    I'll be watching and rooting for them and will give credit where it's due and be happy when they win, just like always.

    What I won't do is continue to try and rationalize dumbass ideas, or play them off as something they weren't intended to be. Now *that's* a jake move.

    LOL. So you considered the Jags game - a 1 home pt win filled with offensive ineptitude against a 6th round rookie QB making his first start - to be a demonstration of BoB knowing what he's doing? You truly are stupid.

    There were two BillyO calls that alone would make you want to fire a coach.

    The WR cross field pass.

    The challenge.

    I can’t recall seeing two calls that incredibly dumb... and I’ve been watching this doofus coach this team for 6 years.

    He’s making what we thought he was - which was a horrible NFL coach - look like a genius.

    This is a coach that already once this season used two timeouts to incorrectly challenge a play. And he’s topped that... twice in one game.

    He’s sooooooooooooooo bad.

    Their best offensive drive of the game was the one with 28 seconds left ... probably because he barely had anything to do with it. Probably a good thing they didn’t have a timeout anyway... he would have f’d that up.

    He actually seems to be getting worse as a coach.

    When your Head Coach does not understand the basic use of timeouts and the challenge flag...how can you have any hope whatsoever that he understands the actual intricacies of running an NFL offense?

    I love trick plays, but that WR pass across the length of the field. I mean. Damn! That’s a tough pass for anyone. Doesn’t feel like an NFL playcall, and I actually can’t believe BOB even tried it.

    To me it's crazy for a guy to be that stubborn. After 84 games this should of been fixed.

    That's WR pass has me questioning everything I think about Bob.

    Literally NOTHING about that pass made sense. You fake a WR screen and have Hopkins throw the ball across the field on a shortened field on 2nd and 4!?!?



    What the hell did he see to think that would work? If you did see something to think that would work, how could you be so wrong? If you were that wrong, how can fans expect you to be right about anything else? How are you supposedly an offensive genius being that wrong and calling such a **** play?

    Would Andy Ried call a play like that in that situation and be that wrong?

    Sure, I remember it too.

    How long has Andy Reid been a coach (OC/HC)? Has Andy Reid been to the Super Bowl? The AFC/NFC Champ Game? Has Andy Reid made the same mistakes the past 4 years that he made early in his career? Does Andy Reid make them every ****ing week?

    Which coach do you think has learned from their mistakes and improved?

    Which coach do you think is a better coach right ****ing now?

    Well, if that is the case....O'Brien has time to improve. Reid made those mistakes in Philly AND KC. Amazingly, those mistakes have been missing since Mahomes became QB (He made them when he had McNabb and Alex Smith). So after being a head coach for over 15 years, he finally fixed his mistakes?

    So the plan is to wait around for BOB to turn into Andy Reid who in your opinion maybe still isn’t that great of a coach?

    You made this thread after one game.

    BOB will take the blame? Who gives a ****...it means nothing.

    They lost to a team starting a QB that wasn’t good enough to keep his starting job at UH.

    Except Andy Reid was a good coach despite those things, which made him worth keeping around. BoB is not.

    Bob is just not smart enough.

    His team is undisciplined costing him one to two timeouts a game, and he has zero concept of click management.

    The only way he improves is to hire a play caller, and someone to manage the clock.
