I gave myself the night to think things over before posting, but nothing has changed. Diaco has been a disaster, and there were multiple times last night where I wanted to grab him by the ear and yell, "What the hell are you doing?" He should send letters of apology to Boyle, Whitmer, all of our running backs, Foxx, and I'm sure a couple of others for the way that he handled them last night and throughout the season.
1) Pick a damned QB! I don't care which. Pick one. Playing three different QB's in the first quarter alone is a recipe for disaster. Nobody has a rhythm. Turnovers from both. Stupid stupid stupid plan.
2) Unless your name is "Foxx", don't use your QB's as your running backs. If I see Boyle or Whitmer run another option or bootleg again, I'm going to throw up. We have 4 very capable running backs, and we don't bother using them until the 4th quarter when it's way too late. We have the friggin' horses, so USE THEM!!!
3) You cannot rush 3 against an accomplished QB with some wheels, and expect it to end well. Kudos to Adams on the first pick, but that was a situation for disaster.
4) You cannot do all of the aforementioned things when you had an extra week to prepare for your opponent. Good God. What do you need to get it right? A month? A year?
I think that the most telling thing for me was that I started daydreaming in the 4th quarter that I had more money than Burton and that I would give Warde the buyout cost so that he could go get Weist back. I want you to let that sink in. I wanted to have multi-million dollars in my bank account so that I could go back and get our interim coach back. Holy hell. God save me, because I've run out of my vitamin D whilst I was tapping too many rocks...
