It’s looking more obvious now what Doug had planned for when he took this job. He saw a young team with a decent QB and a franchise with a lot of cap room. He had the idea that he can kickstart the team and guide them in the right direction, and at the same time mentor young assistants who can take the reigns , probably after year 2, and Doug can just coach-manage from a high level

And then when we went 5-0 in October, he jumped the gun and decided to let the assistants run the show and thats where it all fell apart. You can kind see it on the team, with the way some of them looked checked out too, like they didn’t have a real HC on their azz as those losses started piling up. Only a few guys played motivated and one of them was chasing a big contract.

I give credit to the only real dogg EE since he just got paid and still worked his [BLEEP] off game in game out

For what its worth, it’s still more fun than previous seasons post-Del Rio era

It wasn’t long ago that we were yearning for those sub.500 seasons to return
