Baker when asked what he has been doing to correct batted passes "If you have a drill for me you can let me know!."

Because he answers these dumb questions the way he should? Look baker stinks but telling a reporter to go fug himself makes me like him more 

Now imagine Cam responded that way….ohhhhh weee lord. Two americas.

I thought people liked his competitive fire?  That privilege!  

Race matters aside, something is really off with Baker and this offense.  No one wants to say it because "we're a team" but the reality is that the game plan sucks.  John Ellis (@ellis) did a nice job breaking down the struggles this year compared to Baker's previous years in Cleveland.  He's having over 10% of his passes batted down.  His worst year in Cleveland it was under 4%.  John also makes a great point about height when looking at the batted passes from Josh Allen and Justin Herbert, who are very tall QBs.

So the reality is that there is a MASSIVE game planning/coaching issue going on.  Teams have picked up on this offenses tendencies which is leading to these batted balls.  If you can't get home, just hold up and play volleyball.  That's on Ben McAdoo.  They need to get smarter.

Is Baker completely at fault?  No.  He's doing what he's coached to do, and having to take the heat for it.  I'd be pretty pissed if I had to spew the company line, knowing full well that my career is the one going in the toilet.

Baker does need to take responsibility for his play, absolutely.  He needs to make adjustments at the line, he needs to hit guys accurately.  He needs to find his throwing lanes.  

It's not as simple as fire a coach, bench a player.  It's a lot of everything.  That's why they all make millions of dollars.  If they fail, then at least  they have that nice cushion of cash.

My guess is he is more likely to get a drill to solve this problem from the reporter that asked the question than from the coaching staff.

I get it but some of it is on the OL. Body blows bring the hands down. If guys are going to get their hands up, bury them. Finish a fuging block and get their hands down. 

This. Football is a chess match. Your opponents counter your strategies, and in response, you need to be smart enough to counter their counters. Opposing defenses have found that disengaging their D-Linemen and clogging the throwing lanes is effective against our passing offense. What's surprising is that in 4 games we haven't found a way to exploit defenders standing up and waiting to bat balls down.

This franchise is a dumpster fire since Tepp and it’s damn sad.
