But doubt dumb fuck for being the football savant we are all supposed to believe he is- can connect these dots.

This is a nutshell. In the two quarters of decent offensive football that our team has played, it was late in games when we needed to make plays fast in chunks. Ryan looks WAY better as a read and react timing guy as opposed to the improviser we are forcing him to be. If teams are getting free jumps at our QB due to suspect line play, why aren't we executing quick slants, screen, and dump offs on 2 and 3 step drops?
Indeed, it is literally like watching Reich play with toy soldiers as a special ed student and continuously run his little blue soldiers into a wall. His system is really showing it's limitations, and his inability to adapt to fit his teams strengths (or mask their weaknesses) is really becoming a thing. I think he has done just enough to not be fired mid-season, but alas his pink slips are likely post dated already barring a crazy run that results in a playoff birth which, given the crapshoot that is the NFL, is in the realm of possibility. This win was almost more of a loss because (like the KC win) will just kick the can down the road to making the quick and drastic changes that this franchise will need to make by seasons end.
Chalk me up to wanting Will Levis as our target going into this draft. Lets see if we can suck enough to make it a possibility.
