Random Thoughts

We come into this game #11 vs the run, then get pounded for almost 300 yards rushing? Why am I even surprised? This team is maddeningly inconsistant from week to week.

Is anyone surprised McGlassen got hurt? Its time to move on from this guy, he will never stay healthy. I had thought in previous years his injuries were due in large part to his violent running style, but even before the injury today he wasnt running hard.

Willie Smith SUCKS!! I never thought I would miss Barnes, but I do. Smith stands out as awful on a line that is playing poorly across the board.

DHB has become a pretty dam good player. At least I dont cringe anymore when the ball is thrown to him.

Huff deserves credit for moving to CB midseason, but he got toasted with regularity today. The safeties were bad too. Giordano lets V. Jackson run right past him on 3rd and 16, lol!!

I dont generally beat on a dead horse, but Knapp has no friggin clue how to game plan. There is ZERO imagination in the plays we run. Dude needs ridded, NOW!

I sure hope the fake punt was called on the field and not from the sidelines. That was ugly, and lame. Same with the onside kick.....everyone knew it was coming.

D. Moore needs to stop dropping the ball. He ran some bad routes today too. As good as he is, he has alot of room to get better.

With all that said......I will finish by saying there is no quit in this offense. Not so sure about the D, but the offense never stops coming. If only we could start a game the same way. Even with the o-line problems and a tard OC, Palmer is having a great year.
damn

i read all week that dennis allen went to mcfadeen to talk about what he preferred and then we were suppose to implement the gap/power scheme mixed with the zbs..... that got me excited...

my guess is G Knapp got his feelings hurt... about this and for whatever reason we come out with 6 straight passes mcfadden barley even seen the football and then he gets hurt? this a$$clown set the tone with 6 passes in a row before one handoff and it was about a 8yard gain then about 4 more straight passes.... this team will drain you......knapp is a cancer who because his feelings got hurt decided not to run the ball.. "they were stacking the box" who cares?! we didint even try running the ball
Coaching is everything!

The first two post hit the nail on the head.

We get out coached every week.

#55 must be benched. He is horrible! Martin should send him some flowers. Watch how badly 55 play is on the big runs. Pull them up on YouTube. It makes me sick. On one big run he goes right between 93 and 92.

God how I would hate to go through yet another
coaching change. We need to find the right guy. Not sure if Allen is that guy. He definitely needs to make coaching changes.

I think we should make a run at him.
