As bad as Darnold and the O line have been, coaching is clearly this teams biggest issue.

I was telling a friend this earlier...  this situation feels even more hopeless than the 1-15 season and the Pickles year because the further back you pull the scope on this team, especially offense, the more you see another problem that lies at the coaching staff's feet, and it's clear they don't know how to fix it.  

Is Sam bad?  Absolutely.  Complete ass.  Is the line bad?  Oh yeah, possibly worse than Sam, and thats hard to do.  But, many teams throughout history have had to scheme around deficiencies - in fact, we've played some the last 3 weeks, and all 3 of them outcoached and outschemed our staff.  Rivera and his staff were no strategists, but they schemed an offense all the way to a Superbowl despite having no receivers or OL, and an underwhelming RB unit.  The NYG literally were down to almost all backups on the OL, their starting RB and top WRs were out, and fielded a defense that gave up 38 points the week before, and despite all of that, they came out and executed a flawless gameplan and whooped our ass.  No line?  No problem...  they kept us guessing pass or run.  If it's a pass, they got it out quick with slants and smoke screens to neutralize the rush.  If it's a run, they varied the calls from outside zones, to powers, to inside zones, and then if we got too comfortable with that, they ran the read option with Jones so the run defense couldn't get too aggressive upfield.  Thry kept us off balance, and one llay felt like it was setting up the next, and then they got into a rhythm.  The Eagles did the same thing.  Vikings too.  And Joe Brady and Rhule are just sitting there with their thumb up their asses saying, "we have to figure it out."  

No, it should have already been figured out.  I said in the preseason that rotating guys all over the OL instead of just playing guys at one spot and letting them get comfortable was going to bite us in the ass...  and here we are.  All because of that bullshit ass college poo he brought in here.  And then to make things worse, Brady has no fuging clue how to scheme around it, yet he's getting an in-person lesson every fuging week.  

So like I said, this is about as hopeless and as dire as I can remember it being because never before were we able to look at the staff and say they are the ultimate reason this is happening because they are completely inept and are in over their heads despite any areas of personnel weakness.  Now we can.
