What does Doug need to do? Throw the whole playbook at Trevor and make him the vocal point of the offense, 2nd half against the Phins was ridiculous to see how we completetly went away from the pass. That was a horrible coached game. The only true superstars on that coaching staff was Nielsen. Doug and the O needs to get their [BLEEP] together.

We ended the first half 17-7.  And then in the 3rd Quarter we were doing great, about to go up 24-7.   The ETN fumble killed the entire motivation/vibe/momentum/whatever-you-want-to-call-it/heart of the entire team.  The entire team collapsed after that fumble.

You gotta think that a HC worth his salt could have said or done something to the team to re-focus them.  Instead, the offense completely went George Costanza in a pool and started running frieghtened turtle plays.  And by the time the Defense woke back up, they had given up the back breaking TD.

Doug's seat isn't hot, it's only 1 game.  But we have to expect better from what is a SB winning HC that somehow got limp Nick to win a ring.  We need that type of HC back.  One that makes everyone believe we can win under any circumstance.  We haven't seen that type of coaching from Pederson since 2022.
