The wise coaches tend to focus more on building their team to peak at the end. Never want to lose any games. But record doesn’t mean as much as how the team is playing right at the moment of the postseason games. Wise coaches explore and figure out all they have in their possession that season. Ironing everything out by the end. All that really matters.

Another example of how you just don’t see or understand so much. You compared Fields to Hurts. Claimed the Bears were a strong team capable of winning their division last year even. I kept telling you before and even then…it was going down like it has. 

No O line ran for his life every play,Hurts had one of the best in the league. The comparison was, the owner will only coddle you so long until he demands RESULTS,something you seem to fail to comprehend. Fields got his chances,Hurts is getting his and unless he produces he will be gone just like Fields in Chicago(and Wentz here)

Parker called it like it is…he throws a very nice catchable ball downfield. He gives his WRs the opportunity to go up and win the ball. Or a Pass Interference penalty should be called. Haven’t really generated enough of those as I see it somehow though.

WR's should not have to "go up and get the ball" .If they have to it's because the pass was inaccurate. It also exposes them to injury,most DON'T LIKE having to be exposed(ask them) BTW what's Parker supposed to say when he was given a job?? The QB stinks but I signed anyway? You really are clueless to these player comments

The coaches aren't on the field. WHY do you think they call QB's the "field general", clearly Hurts is a private. Instead of saying :It's on me and I need to do better" he needs to actually DO IT-EVERY week. Ok,all teams have bad weeks,just not 6 in a row if you have true leadership

QBs and players try to optimize whatever plan coaches supply them with. All they can really do. Not sure how you’ve watched this game for so long and not come to this understanding. Exact same team with two different playcallers can be two different teams. Just like when Siri arrived. We stunk. Steichen took over….the team was successful. Millions of examples you can dive into throughout history. Coaching is a very huge factor. Not a single player since I’ve been around that can overcome bad coaching. Probably Mike Vick about the closest thing of a version of a player just winging things to success.

We can lose any week,I would prefer that to be vs  a BETTER team not an arse dragging 3 win one

I prefer it be earlier in the season than towards the end.

Just a good lesson for you to learn from of: 10-1 really doesn’t mean crap!

Not if you're the Eagles with Hurts I guess

Guess it was laundry day in TB because we had enough dirrty laundry for a seasons worth

Chiefs finished the season 5-5…yet won it all

Except…Fields isn’t Hurts. The point I’ve always contended and have understood.

Yes he is. Very great at that route. Yet we barely utilized him doing it last season. Shameful. But…we brought back the coach anyway.

I think we threw plenty of those the last 2 years.

That’s all a WR should ask for…a good opportunity to make the play.

Listen carefully- RPO=run,pass OPTION. If Hurts cannot read defenses he can't or won't change the play AT THE LINE. I didn't like the CALLED RUNS(or that many of them) YET Hurts CHOSE TO do them anyway. He really is piss poor reading defenses and making more than 1 read, has been his issue all along,because he always relied on his legs,not his intelligence reading defenses

Green Bay became a very legitimate team. I’m paying close attention to what they are up to. They are a team to contend with in the NFC.

And Dallas always loses to the good teams at the end....like clockwork.

Then why was I complaining every week about them not occurring? I jumped for joy when a simple quick slant was actually called. And it worked great.

Because Mahomes is a leader. You even see him takeover the team DURING a game

I think Parker very concisely and clearly identified Hurts and his strengths matching up exactly this way.

He has AR. A coach that makes adjustments. Isn’t so predictable. Heck…just a fantastic O mind and HC. One of the best. Short version: not Siri.

He got used to running QB's. Had one in Miami,so of course with those types you have to have jump balls as they panic throw on the run

Yes...Hurts throws a perfect ball for w guy like Parker.   Remind me who had the worst separation of all the NFL WRs again???  Perfect guy who prefers the jump ball.  He doesn't separate ...so no YAC...I believe you made that point to GB... so that guy needs the soft weak armed jump ball.  

The speed guys need to be led down field on the deep ball... not our guy's thing

That part is true,even so you can see Mahomes make the plays on the field. He is PASS first,run if he has too,Hurts panics too soon. he should use his legs like Mahomes to move around in the pocket and make the additional 1-2 reads instead of just running automatically after 1 read

The OC has been his lifelong family friend. He wasn’t going to throw Johnson under the bus. That’s to be admired. But not what the team needed last season. The change on O coaching was what was needed…not so much on D. Rosie really **** the bricks on that whole heavily thought out plan of his. Complete fail!

Again....it wasn't a question about Johnson. It was about Hurts leadership.

He’s fantastic at running and making the decisions on RPOs. This can’t be disputed. He’s clearly not Peyton manning level QB reading NFL Ds for sure though.

That is really Smiths(and most OSU WR's) forte. So with a guy like Smith, with Hurts at QB, you almost need to treat him like a slot and get the ball out fast with a nice lead on the pass pass. Since we know Hurts has a limited arm, I would like to see more of those type passes since Hurts is capable with those. He's not dropping 65 yard bombs into their breadbaskets

Clearly proved throwing up either to Quez wouldn’t work regardless.
