Per Nick Underhill: Dennis Allen spoke extensively about the red zone issues. Says it’s a combination of play calls, execution and coaching

I'm rationalizing but you still can't come to grips with Carr's deficiencies? I harped on Derek Carr in the red zone all offseason and yall took it as me advocating for Winston, when in fact, Derek Carr is really just that bad in the red zone. I want the man to succeed and stated that but dang, every red flag that we are seeing with Carr now was there for 9 seasons of film and if local "mainstream" media actually discussed that instead of the Airline directed sunshine pumping, maybe the conversations could have been more civil and all of us would have realized that bringing Carr in wasn't going to fix any of the issues, no matter what the media and DA was telling us. Our view of Carr is based totally on perception because if people watched the games/films like they said, nothing that we see should be new to us. Being in Sneaky Pete's trash offense just exacerbates it.

I still have us pegged at winning 10 games but outside of hitting our stride or a miracle, don't see a deep playoff run.
I find this stance ultimately redundant in a league where Goff, Flacco, Stafford, and Cousins can excell and have 13 win campaigns for their clubs. You need better coaching first and foremost.

You don't need elite play at QB to have success or carry a bad playcaller. Medicore QBs get hot all the time.
