An experienced OC from outside the current organization would be the best choice. This regime is not being fired mid-season so we have to suffer through the remaining games. If, as it looks right now, we severely underperform, a wholesale change of the guard will be in order. It is a better option than a patchwork solution because McD is not going to hire someone with a radically different view of the offense than his.

I don't think BB and Daboll look eye to eye. Also, there are extensive discussions on this board about why Daboll is not a good OC overall.

Do you honestly believe Belichick would work with Daboll again ? And that Daboll is the choice to right the offense's ship?

I believe there is a guy on the Seahawks staff who is GM material. I would look at him first. Then fire all coaches not named Kromer. Then see what the situation is at UNC and hire Belichick as Head coach. See if Matt Patricia is available as DC. If McDaniels is fired in Miami, hire him as OC.

I wasn't referring to the final drive. I was talking about the one earlier. If we took the FG on that one , the final drive would only need another FG to win the game

It cannot. That's the realization I had.

Last night, it honestly felt like I was watching a game in the drought years. With our team being inept and getting hammered. The difference that made it worse last night was that we have Allen. In the drought years, at least I could fall back on "oh if only we had a QB".

Yes, same here. I didn't drink a lot last night and woke up feeling hungover. And like someone who slept only couple of hours

Most of the time, the nervousness is that things could get worse. But with Allen as our QB, they really cannot get very bad at all. And the upside is that we can get a FO team that can draft better , focus resources in the correct areas and push us over the top.

However, as badly as we were getting manhandled , we still could have won the game if McD didn't make the mistake of going for it on 4th down from their 30-something line. That would have let us kick the winning fg as time expired. That is what @thronethinkeris referring to. In game, I was wishing we kicked the FG. McD needed to be more game aware. This was a bigger failure than the entire mess that was our offense

Or if we took the points and didn't go for it at the 30 some yard line. I said it at the time, when your OL is getting manhandled, take the points.

I am having Black Label here

Good D. Now let Josh call his plays

When your OL is getting blown off the ball, take the points

I can't believe what I am watching
