Hear me out: We could very well win out

Clearly I'm all about monetizing my existence. -

Frustrated HIGH SCHOOL English major?! How dare you. I'm a frustrated advanced degree holding English major, with the ridiculous debt to prove it. hahahahahakillme -

So...in that order? -
The Yeldon point is mystifying to me as well. He doesn't play special teams, I get it. But neither do #20 or #26 as far as I can see. So why does his apparent effectiveness go unvalued by the coaches/management? (By all means, attack this point with data, please; I am going on naked gameday perception.)

At some point we need to consider that play-calling tendencies, in-game sequencing, might be to blame for some of the blown-up or walled-off runs. Some of those unsuccessful plays seem dead on arrival, which cannot be blamed on the running back. (Of course, there are also examples where the RBs don't hit it up in there.) Increasingly I'm seeing Daboll as a strong teacher and strategist, but a really inconsistent play-caller. He catches defenses off-guard at times, especially early in games. Tends to stall-out, though, as the game progresses and his counterparts can adjust to his usually brilliant gameplan. When something is working, he often goes to the well once too often. Economists call it diminishing returns, I think. Other times, like today's 2nd half, he seems to abandon important elements of his own offense. (Did the play-action and creativity diminish for a stretch leading up to that last TD drive? The QB draw, I recall, excited me because it wasn't just a traditional drop-back that I felt we'd been calling for a couple drives. Same thing happened last week when the offense was feeling the Seahawks blitz. They get stuck in a rut.)

Bad coaching bringing this team down

Looks like we're shorthanded tomorrow - Covid-19
Richard Noggin replied to QB Bills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Blaming people for catching a highly contagious virus seems a bit...s#!!ty. Sure, if Norman didn't follow protocols, then he's a bit of a jerk for shorthanding his team like this (and for putting others at risk). But even those who do follow protocols get infected. So let's just stop judging players for getting sick and get back to hating them for getting HURT... -
I'd argue that Rivers is effective within the scope of a given play. BUT, we've already seen tonight how running a wide zone or stretch running game is hampered by the weakside DE having ZERO containment responsibility, so he can just crash down inside all day long (Clowney happens to be gifted in this way). And we know that Rivers is a relic with his poor movement in general (see also: sack at end of 1st half). He's just limited, physically.
