Palatine, can you or anyone else tell me what is wrong with anyone praising people who do a good job while working for them?

What is wrong is that Randy always praised the coaches first after any win.

He always blamed execution after every loss. --which is, in effect, blaming the players for the loss. Randy rarely blamed the coaches for the losses.

If after wins, Randy praised the players first and credited execution for the wins, I would have no problem.

But Randy crediting coaches for the wins and blaming players for the losses isn't fair.

That was definitely the Old Randy. The New Randy seems different so far. Not wound so tight. He gets the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.
 
Earlier Pal cries there haven't been enough wins.

Now he cries the guy who actually won didn't talk about the wins and losses in the exact way that Pal wants.

I'm sure by Saturday morning it will be a drumbeat for any and all quarterbacks we don't see on Friday.

So who will QB this Friday game given the medical no contact jerseys? Bisack, Sherriffs? Williams with a bad knee?, one of the other walk ons? Looks like it will be the Bisack show.
 
For all our Diaco TE jokes, our roster is down to just Myers, Bloom and Holman at this position and two of these guys are seniors. I'm not taking Allmendinger seriously given his height.

Jasen Rose, there is a major opportunity for you here at the TE position for 2018-2020.
