Marc Trestman was right about one thing Sunday: The loss in Minnesota wasn't Robbie Gould's fault. It's entirely the head coach's fault. It's Trestman's fault. Put a microphone in front of any head coach at any level and he'll tell you his primary responsibility is to put his players in an advantageous position. Trestman didn't do that. He coaches as if he doesn't understand the strength of his team is offense. He's coaching as if he doesn't understand the potency of Matt Forte, Brandon Marshall, Martellus Bennett and the now unstoppable Alshon Jeffery. LINK
Truer words have never been spoken... 1st time this year that I've actually seen/felt that we have a rookie HC. Didn't always agree with every move but this last call shows a distinct lack of faith in this team.
I get what he was saying in the post game presser... He didn't want to risk something bad happening. But yes, you have to trust your offense to get a few more yards. If it were a 30 yarder, that's one thing. 47 yards is not a gimme for anyone, as we've seen.
