I don't know about you, but saying that the offensive stats the Rams put up is a formula for success seems like a moral victory to me..Quote

I swear.
If I hear one more time about Fisher's moral victories and how the O is improving I'm going to puke. For him that is the measure of "success". Not wins..
I have to call bs on that.
No one is declaring moral victories. Repeat. No one. There is No. One. You can't quote anyone or anything that says that.
People are squarely honest about what caused the defeat...2 turnovers. (There were 3, I know, but the first 2 are what caused the defeat).
Meanwhile, in spite of frustration rage disappointment and ritual self-mutilation through hairpulling, honest analysis is always welcome
Well were there improvements in the offense or not. Yes or no. It's an answerable question, and it's an askable question.
You can still stew and boil and fuss over the loss. Burn players and coaches in effigy, the whole 9 yards.
But asking and answering an honest analytic question is its own, separate, different thing.
Because in spite of the overwhelming horror of being 3-2... it's a long season left still, and it;s interesting to figure out if they have improved in any areas. It would be nice to actually discuss that, in reasonable ways.
...
The question is whether or not it is indisputably that in context.
Not whether someone read that into it when it's not there.
It's not there. You read it in.
It's a coach's job to keep a deep churning and headed in the right direction while being critical of the problems. And Fisher did both things.
Only in the hands of someone who just WANTS to be angry at something can that be misconstrued as "declaring moral victory." BS. In context he directly addressed the issues and problems too.
AND encouraging the team to keep headed the right direction is not the wrong thing to do, it's the right thing to do. How many coaches do you know get success out of berating their team the way some angry-after-a-loss fans berate coaches?
