I can see why two reasonable people could come to different conclusions about that. Lol.

DEMOFF: ....we put him in some tough circumstances over the past few years. Never expected a day like this this to become, never wanted a day like this to happen and always wanted to make sure that we could find a way to fight through some of the difficult challenges and he was absolutely the right person when we hired him in 2012 and the right person to help bring this club back. And, for whatever reason, this year we didn’t have the kind of success over the past few weeks that I think we all expected and wanted.

I think when you look at our team, having lost eight of the past nine, some of the performances the past few weeks have been a little bit more lopsided – and I think that’s what really tipped it. I think if you look at our team over the past few years, we had some close losses – even when you look at the stretch after the 49ers game, we come back, we win three in a row. We had nine games really from Week 2 through Week 11 that were decided on the final drive or in the final two minutes. The team was competitive and playing well – and some of those breaks went our way and some of those breaks didn’t go our way. But I think when you look at the past few games, for whatever reason, it got out of reach in the second half. I think that was really the deciding factor.
