The fact that we all agree that the D is horrible makes it uninteresting to talk about. 90% of message board fun is the arguing. I don't know of anyone that thinks our D is even close to a solid unit. Hence, the only thing to talk about it how to fix it. And most of us aren't coaches so that would be a discussion between about 5 guys on here.
you have to admit there was an entirely different feeling to the offense the last few games versus how it was executed against Minnesota. Beck's calling the plays, but Taylor is often checking out of them. On the other hand, RK and TA don't have the experience to make those checks all the time, and are therefor executing the game as Beck sees it - which is FAR more effective. averaging 78 plays a game, and we only managed 60 this weekend? are you saying Minnesota's defense was that good?
knapp, he's the most high profile player on the team, the QB position is the most criticized position on the team and it'll always be that way. I agree he's not the only problem this team is facing by a long shot, but given his injuries and his play this is a no brainer for folks to go after him. Love the kid because of his heart and what he's done for us, but it's time to move on and there is no other choice really at this point. The defense IS terrible, special teams isn't playing that well, the offensive line played terrible, etc. etc. I have ZERO faith this team can win every game from here on out, if they do, I'll gladly eat my crow, but Bo better be making some changes because if he doesn't he can go out the door with the rest of them. I have no confidence in him at this point and the troubling thing is I really want to have confidence in him and I want to see him succeed. Kills me to see him sucking it up so bad because he does run a good clean program, but he doesn't have IT that is required to be a head coach.
No, but neither is the one to remove him when it's clear that he isn't good to go by anyone with a set of eyes.
If Armstrong or RK III starts and we see the same offense we saw the prior 3 games, I would hope we are ready to face reality of who our top 2 QBs really are at this point.
I think they already talked with Q and that is why he is speaking the way he is now. I am sure they let him know not to go off.
It isn't the first time someone has said it is tough to catch footballs from Taylor on occasion. Also, not all of his throws were "fine"... did you not see the huge picture BigWillie put in the game thread? Lower, more velocity, hits Kenny Bell in the hands, wide open. "Have to make the tough throws". And apparently people disagree with the whole "if it hits your fingers you have to catch it." That is a pretty silly notion.
How many times did our offense stall out due to poor play calling, receivers not catching the ball, the offensive line not playing well, etc.? It doesn't matter if the defense would've stopped them or not and see what you're getting at, but our offense was supposed to be ridiculous this year..................it's ridiculous all right.........................ridiculously inconsistent.
Exactly, a pick deep in their territory, or a 3 and out w/ a shanked punt because of a consistently inconsistent offense. Doesn't matter either way...the other team is getting the ball back...and they got the ball back plenty of times because of the offense on Saturday.
