Old guy take week 4

[multistage]

Well….

This game was rather telling, on several levels. The conclusions arrive at the same point.

1. Coaching staff requires melting. All of ‘em. I am no longer a believer in Brian Flores. No coach who has what it takes would put up with our first four games. To allow your O to get destroyed for three quarters only to light it up when it’s too late (second straight game) redefines unacceptable. I’m starting to believe Buffalo (showing AFC East camaraderie) took their foot off the gas a couple weeks ago.

2. We have the players to succeed on offense. The line (as always) could use some adjustments. But when the OCs remembered we have Unc and Mike, we moved the ball very quickly with efficiency. So I ask: where the ever living **** was that the first three quarters????

3. The D has the personnel to be very good. It does not have the coaching. Wilkins and a Phillips looked sharp.

4. Conclusion: this team will not succeed under the current coaching staff. I think we’re looking at a bunch of guys who are afraid to lose their jobs but will anyway.

You can’t play scared. They’re playing scared. Only when the game is nearly out of reach did they open it up. Then of course it is too late.

I think something stinks down there. Sigh, no, not just the play and coaches. These guys all KNOW they can move the ball. They’ve seen it and done it (albeit too late).

Jacoby Brissett airing it out to our two money targets, with a high level of effectiveness. But only when the game is irretrievably lost in the fourth quarter. How odd that we waited that long….

We have much bigger issues than anybody wearing the pads and colors. Our issues are quite a bit farther up the food chain.

PS: Currently watching Tannehill playing like a first round pick to keep his guys in the game….

Well said

 

[Heinegrabber]

CORRECT. There seems to be mental issues. Even when we had the lead last season we SAT on the ball. Playing scared is why SANDERS didn't get to boom a 50 yarder today. TEAMS spot us because we are allergic to 30 points.

The coaches are the biggest problem this year.
This team has talent. Letting those FAs leave took away the veteran presence and leadership, that the coaches didnt pocess apparently.

I'm not going to argue the coaches aren't *A*problem. But JB didn't look like an NFL QB. Even in 4Q, Cleo Lemon could throw against prevent.

Agree. I just don’t think this team has any heart anymore. The coaches are in survival mode, most of the players are as well….

I think the players are ok, but every coach we have is worthless. Doubt Flo has the locker room anymore…

There's too much talent on offense to be this bad. It's totally on the coaches and playcalling. Sure the O-line sucks, but there's no excuse to be this garbage with Parker, Gesicki, Waddle, Fuller, and even Wilson (if he was pre-injury Wilson). Other franchises would do wonders with them. I've seen other franchises put up points with bad O-lines before. Gaskin isn't a superstar RB, but 2 carries!?

It just seems like they are so afraid to lose. They have no sense of urgency or killer instinct. They'd rather check down than take shots. I'd rather throw 5 picks on 50/50 deep balls than just a long drawn out slow bleed to death offense.

It's absolutely ridiculous, and one of the main reasons I'm done with Flores. This is totally unacceptable.

Brissett should be selling used cars.

There's too much talent on offense to be this bad

Not sure I agree with this. The line doesn't look particularly talented to me, nor does the receiving corps look as explosive as was advertised.

 

[Lilseb561]

The O-line is trash, but there's plenty of firepower on offense to be better. They aren't utilizing them properly at all. It's more on coaching. I don't think they'd be a top 10 offense without a proper O-line and franchise QB, but it should be better than like the worst offense in the league.

 

[Dolph N.Fan]

Flores is coaching like he knows his seat is getting hot.

They were trying to waste time when they had the ball before the 2:00 warning and basically was already planning for Indianapolis to get the ball back because they had no faith the offense could get a 1st down. So after 2:00 warning, they proceed to throw two incomplete passes in a row?!?!? Why?!?! If you’re already conceding on giving the ball back to Indianapolis why not run the ball twice?

Why is Flores so scared to let Sanders kick
When in his range? Sanders was all pro last year, trust him!

When Flores was yanking Tua left and right out of games last year the reason was “we’re going with who gives us the best chance to win” well where is that this year? Under that same philosophy , Jackson should have been benched weeks ago, Grant should have been benched after his muff, Jacoby benched after his fumble, Coleman after last week, but whatever.

 

[FanMarino]

I see Waddle, Parker, Wilson, Fuller, Gesicki and Gaskin in my mind.
My eyes are seeing Shaheen, Symth, Ahmed and Brown. Those players were seeing the ball in the half. 2nd half was a joke. Grant. I think he knows he's gone. If he doesn't I will gladly taxi him to the nearest airport.

 

[The Bopkin]

I think the OP was spot on. There is talent there. I"m not sure a single pass traveled more than five yards through the first 45 minutes.
It would be nice to bring in someone who knew how to utilize the talent to actually see what we have.
The 3 OC system is an utter failure.
And the simplest bonehead mistakes(the offsides jump on the punt, the kickoff out of bounds, last week the safety play) are flipping games. Those things just can't happen. It's tough enough to beat another NFL team- darn near impossible when you're stepping on your own d***.

 

[Viggen]

The reason why the OLine is trash, is coaching. we got beat two weeks in a row by our cast offs from OLine.

done blaming players. It’s coaching.
