I see teams like the ravens and the 9ers mess up from time to time. If the 9ers and ravens would ALWAYS respond, they'd have a perfect season. The 85 bears didn't even have that.

Stop worrying.

Gregg Williams is one of those guys who jumps teams, starts off strong, and I guess he gets tired of the team after a year and he comes up with nothing new.

This was one of the problems I saw with him as a coordinator.

I think the JAX game was just the Saints getting rid of the after taste of Gregg Williams coaching where tackling always was an issue.

...he does, however, come up with really stupid powerpoints presentations to motivate his players, which have proven to be to his detriment!

Don't know if theres any Arrested Development fans out there (great show if you missed it) but I wonder, after Payton dished out all that $$ to get Gregg on board, when the exact moment was that Sean looked around and said,

"I've made a HUGE mistake."

I don't think it was a mistake. He helped bring us a Superbowl.

The money probably isn't a factor sice Benson re-paid Payton, but I'm sure there was a point at which Payton was convinced Gregg had to go.

I wonder when that point was.

Yep, great point, there would be no Lombardi in Loozy without Williams (or Sharper, or both, cause everything changed once Darren was gone) and you're right, it definitely wasn't a mistake.

I'd just like to know when that first little inkling of doubt crept into his mind, which eventually turned into 'that look' that was captured in some random photograph of Payton that I saw (Quite possibly after the Seattle game, but that's really as much of that memory that I want to dig up). Wish I could find it, cause it summed up everything
