Nah. The real problem is that they we were just one year into Klint Kubiaks system. A system that required a completely different type of Oline man. If we were in year three of KKs system we would’ve had three full drafts to fortify our roster, especially the o line. I agree that we are top heavy like every NFL team, but we are more top heavy due to the new system. I had said many times that Kks system chews up Olineman and RBs. And it sure did. We simply didn’t t have the Oline depth, especially at center, a position that we didn’t have a single backup penciled in.I don’t buy into the injuries excuse. It’s cool to say it, as a coping mechanism, but 4 out of the top 10 teams that lost the most points due to injuries, made the playoffs (Lions, Bucs, Steelers, and Texans). The main thing, when deciding if a team is good or not, is the depth chart. If your depth chart is underwhelming, then you are not a good team…….you are just a top heavy team. If you can’t build a competent roster, where guys can fill in, due to injuries, then you are lacking at assembling a roster. Good/great teams overcome obstacles. However, if I were to play the “injuries” game, then I would say we were going to be nothing more than an average team bc that was the ceiling that coach showed was his best. I only go by what facts have presented
That decision by DA was his nail in the coffin. Who goes into a season without a backup qb on the roster?It was DA’s decision to not sign a seasoned veteran QB as a backup. Many teams make sure they have a veteran backup. We didn’t have to roll with Jazzy J and Rattler. Could’ve just kept one.
The Dc / HC was fired. The d took a nosedive afterwards.Defense didn’t have that many injuries and couldn’t tackle to save their lives.
One offseason wasn’t enough time to fortify Klint Kubiaks system. For that system to work, you need to be two D at every OLine position. And the third string must be able to play multiple positions.Allen was a terrible head coach, and I don't think that's a subject of debate at this point. The injury claim is just lame, but it does point to a lack of depth and weaknesses with FO. All teams deal with injuries, but good coaches can keep things stable or cover up deficiencies until they face a superior team. The Lions did this for half their season, and the Rams gave Philly their closest game after battling injuries through the year.
