2-2 is better than I expected before the season started...but having said that, we should be 4-0 right now.

Yes, they did chose to get inferior players because thats all they could afford by their own cap strategy. They could only cheap out after multiple seasons on the oline being an issue. They boned up the last few years draft when going oline and dline and missing, or drafting a center a years after drafting a center. Going for freakish athleticism that doesn’t translate into production.Yes, I'm sure they "chose" not to get quality depth, opting instead to go with inferior players.
I mean, do some of you even read what you type before posting? Smh.
And no, it does not fall entirely on the coach to take the fall for everything. Decisions? Sure. Bone-headed mistakes? Uh, no.
Personally, I love Shaheed. I think he's a good guy with high character, which is my kind of player. But he's also a paid professional and should be held accountable when he makes a bad play like he did (and for the record, he probably did in the locker room). Ditto for Adebo for the PI call.
I don't have any loyalty to Allen or any other coach, but I tend to look things objectively.I can’t get my head around this take and the loyalty some of our fans have towards DA at this point. He’s head coach of this team and is therefore responsible for all of it. We’re in year 3 now, the same ridiculous mistakes are happening and the same close games are being lost in the same fashion.
It’s gone on for more than long enough now to be a reflection on him as a HC. He is what his record says he is, not very good. We’re well on our way to 8 or 9 wins, just missing out on the playoffs again and fans telling themselves we’ll get there next year because we were just a few stupid mistakes and close losses away. If/when that happens it’s time to close the book on this era of mediocrity and start again with a new HC/QB pairing. I really hope to be proven wrong by DA.
Poorly coached teams make mistakes and commit penalties that cost them close games. They also can't adjust to injuries. Just saying.
And you could say the same thing about the other 31 teams except for a play here and there they could be better or worse than their current record. I’m sure he (Shaheed) knew better but made a stupid mistake and then how do you blame DA for a great defensive play by tipping his pass? Those two plays you cannot blame on DA but some of you will blame the middle east crisis on him too. lolThey are an undisciplined, sloppy team.
In other words, a DA team. If Shaheed lets the punt go into the endzone, we win that game.
While I agree all teams have injuries, not all injuries are the same and they don’t impact all teams equally. Losing McCoy hurts a lot more than losing say Young. If you don't have depth at the position of injury, things get a lot more difficult in a hurry. Injuries matter, and hurts some teams more than others.We're right on track to finish, just as we have since Allen got here. There are no moral victories in the NFL, and division games are usually tight. All teams have to deal with injuries, but the elite teams find a way to win while their stars are out.
