....... and to think Roman got fired for only scoring 31 points against the Jets.

Seeing how we average 12 points a game we might as well have a Vontae Davis type half time and go get some pizza.

I think on the season we have thrown as many TD's to the other team as we have to our own. Picking a "franchise" QB (mind you none of this is on Allen) has definately fixed our passing game.

I thought he came out of college as a middle LB for the Cowboys. He was fast as hell if I remember right. Might be a younger faster Lorax. Not sure he's got the same instincts though.

Murphy seems like he is always hurt or dinged up.

Peterman is starting but it can't get any worse right?

Mostert can now scratch his right elbow with his right hand. That was brutal.

Think he got a boo boo on his arm ?

Ah ......... you are right. Either way you can't blame the entire collapse on Shannahan. Again the Pats had the best scoring defense in the NFL. If we could score 21 points (if we aren't counting interceptions) we would have beat the Pats monday night.

If half time hadn't already passed I might think there would be some Vontae Davis type retirements in this game. Raiders are bad.

They scored 28 points on the leagues best scoring defense. While I agree they took their foot off the gas it took a lot more than Shannahan for that collapse.

Mullens has now thrown as many TD's as our team. In 3 qtrs of a game. Truth is I would say it's less that the talent looks better and more the players look well coached and hitting on the right plays. The line looks like they are better but that's what happens when the execution is good and the ball is coming out. Run game is working.

Kittles is back.

LOL

James also dropped a sure first down and possible TD before that last pass. He could have easily thrown three TD's.

Beathard has thrown 8TD's in 5 games. We've thrown 3 in in 8 games. We'd be doing well to have Beathard like production. I actually thought Beathard looked pretty damn good against the Packers.

Check that ............. he's thrown 2 TD's in a half. We've thrown 3 TD's all season.

Uh oh

He just threw an out and it didn't get taken back the other way for a TD.

I don't hate Daboll. He's no Kyle Shannahan though.

In less than 1 qtr Mullins is 2 TD's away from producing as many TD's as our team in 8 games.

My argument for why Daboll should be able to score some points. Beathard and now Mullins.

Tom Savage FTW!!!

To be fair Gailey also understood when to use which back. If you look at starts, Freddie started as many games as Spiller and was much better between the tackles. Spiller used to drive me nuts dancing around also. In his better years he seemed more decisive and other years he was guilty of too many negative plays. Daboll would be wise to learn when to use Ivory a little more and in my opinion it would actually help to get McCoy going. See also Karlos Williams, and Gillislee. McCoy has always benefited from someone who can take a few carries and soften them up.

My problem with this is that Daboll is not only in charge of playcalling but who's on the field and also making sure they know the playbook. When you know they are keying on the run and you need runs that pick up positive yards Daboll needs to sit Shady and put Ivory in there. When they are constantly calling time outs because people don't know where to line up some blame has to fall on him. All of that said I thought he has called a number of decent games. Execution is my largest problem with the offense and to this point in the season I'm not jumping on the "fire him" wagon but there does need to be visible improvement over the course of the season. Even with the players he's fielding. I've come away from the last couple of games thinking that McCoy is really handcuffing him. If we start games off trying to establish the run and McCoy starts off each series with negative runs we fall flat on our faces. If we bang out 3 and 4 yard runs a few times and then work Shady in on some screen passes or wheel routes we could have them loosened up by the second half and then McCoy might hit a home run or two. Used to argue the same thing with Freddie and Spiller. Jackson should have been starting long before he did.
