Top 84th percentile baby! :trophy:
He must do a good job at gargling Vrabels nut juice, no wonder Vrabs doesn't wanna win a Superbowl he'd have to chop it off
Well sure, if you want to credit him with Henry breaking off 200 yard games and 2k seasons, with Tannehill playing at the best of his career.
I watched the games, the play calling was just the same with the same crappy routes.
This is simply not true lol, there's a reason why Lafleur and art got poached while Raiders fans laughed at us when we brought in Downing
If you took the time, you could find hundreds of posts of Titan fans laughing at GB and then laughing at Atlanta.
The first offensive series of every game is pre-scripted. The coaches work together on the script so they can identify opposing defenses and potential advantages. In both of our games so far, the scripted series marched us down the field efficiently and scored a touchdown. Then, after those initial series, when Downing was given play calling responsibilities, we were completely ineffective at moving the ball and only scored 1 touchdown in more than 7 quarters of play. This PROVES that we have the talent and ability to score at will, but Downing’s on-the-fly play calling is historically abhorrent.
Would love for Downing to go, if for no other reason than for people to move on to some other complaint.
...but we just got bullied. Like we did that pitch to Henry to the left early on 2nd down. And it got stuffed and everyone complained about the call. We had 2 blockers and they had 2 defenders. That should have been a big play, or at least a positive play. And our blockers both got beat and Henry did nothing to make anyone miss. There are no magic play calls that overcome everyone losing their matchup.

Good coaches give their players the best chance to succeed. Calling sweeps to the left right after your LT just left the game is bad coaching and constantly bad coaching decisions like that is why this offense has been stuck in neutral since Downing took over. By your logic, it wouldn’t matter who the coordinator is, the players just have to execute what’s called. Anyone who follows the NFL knows that couldn’t be further from the truth. Coordinators can completely change the success of a team.

How do you give "the best running back in the game" a better chance to succeed than put him in the open field with 2 blockers and 2 defenders? The default situation is 11 defenders, 10 blockers assuming your QB blocks. Which they usually don't.
A good coach would know he doesn’t have the blockers to do that and would also realize Henry is no longer the best back in the league. Not a single offensive player is excelling in this offense. When the entire offense is inept, it’s the man in charge of it.
At some point, someone has to block someone, someone has to run past someone, and someone has to hold onto the ball.
Ok so play calling doesn’t matter. Got it. As long as everyone does their job every play, you could hire someone off the street to call the plays. I don’t even know why these teams try to hire the latest offensive minds.
It doesn't matter last night. We weren't winning with what we put out there.
Ran through them like butter the first drive when everything was scripted. That proves we have the talent to score. Same thing happened against the Giants. Once our idiot of an OC takes over full control of the offense, everything goes to hell. Same thing has been happening since he took over. This isn’t his first time destroying a team.
Todd Downing’s offense is ruining Oakland Raiders once hopeful season
I read that when you posted it a few comments ago.
If you read the article, he’s literally doing the same thing to the Titans offense now. It’s usually not a good idea to re-hire people that got fired after one season.
But he’s vrabels yes man and vrabel can’t hire a legit coordinator since he wants to control everything
