Joe Brady is a concern.

He has a fantastic play book. He just is clueless on when to call them. 

This is the part that is crazy to me. At LSU, he was the master at calling the right play at the right time and was the red zone specialist. Hopefully he'll find his groove, but the clock is ticking. 

Also to note, he was not the play caller at LSU and only made situational calls there. Maybe he needs some assistance?

Not his fault we fumbled in the red zone on one of those drives. At LSU he only called red zone plays from what I remember.

That's even more alarming, to be quite honest.

Its week 1. I don't think we showed everything. We played a very conservative game today. I think we open things up next week against a divisional foe.

Playing not to lose. The Prevent Offense.

I wouldn't even call it that. Just imbalance and calling the wrong plays. Like Zod said awesome playbook but poo play calling.

He was our offensive coordinator last year too.  If this was year 1, I would feel differently.  He has not changed much.

Exactly, agree 100%. He has a year under his belt, but still looks bad there.

I love arm chair coordinators. Every team needs them.

Doesn't take an NFL guru to see what went wrong in this game.

3rd downs and the inability to get in the end zone 2 years in a row is definitely a coaching issue.

Don't forget that once you get in the redzone you run never pass it into the endzone. You just run the ball. Also taking shots in the endzone is illegal, you have to get right up on the goal line before your can ever attempt to score.

Darnold threw for almost 300 yards and didn’t turn it over in the air. We didn’t hand it off to a fullback on 4th down. The ball was pushed downfield throughout the game. The TEs got some love today. CMac didn’t carry the team on his back like 2018. 
 

I guess some people are going to complain no matter what. 

CMC didn't carry the team on his back? How many total yards did he have? How many total team yards? I'd say his back is a bit sore after this game.

Did you miss the rest of the game?

Joe Brady reminded me of Dan Henning today. Rhule’s game management was some Ron Rivera chit as well. Hats off to Phil Snow on excellent coaching.

I watched the entire game. I only said he was off the hook for the fumble. That wasn't his fault.

He didn't call plays at LSU.  Let's get that cleared up right now.  He was just the passing game coordinator or some poo.
