I’ve said it before, they get a pass this season from me because of the way everything started. Wentz’s training camp was basically the first four games of the year, which put them behind the 8 ball.

I expect 11-13 wins minimum next year, provided Wentz stays healthy.

But that's not how this works, and you know it. Next year, it will be JT with a blown knee in game 2, Pittman will lose a finger after game 5, Darius will surprisingly retire. This is the way the NFL works, it is Not For Long. We have a really good team, a team that contend right now. We have a coach that to me, can't leverage that in the moment talent because he has to be contrarian, has to tout that no one complained about his 26 straight passes because on 6 of them we averaged 7 per and that is "exceptional". What would be exceptional is having won the three games that he unquestionably played a considerable role in us losing because of his decision making process.

Man, I love aggression, I want a coach that wants to stomp the life out of the opponent. I also love seeing arcade game level offense where it seems there is no stopping the ball moving down the field (ala Manning's prime years). What I also want is a coach that recognizes what he has and how to best utilize it, which when you have this OL and THAT RB, c'mon. There is not a single cell in my body that is ever going to be convinced the best path to a W in the NFL is 26 straight passes. EVER. Don't care if it is Brady vs the 0fer Lions.

I am fully on board with Dacich when he says that Frank has no "feel" for the game. Completely agree. I think he is obsessed with #'s, I think he is infatuated with chunk plays, I think he feels a certain amount of pressure to prop up the guy he stuck his neck out for, and I think he is an obsessive control freak. These are the things I THINK, and I THINK that all those things combined find us losing games that we seemingly should have won because he can't get out of his own way.

So, essentially, you want a Bill Belichick clone, only one who’s better on offense.

That’s not realistic. It’s just not. I know you’re frustrated but Frank, with all his warts, is still a top 10 coach in this league. He’s proven that. Wentz is his 4th starting quarterback in 4 years and he has a winning record and 2 playoff appearances in that span.

Plus, canning Frank would put us right back into qb purgatory with no reasonable way out.

Frank’s not going anywhere, nor should he.

I think my response to that is that they did not lose because of the offense.

Running Taylor or not isn't making the defense suck against the mid-range pass. It's not like the Colts are scoring lightning quickly all that often(the bomb on Sunday being an exception), so the defense isn't getting worn out because they are constantly on the field. The ToP was 29.59/30:01 on Sunday.

It's the dang defense.

I think that his joke was insinuating that you were the megalomaniac smart guy instead of Reich, not that you were just a fan who didn't contribute to the play on the field.

It should have been obvious.

This isn’t the greatest show on turf, but in 6 of the last 7 games, they’ve put up more than 30 points.
