Thank god.

I think it's of primary importance that the calls are from one source. Either fully hand off to Press and let him sink or swim (potentially dragging you whichever way he goes) or take the reins yourself and claim full responsibility for what we see called.

I am not saying that Press is the problem; but it's gotta be a challenge for the offense to have multiple voices of authority, especially if they differ in any philosophical sense.

I want to see this team running like a fine-tuned machine. They are capable. We've been misfiring all season, hopefully this helps.

Well this corroborates everything we speculated previously.

Press Taylor is absolutely terrible as a playcaller and has rightfully been stripped of those duties for the sake of this teams success. Hopefully the team manages to look and play competently with Doug back at the helm, but I fear that our woes stem from both terrible coaching decisions and absolutely abysmal on-field performances by our players through 3 weeks.

Doug needs to emphasize the penalty problem in addition to the myriad of other issues, because its evident that our team can't overcome a minor deficit especially when we endure self-imposed errors.

This isn't an overreaction but rather, a straightforward observation that our team (from coaching down to players) are absolutely in the bottom echelon of the NFL so far. And the issue I take with this, like many others, is that we all EXPECTED an improved product carrying from the second half of last season - which is why this stings a little more.

Sure, "we're only 3 weeks in" but damn it if we don't get this sinking ship turned around quickly, we're going to be in some deep water with regards to the season.

I think you've gone a step too far, I highly doubt Doug would give him the reins at all if he were "terrible". I think we need some consistency. We can get fancy when everyone is 5+ years into the same system and all facets are clicking.  That is distinctly not the case right now, and adding this wrinkle into weekly gameplan is showing in our sloppiness.
