I guess he's an idiot too. He needs to read more coaching books and educate himself.

Maybe you can educate us on where exactly an A- might fall on the grading scale?
I'm all ears for this explanation.

Tom Brady had another outstanding effort with a 400+ passing yards game, and at times it looked like he was playing pitch and catch with his two tight ends Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski. They just keep making big plays and tough catches when they get down in the red zone. Trying to see a little guy like Bob Sanders cover Gronkowski in the end zone was just an impossible assignment. Jerod Mayo made a nice stop on the fourth and goal to keep the Chargers out of the end zone. Overall it was a strong effort against a top flight opponent. The defense is still a work in progress, but as Belichick would say it's time to move on.

Seems like Grogan is closer to the positive end of the scale than the Uber-negative which you occupy.
Maybe you see it differently.
Again, you raised the point so lets see you defend it.
