Bah, dum, pas! Oh, you weren't joking? I laughed.

I can't tell if the coaching staff has gone into tank mode? If not, they sure are fooling me. If so, is Tepper aware of the tanking?

This team, smh.

Beside one blown coverage by the dolphins, this team has played like utter crap. Rhule has lost this team whether he's aware of it or not. Chances are he's clueless about that too.

So does anyone question at this point the problem is the coaching?

9 dudes mugged up to the LOS and Cam didn't check out of that run call. WHAT THE FUG????

DJ is soft. If there's going to be contact, he has the droppsies. On the deep pass, no deep defender to collapse on him. Miraculously, DJ caught it.

This team is such a joke.

This QB class is garbage. Roll with Cam, keep Darnold as the backup (doubt any takers in a trade) and keep Morgan as a project QB. Let PJ test FA. I doubt there will be any takers, so we could always sign him back if needed. See what the 2023 draft holds for QBs, because this ain't the year to waste a draft pick, one of the few we have remaining, on some scrub out of perceived desperation.

A close game, but if we do lose, this coaching staff is toast. The front office has done everything possible to make this team a contender this year from a personnel standpoint. A loss today has to put this coaching staff on the hot seat.

Named as an Outland Trophy finalist: ONE sack yielded in 755 pass blocking snaps. OL STUD!

Yep, they are not mutually exclusive. Both can be bad at the same time. Our offense couldn't move the chains consistently and our defense couldn't get off the field particularly on 3rd and 4th downs as you mentioned.

Our OL gave up 7 pressures according to this, just yielding 1 sack. That's not bad, not bad at all given our OL history.

1 sack. The OL did as well in pass-pro as could be expected.

We can afford one, just 1 more loss. After that, as mentioned, we are on the losing end of most of the tie breaker scenarios based off head-to-head games. I can't see us sweeping TB or beating Buffalo. There's at least two losses in those 3 games.

No, but I heard the fat lady was practicing her scales.

Early yes, but I'm not sure the results are going to be drastically different down the road. At best Rhule will have us as a middling team in the NFC and even may see a playoff season or two. Perennial playoff participants and serious Super Bowl contenders? Nah, I don't see that happening under his watch.

Before him was Bill Walsh and that move was in the 1970's. This was the very reason I was NOT in favor of Rhule. History was not on his side. This topic was debated heavily during the coaching search and while most of the Huddle was dead set on not getting another NFL 're-tread" those of us that was against a college coach pointed straight to this fact. Saban and Spurrier were flops in the NFL, but could do no wrong in college. Rhule turned sorry teams into respectable programs, but by no means juggernauts.

I've got Miami, Atlanta and NO, that's it. Now knowing us we will lose one of these and pull an upset versus TB or the Bills. Any way you slice it though, I can't get us another 4 wins. Yesterday was about as much of a lock of a win as there could have been. We pissed it away.

The stats don't lie. We were 2-9 on 3rd down and 1-3 on 4th down. Combined 3-12, for a conversion rate 0f 25%. Penalties? Ron's team had 1 MORE than we did and we had 1 MORE than them converting a first down due to penalty. They had the only turnover so we had the only extra drive of the game. You've dug your trench, that's cool...I'm moving on.

For all the praise D-Jax has got lately, he looked like garbage yesterday. Pssst....Donte, you get paid first and then you act like you don't care. You still have six games left, man.

3rd downs actually WERE a problem though. The rub I put on Brady/Rhule is PJ knows the entire playbook and while Cam played well, you don't need your hands tied on the money down. Having limited play calls on 3rd down is a bad spot to be in. Again, I'm not sure the mixture of Cam/PJ, but it was too early for Cam to play 100% of the snaps. I would have waited at least another week before making that move. Agreed the defensive side was lacking yesterday, but it's also true we needed our offense to sustain drives just like they did to us and that can't happen without converting 3rd downs.

Cam did look good, but the staff should not have let him play all game. They should have mixed in PJ to keep Washington guessing. Ron knows Cam 100% and the entire game plan was tailored to Cam's strengths with only 1 full week as the starter, which played right into Ron's hands. That's on our coaching staff.

Agreed we take the best OL regardless of position. Chances are some other OL besides an OT will be there when we pick.

I remember talking up Chinn and everyone was riding Simmon's/Clemson's jock. "Who is this this FCS Illinois State no-name kid?" "You can't go against the Blue-Blood Clemson guy." Blah, Blah, blah. We made the right damn choice x 2. Brown over Simmons and Chinn to fill that void a round later. And for those still saying the 2021 draft was better than the 2020 drafts is smoking some dank-arse Jamcaican weed. PASS IT!
