This team is really bad

43 yards passing for Darnold. And half those yards came on his last pass.

That's bad. But good enough to beat us. Now THAT is bad.

At some point if the same players keep getting injured it isn't unlucky. Just poor roster management

It is 100% coaching.

Before anyone gets their knickers in a knot, I could care less about blame for a symptom, treating symptoms fixes nothing. Taking aspirin for a fever does nothing to treat the underlying condition causing the fever.

I view things in terms of accountability and who is responsible for the product that is put on the field. Penalties are not a problem, they are a symptom of the underlying problem of poor mental conditioning. Predictable play calling is not the problem, it is the symptom of a lack of football imagination. Inefficient personnel utilization is not the problem, it is a symptom of talent ignorance. You know how we are often reminded of how some players go to other teams and find greatness? That is a symptom of talent ignorance and not knowing how to use what you have.

Now, if we are not prepared emotionally or mentally to hold the coaches accountable for performance on the field, what are they needed for? Mrs. Benson can hire anyone off the street for a fraction of the compensation to hold a clipboard.

Before I click submit reply, the GM is responsible for the coaches and he needs to go as well. The Payton/Brees era was an alignment of stars so to speak, not a string of strategic decisions that Loomis can repeat (or he would have).
