And what, besides blind allegiance, is giving you any hope whatsoever that this clown show is going to turn itself around?
It isn’t just a talent and personnel issue. It looks exactly like the same old crappy coaching and development we have grown so accustomed to seeing.
Bye and large I like the approach Poles has taken. He’s had some hits and had some what look to be bad misses thus far. Nate Davis, Chase Claypool, Velus Jones, and Lucas Patrick for example.
I think Flus is a probably a good coach (but probably had a bad preseason plan). He’s shown some willingness to learn up to this point. Something Nagy never showed. I don’t know if he and Getsy are the right coaches to get Fields to where he needs to be. For the most part I’ve not been a fan of Getsy. Yes, he improvised and got the offense going last year, but hasn’t shown he can do it without a dynamically athletic quarterback using his legs. After watching that tape last night what confidence I did have him which wasn’t a ton, is shot.
I hate to say game 2 is do or die, but if they look bad, this could go off the rails Marc Trestman style.
I still think the general trend with the franchise is upward, but it definitely took a shot to the gut Sunday.
