What I can’t stand is the same old same old Raheem post game just got our butts kicked plethera of excuses and ramblings. “we just gotta coach better, gotta tackle better, gotta catch better, gotta block better, gotta kick better, gotta cover better, gotta stop getting drive killing bone headed should know what we are doing penalties better. Raheem would be a decent D coordinator (with no other responsibilities). We need Cowher or Reid to bring back respectability to our defense, good qb coaching, imaginative play calling, discipline, fundamentals, etc. The current regime is an absolute joke

I wish T.J. Rives or any of the local media types would have had the “gnads” to follow-up with what BucForce said above about the other 31 teams having to play by the same rules.

Are the locals scared that Raheem won’t talk to them or grant them interviews anymore if they did? Unfortunately, come next season, I don’t beleive it will be an issue with a new head coach.

Raheem is a GREAT person…just not NFL Coach material.

been saying if for a few weeks and ill say it again, nobody gets cut or looses playing time based on their play, besides one guy geno and the best backup watson hasnt even been given the chance to start over him. All the dlineman are raheems young draft picks there not going anywhere if its up to him.

Raheem talking motivation is like Sandusky talking childcare.

He forgot the biggest motivator. Be his little buddy and get a huge contract despite actually doing anything on the field.

“you got to motivate them through themselves” = Genius! No s-it.

Motivation comes easily in the NFL bc if you play well you get very rich – any pro will tell you that.

Motivation isnt the problem – a clueless coach is.

TJ Rives is the biggest suck up in radio history. They could lose 50 nothing and TJ will spend 10 minutes complimenting rah for not tripping while running out of the tunnel. I know the controlling Glazers restrain the host, but my goodness do you have any journalistic integrity or character at all.

This team is 4-7 and lost 5 in a row with three blowouts and if you didnt know it from listening to the Rah /Rives suck up show – we are the 11-0 defending champ Packers.

Players get motivated, at least partially, by seeing the results of their efforts translate on the field. Things like having a good gameplan, etc. For example I thing Bellichick’s Pats know that he is going to put them in position to win, almost every week.

Its similar perhaps to a receiver who busts his ass to get open, and then the QB hits him in stride. Doesnt work so well if the Qb throws it in the dirt every time.

So, if the other team continues to run through Rah’s defense like a scalded bulldog running down a marble staircase, it hurts morale after awhile.

Apparantly, the man has no answer for it. Might be time to look in the mirror?

Wah wah Rah Rah. All 32 teams in the NFL now have to deal with the practice restrictions agreed to by the PLAYERS in the new CBA. They didn’t want to wear down over the course of the season. It is what it is, so deal with it like everyone else. Using not practicing in pads more again sounds like an excuse for their poor play. Earlier it was the schedule, yet we lost to a Tennessee team arguably worse than us on paper. Figure it out Raheem ,or find another gig at Kansas State.

Great worst motivating coach in team history is now giving us lessons on motivation. Teams usually have a lack of motivation at the tail end of a season when the losses pile up or against inferior teams they just could not get up for. The Bucs tanked in San Francisco in the middle of a playoff run against a formidable opponent. I was at the Texan game it looked like they were just trying to play flag football. Its the head coaches job to motivate and how many players from the opposing team this year have told our players we need to start trying????? Raheems downfall is motivatio. For some reason his buddy/coach approach gives players no reason to give effort because he will love them either way effort or no effort. What a joke. Please Raheem go motivate your dog at home you might be better at that.
