it out yet, & it's a toss up between a few different things that really bugged me.
1) Staying with sinking ship players/coaches that were clearly the downfall of the team, especially with Tice this season. I think it's safe to say Tice should've been forced to hand the playbook to Bates. Even if the results were no better, at least show the team & fanbase that your willing to try something other than what obviously isn't working. Some people new Tice was a disaster before preseason, & their opinions weren't valued because they weren't considered "football guys".
1a. Not letting Orton QB the team in the 2005 playoffs. I'm sure hat Angelo played a part in this, however Lovie/Angelo are basically like the devil, & anti christ, which are basically one and same. I'm a firm believer in dancing with whomever brings you to the show, & in 2005, it was Orton, not Rex.
I guess I could come up with a number of things that drove me nuts, especially the way he mocked the fanbase opinions, in spite of the fanbases opinions being right time and time again, but he's no longer here, & no longer the problem so it's easier to let go of.
If the F.O. Can come up with at least two,hopefully three quality offensive lineman, a MLB, TE, DE/CB depth under a competent OC, this offseason, this will be a distant memory.
