Yobogoya!

The worst coaches try and shoe-horn a player into their vision, their scheme, or their preference. The best coaches take what a player does well and maximize it to the utmost potential. When I watch this team, most of what I see is the latter. And not just regarding Josh.

I mean there has to be a coach who can find a happy medium between running Josh headfirst into danger and calling the same shotgun draw that doesn't work multiple times a game. But yeah, coaching "the dawg" out of Allen honestly I think is a huge part of this team's regression. If you take the fire out of your team's heart and soul, you probably aren't getting very far off the remaining embers.

Maybe cuz we've already lost at least 2 of those 5 teams?

Yeah except for, you know, that the flag was already thrown. If it was "borderline," who saw something so concrete as to overrule the flag and say no foul there?

Why does "rigged" and "awful" have to be mutually exclusive?

Agreed. Considering the remaining schedule and the injuries we've already suffered, looks like we need more of a full reset year than anything. Maybe not a full roster rebuild, but we need to turn over and re-strengthen multiple positions next year.

Marty Schottenheimer incarnate.

QB’s on life support regularly spring back to life against this team. It’s amazing. We have an absolutely dominant point differential going back several years but if you’re a team trotting out a Mac Jones or Tyrod f’n Taylor you really don’t have to feel bad about your chances against us at all.

Any time McD takes a timeout to get “the right play” setup, nothing but embarrassment ever follows. It’s as assured as death and taxes.

We have no answers on defense for the elite QB’s like Zach Wilson, Trevor Lawrence and Mac Jones…

It was mostly one play that should have been called back, but it was also a play that smoked them multiple times this game…

This has to be Mac Jones’ only 4th qt comeback like… ever, right?

They just do what they want man. That’s all it is

No no never happened ssshhh

Old Man Poyer!

Geez this is ridiculous.

He’s turfed at least one and threw another into his center’s back, so at least two.

Felt very much like a pre-planned talking point they shoe-horned into the first opportunity they had to use it.

Yeah I don’t see any controversy about that one, but it’s become quite noticeable every time Josh gets a roughing flag announcers are mentioning him as playing it up to get one. Kind of annoying, really. Don’t see them doing the same for Mahomes or any other QB who looks for a flag after getting hit.

Cook has made magic out of nothing several times this game!

Problem is Pats have no reason to start forcing anything, they just need to putter along for another half picking up points wherever they can.

Even Bass is broke, the suck is contagious….

Hm.. what’s the opposite of blocking? Lol

In all seriousness, if there isn’t a huge turnaround in the next few games I think even McD will have to consider making a mid season change.

So, the new normal? Haha
