Slow learners in the coaching room.

It’s a good thing we are playing another terrible team today.

So there's a team that got it's QB knocked out and is stuck on field goals - and it's not us? Must be opposite day!

I feel like if the NFL were to change the playoff format, give two byes for each conference again making a 12 team playoff, and create a consolation playoff for teams 13-24, we could be as competitive as any team in that latter bracket. Dennis Allen is right at home playing competitively with teams like the Giants, Packers, Falcons, Bucs, Vikings, Texans, Colts, etc. You never know who will win. Of course, if you want to be competitive in the real playoffs, you have to usually beat such teams.

We have the kind of defense that was built to be dominant against offensive lines like the Giants and Panthers have. Unfortunately, the best teams don't have those lines.

Our coaches are very slow to adapt. When they finally do, any hope is false, because when we face a good team they will do something we have to adapt to in that game. When they do, we won't have 13 weeks to react. We might have make the playoffs last year if the coaches realized that Peat at LT and Hurst at LG worked better than the reverse, but that took them like 20+ weeks to figure out, because their plan is always to just stick with the plan so the old men can play golf and drink light beer not stress changes. When their jobs are on the line our coaches can wake up for a couple of games, put down the pickleball paddle, save Matlock on their tivos, and make some adjustments. But they are not young and hungry or very driven and won't keep up the effort long term.

We do control our own destiny to make the playoffs. Unfortunately if we make the playoffs we will likely face Dallas or Philly in the first round. Saying we control our own destiny in that is like saying that UNO controls their own destiny if they make it to March Madness as a 16 seed and face Duke.
