0 sacks and 4 QB hits and HOU passed more than they ran... HOU had 8 sacks and 12 QB hits in comparison Tackles for loss - HOU 11 vs BUF 3

Funny posts from Panthers board years ago on why Brady was fired...sound familiar? Brady seemed to run a very simple and predictable offense. Similarly to Reich, I felt like we never ran RPO, rubs, double moves, motion. No creativity and teams seemed to know what was coming. But I also think he was a scapegoat for the Rhule era, a bit. I am not convinced that Rhule allowed Brady to run his full offense. I liked Brady in 2020. He was the first actual OC we'd had in years. He schemed receivers open. He beat blitzes with quick routes. He wore down defenses without using an MVP quarterback to do the wearing down. Then 2021 happened. I honestly think he wanted out. That offense was putrid. It wasn't designed to move the ball. We won some games early on because our defense was shutting people down and nobody told our offense they were supposed to be bad. Then sometime after week 3, we were running an offense that resembled high school football. Granted, it would've been a very high level high school football team, but it still wasn't professional level football. I honestly can't describe it; its like everyone knew what we were doing pre-snap and it was the most basic of plays. It honestly looked like sabotage to me. I believe Brady wanted out of the Rhule mistake. I didn’t hate Brady really…he just…ugh, was so predictable! Bro called screens like at least twice a drive if I remember correctly. The screens would gain 1 yard max Teddy would throw a checkdown behind the line of scrimmage on 4th and 8 with 13 seconds left in the fourth quarter, down by 4 at the opponent 25 yard line. He had 27 games to learn on the job honestly. His scripted opening was pretty decent but then it came time to call plays on the fly and he just fell apart. Don't hate the guy but his offensive scheme wasn't a good fit for Rhule's power run vision (regardless if you liked Rhule) and he kept making the same mistakes. He shouldn't have been hired as a OC with such little experience in building a program in the first place, the guy only called red zone plays at LSU.

And we help making it worse by running all the bunch sets. Why we refuse to spread the field is beyond me. Its like they want the other time to have the option of rushing any of 11 guys and on run plays our guys have to block all these guys. Spread it out and at least limit what the D can do. I think Brady has gotten so obsessed about turning WR's/TE's into run blockers.

Brady is more like the guy everyone saw at CAR than at LSU. Without Allen the Bills are one of the worst O's in the league with his scheme.

Byron Leftwich as passing game coordinator? He was a hot commodity for a bit. Fresh set of eyes cant hurt.

Knox contract says it all. He was paid a top TE contract. Which he never was. Then we draft a TE in the 1st round of the following draft. Then we trade Diggs and replace him with a stable of $10M JAG's. That was Beane's plan with the O.

Unpopular take because Allen is the best player on the field. But there is something up. Whether its Brady and the talent around him or Allen himself its hard to say...chicken or egg sort of thing. But Allen is doing things he hasnt done for a long time. Taking 18 yard sacks, throwing balls where he cant see, missing easy throws because either his clock is off or his feet are. What I am wondering is if Allen is not putting in the work on non game days. Is he studying the same way he has the past few years that allowed him to recognize and adjust the plays or OL calls? Is his body, while still a beast, not as able to break tackles and out run guys because he has scaled back some of the extra work? We dont know that stuff.

And essentially getting a clean get off because we continue to hike the ball at 1 on the play clock. When the edges are just jumping the count you have to switch it up. This is a freaking basic concept but Brady will not adjust.

I dont think they can fire him at this point uintil the off-season. My hope is maybe they can hire an special asst to the offense or something along those lines. No idea who that person could be but an other brain getting involved in this O is desperately needed.

Every day it is more and more clear that if not for Allen McBeane would not have lasted more than a few seasons.

Sadly this year will go down as a huge blown opportunity. The AFC is wide open as ever when you have KC, BAL, and CIN all just fighting for playoff spots. The #1 seed was there for the taking and this team has lost to 3 teams not even in the playoffs. The schedule is so easy that we have only played two teams currently in the playoffs. The trade deadline was a complete failure as it was obvious the team needed reinforcements. Beane and his ego refuse to admit he has any flaws in the roster he built. He celebrates getting his home grown mediocre players re-signed. We have coaches that cannot adjust or just make the same mistakes over and over. It is trickling down to the players who most of the time barely have a pulse. Josh is starting to look like he would rather be somewhere else than a football field, and you cant blame him. Josh will never say it but I think he is frustrated with the scheme, talent and decisions being made around him. I dont know where we go from here. Sometimes it feels like they are just trying to get to the new stadium and there is no urgency. I have heard life is more than football more times than I care to hear.

The players don’t look to be having any fun. Maybe it’s rubbing off on fans.

Not sure I agree with running a minute off the clock there

Not sure how confident I am that this team can beat Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, New England, or Philadelphia. Missing playoffs is a possibility.

And we were still hiking the ball at close to zero seconds on every play. Did they really think they don’t need the clock in this game?
