Does anyone know who is actually calling the plays?

Does anyone know for sure?

Watching that last game was truly unbelievable that anyone with Pro Football experience was calling the plays...

Running up the middle on 1st down, every F'ing time - gets so freaking old! My god, that is when we should be passing, as the box is obviously loaded 8 and even 9 at times. (Zeke for 1, Zeke for 0, Zeke for -1, Zeke for 0 - that was our first 4 first downs)... Loosen them up, get them on their heels... then start running it down their throats... get Zeke some momentum. When he has momentum, he is unstoppable. When he gets shut down early, he loses confidence.

We passed on 1st down against the Rams (more often), then hand it to Zeke on 2nd, even 3rd down (then later when they didn't know what to expect, we hammer them with Zeke on 1st down... but to always have 2nd & long, 3rd & long in certain games gets old really quick. Why do we regress like THAT?! And to rarely use play action? W*F
The play call mix has you pulling your hair out? What in the H*** are they thinking?

How do you go from a near perfectly called game against the Rams, to whatever THAT was against the depleted Egirls practice squad?!

Shattered 2 remotes on Sunday. F***

But seriously, can anyone DEFINITELY say who has been calling the plays all season?

At this point, I dont really care, just get rid of them all and it won't matter.

Moore calls them. Dak decides who to throw it to.

Then there's that execution detail.

It’s Moore.
I think so too... sometimes. When we are steamrolling, and mixing it up. Yes, I see K Moore doing the play callling...
Hard to see that same person calling the run up the middle on 1st down, 6-7 1st downs in a row - Getting stuffed, and still doing it...
Doesn't make sense that the same person is doing it. I think the reins may have been rotating unbeknownst to us. Only thing that makes sense.

Moore. And he sucks. Fire him as soon as the clock strikes 0:00 when we play Washington. I'm done with this experiment. I don't want to hear the "#1 offense in the league BS".

It doesn't matter who is calling the plays... For all we know, it could have been the players calling their own plays...

Remember now, Garrett's headset is only there for show. It doesn't actually pick up any communication signals. Hes like us.....he just claps, cheers, spits, and robotically talks to the media. He actually just plays the role of PR guy.....Leave the lame duck be......So.....to answer the question its gotta be Moore.

Everyone gets on Garrett for just standing there and clapping but magically only when cameras don’t show him clapping he’s secretly calling plays with a play sheet he’s not holding.

The weakness of the Eagles yesterday was their DBs. So the team attacked them with 44 passes. If they had run it 44 times without success they would have been crucified for not trying to take advantage of the Eagles DBs.

Players have to execute and coaches have to properly prepare them to not allow the standard to drop in game with dropped passes or missing wide open guys by 5 yards when the pockets clean.

The X’s and O’s are fine. It’s instilling an attitude in the team to make them focus that’s missing. If Gallup catches the balls when he’d beat his defender or Dak hits Tavon wide open then no ones complaining about playcalling.

But because Sanjay hasn’t forced it into Gallup’s head yet after the Jets fiasco that he needs to always secure the ball before running and Kitna hasn’t gotten Daks technique to be instinctual on the deep ball, these things happen.

YES it’s a coaching problem but it’s more about coaching technique and mindset than X’s and O’s.

If the play was successful it was Moore.......if it failed it was Garrett

You can't tell me Garrett hasn't had his hand around Kellen's throat for most of the year....yesterday on first down...screamed of us running play action....yet....it was a Garrett game plan to keep it close all the way. You can't convince me different. Everybody keeps saying...we run 2 different offenses....well duh. Garrett's outdated crap that we have run for 12 years...still manages to keep this offense down. Yet people will blame Kellen for being a rookie. Well...this rookie is leading the league in yardage w/ a broken down QB and WR....and a RB that is wearing down quickly.

This! Exactly this! We came with the right “plan”. Attack a horribly weakened Eagle secondary. Our coaches did, uncharacteristically so, and our receivers were open all night. Unfortunately, they were overthrown, thrown behind, and 6 times chose to drop 6 beautiful passes all of which led to a farce of a passing game.
The “mistake” I suppose is not having a single coach on that sideline realize the passing game was off and say: “You know what JG/KM with our OL, Zeke, we can beat them with the run too. Let’s trust the ground game. Don’t give up on it just yet...”
It’s hard to be a fan when you keep feeling like you are getting provided proof week after week that there are fans in the forums that are wiser than the coaching staff, FO, etc.
Let alone what some of the talking heads in the media are saying...
:facepalm:
Hard to be a Die hard Fan these days but I still wore my silver and blue all day today. Had to. Made myself. But I did it. I love my team. But it’s hard...
