I think it boiled down to Meyer and Bevell clearly being disconnected as far as how the identity of the offense should be implemented last year.

The play calling was consistently inconsistent and it showed in their overall lack of play designs and formations.

They were trying to pigeonhole players into roles that didn't work instead of highlighting and amplifying their strengths into schemes and formations that did work.

The few times they ran the RPO formations for Lawrence he actually looked comfortable and made some good decisions with the football.

Trying to stretch the field or use WR bubble screens in spread formations with guys like Sheanault instead of keeping the alignments tighter at the line in bunch formations to enable natural pick plays to develop for underneath routes to benefit his YAC ability infuriated me.

Especially after Chark and Agnew were lost for the year. They also didn't utilize Robinson enough in the passing game. Rarely saw any HB screens or TE screens. Limiting Lawrence's ability to run also hurt the offense. Running Hyde out of spread formations after he spent the majority of his career running in power formations.

Just aggravating really.

I have a good feeling most of this will be fixed with this staff coming in. If we survive Baalke, and by we I mean Doug Pederson's staff, this team should be highly competitive and winning games regularly by as early as next season. 

If Meyer took this job seriously this team could have pushed .500, its a damned shame he basically saw this as a paid vacation and was in panic mode vs focusing and adapting to the NFL.
