Great job on ignoring the many aspects of my original post that you got completely wrong and pretending like you never said them.
Since you still can't seem to read my post, I will remind you that the first thing I said is we will never really know the truth. I am admitting that it's quite possible that this was ML's decision because I have no way of knowing.
But you are doing some crazy mental gymnastics if think there is no way to infer that ML was keen on keeping Allen at least until the end of the season Everything he has said leading up to this point has inferred that he would prefer to keep him. Remember we need to look beyond the results. I don't have to infer anything Loomis said it himself.
Did you just miss the part in my post where I clearly said that it's quite possible that ML would have still fired Allen at the end of the season if Ms. B had not taken action. I never said that Allen was immune from blame, and that his job was safe. I just said I don't think if it was 100% ML's choice he would have fired him now, I think he would have rather waited till the end of the season, see how things played out and then made the choice.
Clearly the injuries have had an affect on the team, no one is stupid enough to think other wise. but consider this.
We lost the Philly game when we where still pretty healthy, had the lead with under 2 minutes and blew it.
We lost the Atlanta game when we where still pretty healthy, had the lead with under 1 minute and blew it.
We where never beating the Chiefs, this team has always played poorly against true playoff caliber teams.
Please for the love of god don't blame that Panthers game on injuries, by every metric in football we should have won.
That's already 4 loses that have way less to do with injuries and way more to do with coaching/mental errors and poor player performance. The reality is the injuries did happen and any rewriting of history is just conjuncture that's simply not based on facts.
