Stale

[SectionC3]

The title says it all.  We’re stale.  We shorten games on our own, despite the fact that our D is decimated by injury.  But we also can’t play fast, because our WRs are trash.  It’s no fun right now, and nothing is easy.   It’s the first time I’ve seriously thought we might need a HC change since McD arrived.  The fire and the joy just aren’t there.

We 100% need a fresh start at GM and Coach. We have for years.. Instead we fiddled around, happy that the drought was over and wasted Allen's best years

I said it in another thread but this team looks like a team that has had Super Bowl or bust expectations for years and come up short. It’s like they’re swimming against the tide this year. Nothing is easy. Everything is labored. 
 

How do you manage this team if you’re McD? What do you say to them? Put this one behind us men. One week at a time. Focus on how we play not our opponent. Whatever it is at this point I imagine it’s getting to be a harder sell.

In the NFL you need to re-invent yourself every season and every week. Not For Long. Other teams will know your tendencies, know your weaknesses, and exploit them.
 

McD & Beane are putting out the same schemes and signing the same players and we get the same result.

I was thinking about this early. As far as how much of this is just teams adapting to what we are trying to do. It seems like the way to beat this team historically was make them nickle and dime you. Get in your two high shell. Make Allen dink and dunk, make them run. Well, that is actually what we have become as an identity now.
 

With no downfield threat of any kind why are you going to stay in that shell? Who in gods earth wouldn’t press our WR’s right now and put another body in the box. You can’t just say “we don’t need to do something” in this league. That goes for when Dorsey refused to run and take the check down just as much as Brady/Beane refusing to develop a downfield passing game. I don’t know what is with this team and its inability to just develop both elements. The foundation has been there for years, but we just go all in on one or the other and refuse to be balanced.
