On some level though the timing just doesn’t make sense to me.
They started the season with the hardest 3 games imaginable and were a challenge call away from tying the game against Minnesota.
Why now? All the stupid moves were made in the off-season. Why fire him after a brutal stretch of games to start the season?
“Listen, I’m not gonna sit up here and make excuses. We have injuries, a tough schedule, bad penalties called against us, and that Singleton guy is a good runner.” ...he said, listing the excuses.
Bill O’Brien is a mouth-breathing idiot. He has caused problems all over the league by setting terrible precedents like dealing 2 1sts for Tunsil without negotiating an extension first, trading away Hopkins for peanuts, etc. The chaos he creates spreads to other teams because agents and GMs use his bad deals as comparatives in future negotiations.
Obviously refs should err on the side of calling touchdowns in close cases since there is automatic review of scoring plays. By calling no TD they forced McD to burn a challenge.
Loved what he brought today.
And I’m sorry to say this but Levi Wallace has Casey Middlestadt’s physique. Dude is not built for professional football, he just isn’t. Never seen someone get hurt dropping an interception.
