Dennis Allen: It’s time for the growing pains to “be done with” on offense. (No coaching changes) (1 Viewer)

The Eagles are always in an arms race with the Cowboys.
In the NFCS, it’s so easy to go neutral.

But the Cowgirls haven't been to a conference championship in decades. How is that an arms race? Since the Reid years, they have been to the bowl twice with one ring. We used to want it all now average is okay.

For all the Cowboys jokes, they’ve always been competitive and that has allowed Philadelphia to not fall asleep at the wheel.
Compared to the NFCS where 8 or 9 wins is gonna win the division.

8-9 wins hasn’t always won the NFC South

8-9 wins hasn’t always won the NFC South

For now and probably next year, it will.

I remember the NFC LEast was terrible for awhile as well. Similar to the NFC South now

In our prime the first objective was to win the division, then get home-field advantage for the playoffs. 8-9 wins was never the goal. Why is that acceptable now?

 

[English]

I don’t get your argument that because the NFC South is down as of late is a good reason for the Saints to be non aggressive and milk toast the last few years . You should always be trying to be the best.
Are you saying that Loomis saw Brady leaving Tampa and said to himself Imma check out awhile ?

The Martin Wine Cellar Question of the Day was so on point.

“How drunk will you have to be to watch another Saints game this season?”

Here’s the problem that I have with this. There was a point in my career where I was promoted into a very advanced role before I was ready - I can admit that. I struggled off the bat in almost every facet of my role. After about a month of trying to “figure it out”, I started calling former coworkers and supervisors and asking for guidance and advice. I studied, I listened to sound advice, and I changed the things that I needed to in order to improve the performance of my employees and myself. We gradually improved and ultimately things worked out very well.

Why don’t some coaches like DA and others who are clearly in over their heads do the same? Are they not allowed to consult with former coaches - I know they are. Can they not look at other teams’ film and try to copy plays - we have the athletes on offense to run a lot of the plays that these successful offenses run. Tweak some things, make some changes here and there in the X’s and O’s, throw some wrinkles not named Taysom in the playbook, something.

I just don’t understand not trying to do everything you can to improve. Ok so you don’t think you have answers - seek help then. We have the players, and our coaching staff with all their flaws are not idiots - it’s mind-boggling.

Perhaps it’s a pride thing. If that’s it then they deserve to lie in the bed they made

So the solution is to say “it’s time”. Whatever. We have chosen to tank, intentional or not.

The bad thing is that we won't tank hard enough to get a top 5 pick. We'll do juuuuussssstttttt enough to get in that 13 to 15 pick range.

Honestly, who cares what Allen says at this point? None of it matters, anyway.

The look on his face Thursday when his offense was inept and his defense was folding told me all I needed to know about him - he’s way in over his head and he has no instinct available to get him out.

If it was me - I’d go scorched earth on the offense and change ANYTHiNg I could to generate a spark of some kind.

Instead - he lays out generic coaching platitudes like all coaches who are in over their heads often do.

Oh well. It is what it is.

Maybe....just maybe, Curry doesnt call for 4 verts, 3 times in a row inside the 20

maybe, just maybe, Curry calls more plays to expose middle of field instead of living on the sidelines.

Our play design leaves a lot to be desired, absolutely. But calling plays that break your tendency works. Even if its an existing play- one that the D was not particularly expecting based on film study/tendencies.

Do some of you automatically take every film study done by anyone as gospel? Because quite a few of them are wrong and are designed to be as negative as possible to get subscribers or clicks SMH

The team stinks so bad itscause hell to break loose in the wetlands

 

[perret318]

Everybody wants to see both DA and Pete fired. But I don't. One thing that's a given with DA is that the defense will be top 10 if not better, and he's been consistent at that. It's not unlike Payton having a good offense and a bad defense in those 7-9 years except that DA doesn't have a HOF QB.

Which is exactly why DA should be a defensive coordinator, NOT a head coach.

 

[DSnfla]

Serious question. Is it possible that Dennis Allen is being handcuffed by Loomis and the front office in terms of what he's allowed to do with the team? Could he really replace Carmichael without Loomis agreeing to it? I'm just playing Devil's advocate here.

Does not make sense, DA was allowed to bring all kinds of position coaches . Pretty sure ML gave him carte blanche with coaching staff
