"I don't want my team playing afraid to lose....When you play afraid to lose you usually lose," Sparano said. "If you're afraid to get out there and get in the left lane, cutting it loose because you're afraid of the consequences, I see that as a problem. My team plays best when they are yucking it up out there and cutting it loose."

This is about as close Sparano has come to throwing someone under the bus publicly IMO, we'll see if it serves as some much needed motivation come Sunday.

Wow......

Someone should have told him this when we had a 3rd and 6, and chose to run the ball and settle for a FG against Indy.

I don't care if Ronnie Browns Mom calls the plays.

Sporano is responsible for everything that occurs on that field during game day.
Either get it drilled into his OC’s head to stop calling the game like Jim Tressel when he has a lead, or make sure he’s playing to win, not playing “not to lose”

I think it was an attempt to let the "outside world" know that he wasn't happy

with the play calling.Yes he is the HC and the buck stops with him,he said that after the game, but I’m sure Henning took an ass chewing behind closed doors because Sparanos attitude is step on their damn throat when you have them on the ground vs here bud..let me give you a hand! Gruden made me want to puke when he was praising Henning for putting TEs in motion to help block the edges…that is Pop Warner Football IMO.

Why not make LBs cover our WRs,RBs and TEs in the passing game is my question ..high powered Os do it every Sunday with great success.
