Losing faith in Rod. It always seemed to me we were riding talent a little more than coaching. The same mistakes happening in the playoffs over and over. That is on coaching. Now our plug and play system is no longer working and we may miss the playoffs. His seat should be hot if that happens.

I still have faith in Rod tha Bod... but he's gonna have to make some changes to his coaching staff. The PP is unacceptable and has been for a long time. I don't know who is responsible for special teams, but maybe start with them.

Brind'Amour seems to have a complete blind spot when it comes to the goalie position. Given the choice, he will pick the wrong goalie at least 7/10 times. It feels to me, as a dumbass fan, that our goalies are well coached. We don't have the best development program, but we seem to get the most out of the talent we have at the position.

Some of this mess falls on Wadell, too. I think he bought into the "plug and play" ability of our system as much as Rod. We have let a lot of talent walk out the door over the past 2 offseasons, and most of their replacements have proven inadequate or walked out the door themselves.

Overall, both men are among the top 5 in the world at their respective jobs. This season feels like they have rested on their laurels a bit. But, we are still in 2nd place in our division despite going 0fer our last 5.

NGL tho, if I was Dundon, and heard Rod tell a reporter postgame, "No, we don't need to change the way we play. We can't change the way we play. When you do that, that's how you lose games," I might've rage fired him on the spot...

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
