The Packers are probably somewhat stunned too, at how easy it was.It was just truly stunning. I'm still not over it.
If Seattle hires Quinn I think we'll know that he was checked out and likely promised the job about a week ago when Carroll was fired.
Have they met already?If Seattle hires Quinn I think we'll know that he was checked out and likely promised the job about a week ago when Carroll was fired.
Not sure on that but they at least requested to interview him.Have they met already?
There was something very wrong schemetically and no good adjustments were ever made. I don't know if he checked out, mailed it in or whatever. If you asked me 3 months ago I would have said it would be miserable to lose Quinn. Now I'm at the point that I'm just ready for him to leave. I'm willing to give McCarthy and Dak one more year of working together but Quinn needs to go. And so does this Oline coach. That has to be the minimum amount of change.If Seattle hires Quinn I think we'll know that he was checked out and likely promised the job about a week ago when Carroll was fired.
Guys are just running wide open. How did we botch both the run defense and pass defense?
The last time I saw mess that bad was at OU when Lincoln Riley had the USC job.If Seattle hires Quinn I think we'll know that he was checked out and likely promised the job about a week ago when Carroll was fired.
I'm not willing to give McCarthy another year but agree otherwise.There was something very wrong schemetically and no good adjustments were ever made.

And oddly enough now I'm ready for a more sweeping change on defense and not just promoting Whitt or whatever.
STFU Jerry.It was just truly stunning. I'm still not over it.
Yeah I struggle with McCarthy. It's impressive to have 3 straight regular seasons like he has. It was his first year calling plays with Dak. If we are running it back with Dak I'd like to see where it can go with another year under McCarthy on offensive. Especially with a new Oline coach and RBs.I'm not willing to give McCarthy another year but agree otherwise.
I mean I thought Dak looked better this season than he ever has. So yeah I think you can. Especially if you can improve a QB even after all these years. Hell this was the first year anyone told thr fucking guy his footwork mattered. WTFI don't think the team needs its ass kicked, though the defense might if it pouted and quit because it knew its coach was leaving them.
What it needs is a new QB. You can't have a guy who turtles up every time the playoffs start. Do people really think the fourth OC and third HC is going to change a QB in his ninth year?
TLDR version... You can't ass-kick a plow horse into winning the Kentucky Derby.
Yeah I think we need to rethink the scheme. We have a franchise pass rush and corner. Rebuild around that. The rest needs a shakeup.I think if I had to choose one thing and one thing only to address, it would be the defense. It needs a complete overhaul.
Find a 1T, a.pure pass rusher, about 3 linebackers, and maybe a CB. Plus a DC and new defensive staff.
I did, too, and it was great to see. Problem was, when the lights got brighter he went into brainlock again. Talked about it at the time, but really, the Miami and Detroit games he wasn't good, either. Those teams both have very good offenses and meh defenses, so they should have put up more points than they did. They won only because the defense showed up. Which of course they didn't on Sunday.I mean I thought Dak looked better this season than he ever has. So yeah I think you can. Especially if you can improve a QB even after all these years. Hell this was the first year anyone told thr fucking guy his footwork mattered. WTF
The team definitely needs it's ass kicked. I don't know if that would be enough to get Dak operating at a high level but it was obvious that the team was some sort of combination of unprepared, overlooking the opponent, anxious about the expectations, scared of the moment/not meeting expectations, and so forth.I don't think the team needs its ass kicked, though the defense might if it pouted and quit because it knew its coach was leaving them.
