That explains it. I watched last nights game with the sound off so if they talked about I missed it.

Stefanski is a Kubiak guy who is a Shanahan guy to be totally accurate. I don't think Stefanski has ever worked directly with Shanny. But yea, your point that there will be a LOT of offensive carry over between the two is spot on.

Chester as the deputy, or Festus? 🤔

2nd time in a week I've turned a game off and went to bed and missed the fireworks. Did the same thing Monday night with the bucs game. Ironically, the exact same scenario and score.

Just thought it was a musing that Mayfield is wearing Josh Allen’s number

If that's not a 'Freudian typo', I don't know what is...🤔😁

I might be reading into this too much, he wore 6 college and pros, 11 in high school. 🤷🏼‍♂️

#1 pick in 2018 Draft.

Skip heading to work today with a hard on.

 

Can't wait to hear how many Allen comparisons he has.

I read your first sentence as a caution about when to take ED medications. 🤔

Feels odd to root for an ‘underdog’ that was a #1 pick, but I was cheering for him all the way.

Probably one of my favorite mis-read comments on here honestly.

How in the heck can a guy run an offense after only being in the building for three days? How could he know the terminology of the plays in his wristband?

 

And McDermit wanted to wait weeks to work Hines into the lineup for a few passing plays.   Makes no sense.   McCaffrey having a field day immediately in SF, Baker pulls out a comeback win 3 days after signing with a team.

[Greg S]

Raiders 4th blown lead this year after being up 13 or more points. That has to hurt. I guess the motto went from "just win baby" to "just choke baby".

He was running it against the Raiders Defense.  They suck.

When was Stefanski a Shanahan guy? 

 

Thought he spent his (coaching) life with the Vikes* until the Browns hired him. 

 

*which is actually pretty impressive considering he stuck on the staff through 3 different HCs

As @GunnerBill explained, he's a Kubiak guy who's a shanahan guy

 

[newcam2012]

Baker still sucks but you have to give him credit for the come back under remarkable conditions. I think he's a great backup QB. Problem is Baker thinks he's a starter.

[zow2]

Just another lesson for the rest of the NFL.  We've seen the Saints and Raiders pull a defeat from the jaws of victory this week.  Every play MATTERS, especially in the final quarter when possessions flip quickly.  Every penalty matters.

That brings me to the question "how much did Stefanski actually take from Kubiak?"

 

Far as I know, Kubiak went to the Vikes in 2019

Stefanski left the Vikes to take on the HC gig with the Browns in 2020

So they overlapped 1 year, during which Stefanski was promoted from QB coach to OC and Kubiak was "assistant to the HC" or some such

 

I would think Stefanski installed the offense he was already working with; it's not like Stefanski was a Kubiak disciple

What makes Stefanski a "Kubiak guy"?

 

As far as I can tell, Stefanski and Kubiak worked together for 1 year.  Stefanski was newly promoted from QB coach to OC. 

Kubiak was brought in as "assistant to the KC and offensive advisor"

Stefanski left the next season

 

It would kind of be like calling Ken Dorsey a "Joe Brady guy" because they've worked together on offense this year.  I'm sure Brady has input, but I'm also sure the terminology and structure of the offense are from Dorsey.
