Victory Formation Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 We won't fire McDermott out of formality, although we should. Sooner we get a better coach to work with Allen the better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 That 3rd and 8 run near the end of the half should be enough to get Daboll fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweats Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Shady was doing his best impression of Reggie Bush all night. Ivory was actually doing good at running up the gut and moving the pile and yet, we were trying to fool the Pats with our wildcat?

oldmanfan Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 On the 3rd and 8 they were blitzing big time so not a terrible call. Looked like Shady had a hole where he could have made the yards. It's a very frustrating year. People go nuts over the QB situation but the only thing they should have done differently was bringing in a vet like Anderson when they traded McCarron. Bottom line is either they were going to have their rookie play this year and deal with his up and downs, or a backup type like Anderson that is a backup for a reason. Wouldn't be different if it was McCarron or whomever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time Brian Daboll was an NFL offensive coordinator was the 2012 Kansas City Chiefs. It was the only offense this decade to average fewer than 14 points per game (we're currently far worse at only 10.9 ppg). That 2-14 Chiefs team had Jamaal Charles at running back, Dwayne Bowe at wide receiver, 4 year starter Matt Cassel at QB, etc. Certainly enough talent to score every once in a while. The next season with mostly the same players (although with Alex Smith at QB) and Andy Reid calling plays, the Chiefs went 11-5, made the playoffs, and had one of the league's better offenses. Of course we need more talent on offense, no one would argue otherwise. But, 4.5 seasons with 4 different teams and there is simply no evidence that Daboll has any idea what he is doing as an offensive coordinator. I have no doubt he could do better with more talent, but so could the universe of other potential offensive coordinators. The real question is: could someone else do better with this exact same collection of players? I think the answer is "yes." https://arrowheadaddict.com/2018/01/15/brian-daboll-somehow-able-find-meaningful-nfl-work-2018/ 2 "Mahomes looks like an MVP because the Chiefs gave him the tools to be as exceptional as he can be. The coaching has been insanely creative. The playcalling has rolled the dice on a number of occasions. The Chiefs are playing as confidently as ever under Andy Reid because they truly believe they can win any game against anyone." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xwnyer Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Did you notice what Dabol play sheet looked like seemed like a piece of notebook paper with scribbles on it. The wildcat at start of game was clever but after catching Pats off balance on it once or twice he stuck with it. Plus has Shady EVER throw. The football? Did like flee flicker but defender played it perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Why is everything black or white around here? Daboll seems terrible to me, a real problem. So is our talent level! So are our quarterbacks! There's plenty of suck to go around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Missed opportunities. The play where DA fumbled the snap he had Zay Jones coming across the middle of the field on a Post. He was WIDE open for an easy TD. Croom thought he was going to make a one handed catch when he could have secured the ball with two. Benjamin had a couple of key drops. Penalties at the most ill timed moments. I don't put this one on Daboll. Outside of the ridiculous trick plays he went to one too many times the gameplan wasn't that bad. I think we should pound the rock with Ivory more and use Shady the same way the Pats use White for the rest of the year. The pass pro and QB play is just bad right now. It's something we will see for 8 more games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy's offense sucks and doesn't maximize the talent that they do have! As OC your job is to gain yards and score points in EVERY game like the rest of the league, or at the very least score points in SOME games. Not NO points in 7 games! Like I said, I should call the plays and Bills win this game easily! After the good ount return by Hyde, Daboll called max protect and went deep, and a WR was running wide open for a corner of the end zone touchdown. Anderson fumbled the snap and got sacked.

This is seriously a joke. 0-3 points at the half...Again...for who knows how many games. 6 points total. OC needs to go! Since week 1! Team had plenty of chances to make plays on D- 3 dropped picks, missed fumble recovery. Gotta make plays. Make a play. 1 play. 2 plays: 1) 3rd & 8 and you run it!??? You're not fooling anyone trying to outsmart the Defense. You pass it for the first down and go for the Touchdown! 2) Big pass play to Benjamin. Next play, you run wildcat for -5!??? Terribleee play calling. With the momentum of a big play- You pass it again across the middle! Go after them and score a TD! OC needs to go. I should call the plays and I'll take this team to the promised land! It's not the OC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have the greatest scheme in the history of the NFL but without the players scheme is almost worthless. The Patriots aren't doing it with scheme. Derek Anderson or NP as the Patriot's QBs wouldn't have the record Brady does. I saw Daboll trying to throw new wrinkles in but there are NO weapons. No oline, no decent qb, and no decent wide receivers. I hope this is sarcasm. There are multiple nobodies who started for them and had success. Their schemes are a big part of their success.
