I was very underwhelmed with canales. Sitting all the starters is strike one, 7 oline was strike two, and sticking with Plummer leading to a shutout was strike three. I see no reason to believe this team has improved 

If Luton had the whole second half the vibe might be a little more positive around here, and that's on the coach. The whole board was over Plummer by the 2nd quarter

Okay, that was like watching old people f***, I admit. But overall, I'm quite impressed with the defense. Evero showing once again why he is and should be a sought after HC candidate. He really can make chicken salad out of chicken poo. 

The offense looked as bad as I expected given that we inexplicably rested our starters. And the really sad part is I don't expect much improvement when they are on the field. 

It would be funny as hell to see Tepper can another HC but if this team looks like they did tonight all year long then you absolutely cannot let Evero walk out the door

I am VERY pro offensive minded HC but Evero just seems like a damn good coach period

I think Evero should have been hired as coach.  He is clearly the best coach and leader on this team.

TMJ - (the jaw clicking condition) is more enjoyable than the WR.

He was more qualified than Canales.

I'm willing to bet he will get more time next week.

He's also more capable of running his established defense while also dealing with Head Coach responsibilites. Canales has to be qb whisperer which he obviously did nothing for Plummer, play caller and head coach in a brand new system. If he wasn't already in his own head he's going to be after this poo show when the press actually has something to critic him on whenever he'll actually do a presser because it seems like they're avoiding doing one tonight

I would have done anything to fire John Fox and hire an offensive coach ~20 years ago.  But man I feel like I've seen enough.  We need a defensive coach.  REPENT

I mean Wilks had our best offense in the last like 4 years with like a week to turn it around

We don't need an offensive or defensive coach at this point. We need a new owner.

Just goes to show you the impact that really good coaching can have.  Most people would say we lack talent on defense, but you can see the coaching in how they play.  The tackling is sound.  The fundamentals are there.  People are on point.

Very discouraging about the offense.

Yeah and it was there last year too. He is good at his job. 

It could hold a guy like him back because he could actually be a better hands on coach and defensive strategy than a staff and player manager.

Plummer was bad, but the reality is when bryce looks the same the narrative wil be different. And that's when the jumping hurdles will come out. 

There just isn't an elite talent on this roster to mask how bad it is.

This. It’s the only common denominator since 2018
