but I expect him to be more consistent yes... I am surprised that you don't as I read you regularly
I will admit I thought they were dead after Stafford went down...and it's nice to see them win 3 in a row
But this team has played in 5 SBs and won 2 We have been to the mountain top... I have expectations of this coach. And being a good coach or a top coach can't only happen when you have a loaded roster of all-stars When people say he is one of the better coaches in the league I expect to see that. Nobody is saying Stafford in one of the best QBs in the league right now either. We don't say that just because Stafford was 2 years ago
Right now... McVay seems to be trying to dig himself out of a hole. Let's see him do it... and he can start by having the team ready to meet the intensity of the Ravens on Sunday

when you are 11-18 over the last two seasons
you have to show you are one of the best coaches in football to be considered one
And you are welcome to your opinion. But if you look at this year's roster and expect them to run the table you lack perspective. This team is in the playoff hunt because of the quality of our staff and the buy-in of players who outwork rosters who have more talent.
I have never looked at your expectations as unreasonable, for the record. I do also have high expectations. But the quality of McVay has taught me a lot as a fan. I've been on McVay's nuts about the run game for a long time, but he won a Super Bowl without a run game. So he is one of those rare coaches who makes me reevaluate myself and my own ability to judge this great game I love. That's how good he is and I make sure I always keep that in mind as I do my fan ranting and raving.
Thing is there are posters who are completely oblivious to that quality. And that's what I think is important here. Why is it important? Because those fans are not stopping to smell the flowers. It's a common failing we all share time to time. So posts like the above by Max are very good I think for bringing that aspect out, particularly in a season where you have fans whining about the offense not hanging 30+ on everyone or the undermanned defense not earning 3 'n outs on every possession. Having a positive swing in the posts to make that reminder are valuable in that way.
