Why does this keep happening?

[EasyRider]

This particular game:
Offense
: horrible presnap execution 1st quarter
: IOL cannot move the pile, this is death in goal-to-go
: no road grader at RB, why let Chris Brooks go?

Defense:
- soft AF, dunno what happened? Lots of those guys are from former cold weather teams and are ballers, but suddenly today they make JAGs look like Derrick Henry
- no 2nd pass rush option, Chop Robinson still has to prove himself against top OTs
- banged up CBs

Special Teams put us behind 8 ball

Thematically over McD/Tua era:
- system complexity
--- breaks down with any big disturbance: noise, cold, wind, pressure, physicality.
--- too complex to reliably execute over-and-over when they take away the big play. So we settle for field goals.
--- good luck finding any qb2 to do it decently
- lack of physicality at IOL and RB, at least one WR position
- not enough data on the defensive side yet to draw conclusions, seems like we have the personnel and coaching to do well but injuries are a big factor

Very good post. Spot on

Every big game this team its not even competitive. Every time we are on national TV we flat embarrass ourselves. Just so bad.

We beat the rams like three weeks ago on MNF.

Seriously? It’s pretty clear
We don’t have a real HC who can prepare this team properly and we have a QB who wilts when needed the most
Simple arithmetic

Cliche’s stand the test of time for a reason: “Be careful what you wish for”.

Hey, Finheaven, from me & my Cuban brethren: COGE LO TUYO Get what’s yours!

Flores made Spartans out of a 1-6 team.

But y’all wanted a coach to “pasar le la manito/caress Tua. Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty, Little Ball of Fur. Happy Kitty, Sleepy Kitty, Purr Purr Purr

COGE LO TUYO

The team is not built right. Need tougher players and better mentality. 3500lbs of winter equipment? You’re there to win a game not stay warm. Not like this was the Kansas City game last year

Packers are SOOOO much more physical.

There well coached that don't crack jokes half of the practice.

You’re a gas. This site cracks me up. Last time I checked they have a losing record.

Pretty easy to see. Dreadfully put together roster, combined with an overly smart head coach who doesn't even try to instill toughness in his team. Flat track bully, hides in the limelight. Need a full cleansing.

Bc the coach and the people he has hired have no idea how to prepare a team or manage it through a game at a high level.

This team is just again getting outplayed in every single component

Every. Single. One.

Meanwhile Dan Campbell’s team is now 11-1.

Malik Washington has been atrocious on special teams

But quite a few got their wish - no Berrios
