Honestly, it is only right to tamper any expectations because of the situation he is being thrown into. It's not like the overall offensive scheme is going to change here in the middle of the season. The plays are the plays for the most part. Sure, he will have the opportunity to put in some new plays and concepts as the weeks go by, but the offense is the offense for the most part. That said, how the offense is called is what can be different. Situational calls can be different. Maybe instead of going shotgun on 4th and inches, he does the smart thing and just uses the tush push which is virtually unstoppable. Maybe when the team is rolling down the field with tempo and scoring, he continues to use tempo instead of slowing everything down to a snail's pace. Maybe he utilizes the QB runs we all know are in the playbook because we saw them for years under Daboll. Maybe he know what a slant pass is. Maybe he has enough common sense to see that the best this offense has looked all year is when Allen is under center and utilizing play action. Maybe he knows that he needs to give the defense something else to look at and think about on more plays by utilizing pre-snap motion and eye candy at a high rate. Maybe he knows that some gimmick plays with Harty are not such a bad thing to mix in. Maybe he realizes that rolling Allen out on a regular basis giving him the option to throw or run on multiple plays would keep the defense off balance. There are a lot of things that can be done differently with this same offense that we have been utilizing for years. We know because we've seen it in the past. Orbit motions, the push pass (I can't count the number of times Daboll called that with a ton of success and we haven't seen it once under Dorsey). The changes to this offense are already in the playbook. They just have to use them again. The biggest thing Brady can do to be successful, though, is to put Allen in position to be alien we know he is. Run him multiple times a game with designed runs. No, I am not talking about 10 rushes a game, but 5 shouldn't be off the table. Roll him out and create moving pockets and give him the green light on every play to take off if he doesn't see what anything he likes. You take 4-5 yards on a "bad" Allen scramble every time. You start making Allen's legs a weapon again and watch what happens down the field. All of a sudden if Allen burns you a couple times with his legs and those defensive players start sneaking forward a bit, all of a sudden, those deeper routes open up. These little things that we all know are in the playbook can add up to a lot. How many times this season does it feel if they just do a couple of things different in certain situations that we could have scored that extra TD or gotten that extra 1st down to ice the game. Football is a tough sport and as cliche as it is, it is a game of inches and the margin between winning and losing is super small even between the best and worst teams. So, Brady doesn't have to reinvent the wheel here to be successful. Just grease it a little.

Fourth and Stupid Just Knock it Down The Peterman Game I know there's a bunch more, but I'm tired.....

The fact is, they know this exact situation is coming 2-3 plays in advance. It is obvious to everyone watching what was going to have to happen and yet, somehow, our idiot coach has no idea how to get 11 players on the field with over a minute to plan for it. It is the peak level of stupidity.

Gabe Davis, for some reason a captain on this team, refused to take questions from the media after the game. Tells you all you need to know about this team on so many levels.

I don't care how hard they work or how many hours they put in. This is the DUMBEST coaching staff we have ever had. They just do the most idiotic things in the biggest moments and they are actively killing this fairly talented team. Every week they do things to hold this team back. If you are going to bench a player for fumbling, then I want the coaches barred from the building for the stupid crap they do week in and week out that have now cost us probably 3-4 games this season. I hate calling people dumb, but when it comes to the basics of football, THIS IS A DUMB COACHING STAFF.

If the players can be benched for stupid things, I want McDermott benched for that atrocity.

Nice job coaching..... Cost us another one!!! HA!

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!

Almost a fitting way for the season for all intents and purposes to end....

Right down the field as easy as could be. It happens every single time.

And just like that, they are just a few yards away from FG range on 1 play.

I want to be excited......I really do. But I have seen this movie too many times and the ending never seems to change.

They seriously ran the same exact play there..... I really thought as soon as Davis motioned into the same spot, they were setting the defense up for something the other way. Guess I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up for any creativity there.

There have been issues tonight, but this offense struggles enough on it's own, let alone when Cook is not on the field. The only times we have moved the ball tonight is when he's been on the field. Sometimes you just have to eat the bad stuff and hope it doesn't happen again, but you have to have your play makers on the field.

I mean, who needs a dynamic athlete on the field anyway. Just bench him.

Thank God their punter has been bad so far.

Torrance got a holding penalty. Gabe dropped a ball right in his hands that turned into an INT and took points off the board. Brown has been beaten like a drum on multiple reps so far. Murray drops an easy one. Etc....etc..... Yet apparently Cook fumbling, after making a pretty solid play overall, is the only mistake worth benching a player for. That is not sending the right message to the team and shows no accountability on the coach for singling out a player. It's not right.

Cook still benched yet Davis is right back out there. That doesn't send the right message, coach.

Get Davis off the field. He's awful. If Cook sits because of his error, Davis deserves the same treatment.

Ugh.....Cook not on the field. Come on. Everyone screws up once in a while. Instead of letting him stew over it, put him out there and give him the ball and let him get over it.

Well, look at the bright side.... The last time Cook fumbled on his first touch, we blew out the Super Bowl champs.

Take the ball they said...... There are more bad results than good results by not deferring. Taking the ball in the 2nd half has way more benefits.

Jets haven't scored a TD in forever, but bracing for them to get at least 3 against us next week because, well, we can't seem to beat this crappy offense with Wilson at QB. So infuriating that we already lost to them once and we know that there is no way we just win a comfortable game against anyone, let alone this Jets defense for whatever reason. But alas, that's for next week. We still have to find a win tomorrow night.

Boyd.... My God..... Where were these drops against us?
