Pipe Dream Talk: What if We Get Aiyuk and Simmons?

What if Kubiak is so much better than we think with the offense, and Allen can go back more into defensive coordinator mode ? I’m not banking on that, but it’s possible.

I mean... I think Kubiak can be a better play caller and more effective OC in general than Pete was... My issue is... Most games will come down to a half-dozen plays or so... most NFL games are typically that tight.... and one bad decision can lead to landslide momentum swings... Allen will still be making those decisions... Do we punt on 4th and 1 up two points from the 45? Do we not challenge that obvious call because we are "saving it"? Do we run clock on 2nd and 10 before the half when the other team still has a TO? Do we sit an important player with a minor injury in a must win situation? Do we opt for a long FG or do we trust our QB and new OC?

These are just some examples of why I am doubtful of any real improvements to this team while Allen is HC... Even the best ship with the best crew is basically adrift without a competent Captain.
