Les's obvious change in philosophy last night was a personal disaster

Personal to him, that is... not to me.

It was obvious that he was no longer afraid of using the forward pass to set up the run. It was obvious that he veered away from his "let's wear them down and win in the fourth quarter" attitude. It was obvious he didn't want to run against eight man fronts.

Good for him on all that, right, but unfortunately he got exposed in a manner that was, in total, very unflattering.

Because what was also obvious is that the man is tolerant of sloppiness, and, even more alarmingly, that his and his assistants' cumulative high-priced expertise amount to plays on the chalkboard that are not working. For all the success at critically-timed and properly-executed plays we might as well be employing lower income middle school coaches.

Thanks for the philosophy change, coach... you've satisfactorily demonstrated your "want"... but now you've also proven you don't have what it takes in the know-how department.

I think les has something going on behind the scenes like an illness or family member illness or depression or something.

There is just a weird vibe right now

Agreed.

The 3 false start/ illegal formation flags late 4th one right after another pretty much summed up our night and how fricking sloppy this team/program really is.

I think the bottom line is that we couldn't pass block for shite. Actually didn't mind the game plan.

The thing with Les is that he's so stubborn, he always seems a season behind what the average fan already knows.

How can someone be so common sense about football, yet so delusional and blind about politics and life?

The trouble is Rex, our team is so set up for the run, our O-Lineman have a difficult time pass blocking. Last night showed our inability to come back from being behind by multiple scores. Looked like an old wishbone team trying to pass in desperation. By the way, on the late interception, who didn't know the fade was coming?

Stunk of desperation.
