You think Zorn is a better coach than Phillips?? The problem is not Wade Phillips, he doesn’t play. The problem this year was injuries to some key players including:

Tony Romo, Marion Barber, and Jason Witten

Roy Williams (s) - Placed on IR, forearm

Felix Jones - Placed on IR, toe

Kyle Kosier - Placed on IR, foot

Pat Watkins - Placed on IR, neck

Matt Briar - Placed on IR, broken foot

Every team has injuries, it’s part of the NFL, good coaches adapt, improvise and overcome. Phillips couldn’t do that.

Typical cowgirl fan, blame defeat on injuries, as if the rest of the NFL goes unscathed.

The 'boys haven't won a playoff game since '96 and have crapped the bed every year this century in December.

How about they are good players but a bad team?

Look at the yankees this year, a load of good players and a TEAM that came up short.

“The problem this year was injuries to some key players including:”

The Pats lost Tom Brady the first quarter of the first game on the season not to mention other key players throughout the balance of the year and ended up 11 & 5.

I think the more relevant question would be "Will Zorn be a better head coach when he has 8 years experience as a head coach?"

Phillips has been in playoff games 4 times, and lost them all. He seethes with mediocrity.

/Skins fan //Skins fans are almost equally delusional about their own team ///Not giving up on Zorn after one 8-8 season.

The Ravens went 11-5 (kicking the cowgirls a$$es along the way) with a rookie qb, rookie headcoach, and yes, key players on the IR.

good teams (like Clint Eastwood’s marines in Heartbreak Ridge) overcome and adapt to adversity.

Your team (like my Ravens of years past) point fingers, and look for something external to use as an excuse. God am I glad that TO spurned us here in Baltimore. He is a team killer.

How do the cowgirls feel being the NFL’s answer to the NY Yankees?
