No. The COACHES failed the players and McCarthy stupid risk taking killed the team. McCarthy was doing stupid things from game 1. Remember not kicking the tying field goal against Rams? No. All season, McCarthy has called foolish,high risk, low reward plays that killed momentum and lost games. And , Nolan has insisted all season on playing his defense linemen standing where they get blown off the line. The NFL is a coaches league. Every team has injuries and holes in the lineup but when you have ridiculous coaches, you lose every time.
