Didn't have this many "come to Jesus" moments under Payton

Yes. Of course you are correct, but NFL teams never just fire a coordinator in the middle of the season and bring in some old, but “popular to some fans,” has-been at that point. It’s too late to do any scheme changes and it will make it more likely you double down on your problems.

Ultimately (and I think this is how most GMs would see it), DA is going to have to figure the rest of this season out on his own. After last year’s failures, he and Mickey decided Pete was still our guy, our offensive philosophy was solid, and that adding Carr, getting MT back, and having better health would make us the playoff team they promised we still were last year. Obviously, they seem to have been wrong.

As such, it is sink or swim time for the people whose vision we are currently experiencing.

I like to believe Loomis is a very smart guy who is fully aware of the issues on offense and that PC is in way over his head.

He gave what is usually the classic GM "public show of support that is really the kiss of death" statement.

Carmichael followed it up with a bafflingly bad offensive performance.

Another bad performance tomorrow night that results in fans leaving early and a lot boos and I expect Friday morning the first thing we'll hear is PC removed from playcalling duties.

The NFL is like the mob. You can do a lot of things and get away with it, but don't EVER mess with the money.
