Davidson's face/palm

We have had two offensive coordinators during the Fox era.

Both have had the same compliants from fans, commentators, and most likely the team itself.

Who is the common denominator?

it is true, that had Moore not thrown 3 INTs in the redzone things may have been different, but, who knows.

This team is rebuilding mode, what or for what coach they are rebuilding for, I could not say; but, it is very much time for a change when someone like me, can call the play from the stands or the sidelines.

Our O-line, with Otah out, and Gross coming back from injury is not the same either.

Regardless, the buck stops with John Fox. It's time we stopped blaming the coordinators, IMHO.

The complaints have been that they were predictable.

Henning was called too conservative, but he was never faulted for trying to feed the stud. He also operated from a true run-first standpoint, although he wasn't afraid to air it out if thats all the defense gave him.

A great example of Henning's style was in 2007 when Weinke put up a franchise passing record and we still lost. The next game he unveiled the wildcat formation with Williams playing at the QB position.

What's sad is that Henning never had the talent on the offensive line or at running back that Davidson does. I suspect that if he had, we would be screaming at him to pass the ball. He was plenty predictable, but only with the stuff that we were built to do.

Davidson is just out in left field somewhere. You give him two number one picks at RB, and a line with our talent, and he decides to throw more than he passes. Not just during this season either, he's done it every time we've fallen behind since he's been here.

Where did you see Foxball out there? Now he did not adjust in the second half that indeed is his fault but other then that he let Davidson get pass happy out there.

Yes we have had two different OCs. One that knew how to exploit defenses and still dose with the Fins and one that dose not know how to exploit a weakness if it slapped him up side his head.

Everyone hated Henning cause of his draw plays but the fact is he was given little to work with. We drafted Davidson a whole new line when he came and gave him two new backs and he still has not sniffed greatness.

I think the 2 choices for OC suck. Henning's offense only put up 15 on Buffalo yesterday. That's not saying too much. Hell, our offense put up 16 on NY (I will not count safety) with all the TOs.

Fox needs to just worry about being a head coach and he can have his hands in on the defense because that is what he's best at. Give all control to the offensive coordinator (hire an actual good one please) and let him work his magic.

I'm also questioning the play calling, but to be fair to Davidson and Fox - I'm sure Moore was not coached to throw a ball into triple coverage....

Perhaps poor play calling setup that situation, but throwing balls into double and triple coverage in the red zone is never the best option... taking a sack would be a better option.

He wouldnt have been doing that if we had been running the ball like we should have to score in the red zone.

I understand you have to throw to come back from behind but once you get to 1st and goal. RUN THE BALL. down their effin throats. Maybe a throw in there, but RUN RUN RUN. How is that so hard to understand when we have 2 running backs who have proven they can score in these sorts of situations.
