  1. There is no way that the Head Ball Coach gets fired anytime soon!

     

    Personally, I think there is truth in the sentiment that our D fails us against offensively capable teams in tight contests.  There is a capability gap that exists somewhere between the defensive concept that we play and quality of athletes that we have to make negative plays like sacks, tackles for loss, and general chaos.  I don’t know what the answer is but they need to figure it out if they want to get to and win a Super Bowl.  
     

    The last thing I’ll say is that we are all assuming that everything will be the same on offense since we have Josh.  That’s a nice thought, but I personally fear the transition to a new OC.  Things are going to change and it might not be what you think it is.  We’re assuming!

    I will be curious to see the demeanor of this team (esp the offense) on the field. In the last AFCCG, they just seemed shell shocked. Even in week 5, you could tell the offense was frazzled— they hit on some big plays, but just didn’t seem to be in sync. 
     

    i am hoping that they will have that calm and surgical way about them this week. 

    Same here.  I want them to be all business!  No excuses, no slow starts, no “we’ll just turn it on”.  Just straight up butt whooping time.

  3. Here’s a copy of the email I received as a subscriber:

    So, will Daboll have them come out throwing on every down again until McD sets him straight?

     

     


    In hindsight, I think they should’ve used the money they spent on Sanders and Breida to bring Roberts back as the returner.

    I was thinking the same thing about Roberts.  Knowing what we know now, money we’ll spent.

  5. I think this all goes back to forcing our guys to hold that Sabres sign as a marketing gimmick.  
     

    I also think that they’ve approached this season with the wrong mindset.  They bought into the hype about themselves and absolutely got punched in the face Week 1 by sleep walking into that game.  While the coaching may be suspect I think the players think that they can just turn it on and off.  The reality is they can’t. It’s in their heads.  It’s in their preparation.  It’s in their execution.  I don’t know why but I think that’s the problem.

  6. The sentiment that we should fire the head ball coach is ridiculous.  
     

    I think a strategic shift in our offensive system is required.    We have no clear offensive identity.  We can’t run the ball effectively and have no balance.  I think a Shanahan style offense needs to be installed.  Run to set up play action and bootleg.
