What the hell are you talking about?

People just make up sheet they think is true and then post it. DA isn't Loomis' yes man, he's a bad football coach. It has nothing to do with Loomis controlling him.

Our depth is bad due to bad drafts and that is the fault of the scouting staff and Ireland. But frankly, that has gotten better the last year or so and it's not really so much that we don't have depth, it's that the coaching is bad and the depth we have are not prepared to play.

There's a lot more wrong with this team than the head coach and I know you're naive enough to think Allen is making front office decisions.

Loomis decides who we draft, who we sign and contracts. Scouting staff and Ireland do the leg work and have a lot of input later in the draft and UDFA but the buck stops at Loomis.

We could have signed a lot of depth with the $45 million in dead cap we're carrying this year. Hell we could have signed a legit starting guard and then some. Instead we we're forced to go bargain shopping for Patrick with nothing but disappointing low round draft picks backing him up. We couldn't even sign a tackle with starting experience to compete with Penning during TC with the loser serves as a swing tackle. We're lucky as hell Penning was up to the challenge and that somehow our two tackles are the only men left standing on offense. Imagine how bad we'd be if we got last year's Penning as our defacto starting RT. There's simply not enough talent behind the starters to "coach up" much less compete at an NFL level.

Please fire Allen but let's take a second and actually acknowledge that they're coming in handicapped and until our other problems are solved, we shouldn't expect an instant turn around.
