A Coach HAS to be the next casualty

Aah! Reaction time

It may be just a scapegoat at the moment but this game was on the coaches and someone needs to go.  The bad thing--This organization does not have the gall to make it Shula (yet)  

@KB_fan or a stat junkie needs to somehow find out rankings for teams when they are leading because we flee the second we get one, it's been like this since Ron took over.  Something like an opponent's scoring % after an own score.  I guarantee we are in the bottom-5 the last 4+ years running in that category.  Even when our D plays a great game (for 90% of it) this still happens.  

As much as a gambler he projected himself to be, we deflate as a team when we should gain freaking momentum.  Ron and Mike have not learned and it's year 5 with these two as HC-OC.  I'm done.  6 with Ron.  We have no ability to capitalize on momentum and only did last year bc of Cam and the defensive turnovers.  

I understand DA played awful and we were missing a whole lot but honest--the OL was formidable, the RBs great, and Olsen was unstoppable minus the drop, and the safeties rebounded.  

The culture they care so much about has melted away and teams like the Vikings and Raiders clearly got the itch we had last season.  You can visibly see how upset Luke, TD, Shaq, and Fozzy have become and they seem to be the only ones giving a f*ck.  

Undisciplined and uninspired football falls on coaching.  They need to start falling on their own swords.  I'm not waiting for a turnaround, these are things that they should have learned and not resurface annually.  

Final note: Good teams don't let things fall apart before making big changes.  I hope we learned from Foxball.

I'm at the final straw with Ron.  I swear we've been a game or two away from firing him twice in his career.  

I'd give Ron an ultimatum by the end of quarter 2 in the season.  If this continues after Cam returns, fire Shula, then Ron.  Promote Wilks to HC (the true heart of the coaching staff IMO) and promote Dorsey/Proehl/someone who gives a f*ck.

I don't want to win 5 meaningless games at the end of the season to save him this year.

Exactly.  We're not at the juncture of his tenure where this is acceptable.  We are defining a SB hangover to a tee and then some.

That doesn't sound too bad. Our scheme isn't whats bad. It the coaches coaching the scheme. Right now we have poor scheme coaches at the helm. We need the good ones. Nothing drastic. Just ones that are actually competent and know what the hell they're doing.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
