Carolina had Holt covered most of the time...which is how Bulger ended up with Bruce as his #1..and Bruce had a good day. Bulger, also, had a pretty decent day. Don't get down on the QB and the players for something the coach did.

And he's done it multiple times. The guy must not watch ESPN at all...cause hell, even they know.

Marshall Faulk must touch the the ball 35 to 40 times a game.

1st half - 8.

Last drive - 8.

Marshall picked the team up and CARRIED IT when the game was on the line. And your idiot coach pissed away 2 shots at an outright win by letting the clock run to 3 without doing anything.

Quite frankly, it was the worst example of coaching I've seen since Rich Kotite was in Philly.

Carolina was good, they deserved to be there in a close game. You guys had the edge, though, and any other coach in the NFL would have won that game...even without the 2 time pro-bowl qb. (Bulger is actually pretty good...and Warner has his problems)

...Their defense in the red zone was amazing all year. Yes Bulger should have been able to punch one in...but he doesn't have the freedom that the qbs on your list have to "make things happen". (Again we're back at crap coaching).

Also, you had much better weapons when Warner played. 4 receivers that would start n any team at #1...now you have Holt, and the one player that your coach just doesn't seem to know how to use...Marshall Faulk. If the opposition knows he's not in you game plan (very obvious early yesterday)...you can drop back to 5 in the box and double-cover the speedsters.
