This game was deeply disturbing

[J817]

Really?

Really, Zeke is not. There have been better runners who have gone down a few games and have their teams still manage to win. This team should be more then capable to survive and win games without him just as Steelers have won without LeVon (who is debatably better), just as the Patriots win with no names running the ball, and as the Falcons won without their best runner yesterday. If this teams wants to walk the walk of a Super Bowl Contender play like one. So your offensive focus is down. ADJUST

Really?

Really. Zeke is quite easily replaceable, we have 2 running backs that will do a good job. He's not indispensable, he's not critical, he's just nice to have around.

There's a reason why running backs don't go in the first round.

They do. All the time.

We came out trying to play the EXACT same game as if we had Zeke /Tyron offensively. We continued to do so even after it was apparent that plan would not work.

It's concerning because either the staff genuinely thought there would be no drop off or was simply incapable of coming up with a plan to compensate.

We didn't play well, but the players were not put in a position to succeed.

sir--- i 100% agree...marinelle much better at defensive adjustments...but Garrett and offense have only made one successful mid

game adjustment and that was against Cardinals...the rest either they had our number frum beginning ( Denver, Atlanta ) or we

started off well but opponent adjusted and beat us cause we cannot perform on-fly adjustments ( rams, packrs ).....i am so livid

with how we get out schemed and out coached more often then oyher way around

Twok- i agree with chatter that said this post was essentially gave picture why we lost to falcons

Lee goes out we know how the defense plays. I know Jaylon is the whopping boy but he wasn't as bad as some like to say.

The problem was coaching plain and simple. Green struggled but yet they didn't give him any help. I can't remember 1 time a TE or RB stayed to help Green. Had some quick stuff but not tons. FB screen at the worst time. Offensively the plsycalling was terrible.

We played well until Lee went out. On offense I blame coaching for staying status quo. They sit Green for Bell after Clayborne had 34 sacks and 12 force fumbles.

We can be good on offense without Zeke but if Tyron is out even more we are in trouble cause I have no faith that Garrett or Linehan will get a good gameplan together

sir-- i must agree with your analysis

 

[GORICO]

Brandon Graham might end Dak’s career if Tyron isn’t back next week.....

mr..Dakprsegoat---- I am pretty sure i wont watch game because poor Dak will get a beating...why not put just accept we must

load up our offensive backfield with extra blockers?...our line is not #1 in NFL..and it is not elite....but our coaching staff is so

stubborn and live in make-believe world....next man up--no excuses

 

[GORICO]

People better prepare themselves for a complete de-pantsing next week, especially if Smith is hobbled and Lee is hobbled or likely out.

I mean it could be an ugly, national TV loss.

Sydia--- the real shame about the whole thing is coaching staff lives in make-believe world.....ok we will clean up a few things and

getb back to playing to our potential.....a bump in the road...next man up..no excuses.....instead of making adjustments and

putting our players in better situation to play to their strengths....how could they have left Green out there so long getting annhilated?

our coaches live in make-believe world

 

[GORICO]

I remember reading that and was surprised it didn't get more play, especially around here. That's a STUNNING indictment against Garrett.
We need a coach who can scheme us a victory. Under Garrett (as I've said time and again), he needs a team of blue chippers in order to win. That gives us no coaching advantage whatsoever.

MUST SAY....WAS ON FENCE BEFORE..BUT AFTER YESTERDAY..MUST AGREE WITH YOU GUYS

But those teams have coaches who are capable of adjusting thier gameplans. The Dallas Cowboys do not possess an X and O coach. He cant adjust a game plan even if the best LT in football is out of the game and the backup is getting killed they dont adjust.

You just revealed the point of my rant

 

[DandyDon52]

As soon as I saw Morris. I knew we werent gonna be able to run the ball. McFadden should have started

Morris did good in the third quarter Drive where they use the proper scheme to run. Although against Atlanta I think maybe Smith would be the better back.

I am disturbed by how completely we are reliant on one person - Sean Lee

 

[Hayseed]

Disturbing? YES... and Deeply I might add. My electroshock therapy had been going so well of late and everything. One more game like last week and my wife is gonna have to hide the Fava beans!

Bell has the worst ypc then any running back in the top 10. Only 2 are below 4 yards a carry. Bell is 3.8.

Zeke is over 4 and that's with his 9 carries for 8 yards against Denver. Bell isn't better then Zeke
