Team can’t overcome bad coaching
We don’t know the dynamics going on with the offense. I wonder if Allen is starting to try to control the offense and is having too much input into the play selection. Something smells there.
But back to players and such. Yes, I know the team is beat up. But the play is sloppy and undisciplined. Look at the penalties. Look closely at the routes. The whole thing lacks structure, discipline and accountability. It’s not Payton’s smart team anymore. Say what you wanted Payton’s teams rarely got beat boy players doing stupid things. Maybe a headscratching play from Payton every so often, but the players played as well as they could and many times over their abilities. Allen is exactly the opposite and it’s only becoming more ingrained as time goes on. His HC in Oakland same way. Penalty prone and mistake filled. So while the players are making mistakes it goes back to coaching. Which goes to Allen as he sets the tone and structure.
