Unpopular opinion but this is more on roster than coaching. The oline is poor and has no depth. The offense has 2 receivers, 1 rb, a 34 year old wildcard who has to be TE1, RB2, WR3 but cant hold up to the punishment. We have an offense built for mauling weapons with only one mauler. Meanwhile on defense some of our best players are our oldest, as are some of our worst. Cam Jordan is being paid $14 million for 17 celebrity appearances like Garth Brooks at spring training. I dont think Andy Reid, Kyle Shannhan, or Sean McVay could do much more with this roster. For years we did Tinder drafting where we swiped right on the edge rusher who looked the part and were done for the night. Now its costing us in depth.

I think we have a good DC, a good OC, a decent QB. But we lose in the trenches and we hired a mauling OC to run an offense with finesse personnel and no money to retool. The fact that we have 2 wins and 2 close losses against playoff caiber teams is actually impressive on coaching. But the injury situation wont improve with this older softer roster picking fist fights.

tackling sucked big time....

I really don't know where to point the finger. I'm still processing this; it was a weird game. A thought comes to mind that has been coming to my mind a lot over the last few years, though... Allen is a great by-the-book coach. He knows all his Ps and Qs(the technical stuff). Still, I feel as though he lacks creative spark. He also lacks the ability to inspire. He'll always be a good coordinator in this league; I'm just not sure he's made to be a HC.

That's really the only thing I have to offer right now.

Listening to the game on Sirius, I can only base my takes from Deuce’s call of the game. Aside from the injuries, it sounded as though we were sloppy, especially on D, in tackling, in coverage, yaddee yaddee. Turnovers obviously sucked but we just weren’t very good in just about every facet today.

We need a new Head Coach.

I concur.... When Allen's old man was displayed and discussed on the tube, i gathered a more respectful opinion of the son; thinking he should know football. Well... that thought went to the crapper, much like this game did.
