Why are you calling me names?

Everyone knows that it was Doug that gets the flowers for 2022.  But likewise, Doug gets the criticism for the regression since then.  

I've been saying it since last year.  The team Doug formed in 2022 was so good.  I loved that team.  But as soon as we got to October of 2023, I kept pointing out how things didn't seem the same.  That was even when we were winning.  We were winning in spite of what the offense was doing.  And now, in 2024, Doug has completely lost the players.

It's obvious that this team has no identity.  This team has no passion.  This team has no heart.  This team has regressed from what Doug created in 2022.  I don't know how else to put it.  But anyone that has been following this team for any amount of time can see this is not a lack of talent or because of the O-Line.  This is a coaching issue.  

Yeah, I will agree that we should fire Baalke too.  But Baalke isn't losing this locker room.  These are the players Doug has.  And he and the coaches he has hired or backed up for the last 3 seasons are not getting the job done.

That team in 2022 was bought, which Baalke is ok at doing. Since then the team has had to rely on the draft, where Baalke sucks. This isn't complicated, the quality of players declines once Baalke isn't free to spend all Khan's money on free agents. Everyone knows that teams that are good because of free agency don't stay that way for long. I don't care if Pederson is fired at this point, but the job he's done with a [BLEEP] roster is admirable if unsustainable.

He's right. Doug Pederson didn't blow one coverage or miss one block or throw one interception tonight. It's the guys on the field who are the problem.
