I chuckled at this Erik McCoy quote from a NOF Article

ELLIASJWILLIAMS said
I'm not here for it and tired of this argument. Before Sean Payton stumbled on Dennis Allen and Gregg Williams he had Gary Gibbs and Rob Ryan. Under the latter two, the defenses were meh or meh and unstructured. Bringing in the former resulted in better designed defenses as well as overall better play and accountability. In other words, Allen is no different than Payton in that he's a one side of the field coach that needs the other coach to instill the culture on that particular sideo f the ball so he can control HIS side of the ball. Winning does the rest and pulls the team itself together.

It was a Pete thing because the defense didn't have accountability issues. Even the entire article is about the offensive side of the ball, stop letting your disdain for Allen show in every post.

Then we should've been winning right?

Lemme clarify that a little apparently. If the OC isn't holding players accountable when mistakes are made...shouldn't the HC step in? And if he's unable to identify issues on offense, maybe he shouldn't be a HC.

Try to minimize CSP all you want, but even at our worst defensively he demanded accountability from BOTH sides of the ball.

And even on the off chance that DA isn't or wasn't the problem, then that means that we should've still been winning on a regular clip the past 2 seasons....right?
