Completely understand what you are saying. In my defense I've never been that big of a fan of the job he has done. I hate the trading of draft picks and the signing of kick-the-can-down-the-road-contracts...

But they were winning with it so I try to keep my mouth shut as much as possible. All of that crap finally caught up with us. If you gave me the choice of Allen gone or Loomis gone I'd probably pick the latter. Personally, I'm in the "if you can't find someone better you probably shouldn't be here" camp.

I'm guessing I would have been excited for a change if Allen was gone, but I can't say it was a bad decision to keep him around and see what happens with a healthy team. I need a change at OC and I need some kind of serious plan to fix the QB position. If we are in this same position this time next year it is going to be undefendable.

I see it differently but I think that's a reasonable take.

I agree there's a lot of risk to the approach that Loomis has taken but the results were a team that got within a bad call from playing in a second Super Bowl and kept the team competitive through the end of Drew's career. Stings when you don't get the payoff you were hoping for, but I can appreciate the effort. I've also had the impression, perhaps incorrectly, that a lot of what transpired was at the direction of Payton, and now Allen, and Loomis is primarily the one to try and deliver.

I do think they have to work towards restoring some balance and it sounds like that's something they are focusing on, but I won't blame him for trying and I appreciate an ownership that has been willing to go all-in.
