    Oh it's absolutely a team effort from the owner's box on down to the field.

    Football and Basketball two completely different sports to compare in regards to coaching.

    So if those two plays were rpo or audible that Watson saw, who’s to blame then?

    LOL, you of all people want to call someone else idiot? I clearly understood where Bob was coming from when he made that remark. Now, if you happen to agree with what he said that's your perogative. As far as I'm concerned, ANYONE who continues to believe that this owner and his organization have the fuzziest clue as to what they are doing - they are the ones who are "mentally deficient".

    Clearly you don't understand and that's why you've been drooling all over this thread with your bigotry accusations. I'm just asking you to stop embarrassing yourself and stick to more relevant conversation.

    The worst thing they did is what damn near everyone thought was the right thing to do at the time. That's always the trouble with making decisions, even if you do what everyone thinks is right all of those same people who agreed with you will show up to b**** if it's the wrong choice.....and all of those people would have b****ed at the time you made the decision if you had done anything else.

    The coach's fault for telling Watson not to do that dumb ish again.

    Maybe it's not fair but I always place optimal blame on the coach. I did the same with McHale. Harden used to do this dumb thing under McHale where he'd dribble...dribble...driblle....3 seconds left...pass off. People used to blame Harden for this and certainly, there is some blame to go there to him...but he doesn't do it anymore. In fact he's played better under MDA and I certainly feel like there's a reason for that, it's not a coincidence.

    Just like it isn't a coincidence that Andy Reid's QBs always shred and dominate.

    Coaches are there to correct such mistakes. If Watson audibles to that BOB should have told him to not do it again in this situation.

    0-16 would probably get the job done. That’s just not going to happen however. We probably have the roster and schedule to get 10-12 wins but BoB will set you back at least 2-3 wins due to lack of preparation. 8-8 sounds about right and maybe enough for an ownership stake.

    We play the Bills, Browns, and the Colts twice. Also the Jets, and the Cowboys.

    We will still win probably 7 games.

    100% O’Brien and the coaching staff need to be held accountable, but I still won’t excuse the players mistakes either, including Watson. A gold turd is still a turd, his numbers were solid but he also made some dumb mistakes. Again I hope he improves and learns from it and becomes the QB he has the potential to be but right now he’s not there and those making excuses for him and anointing him the savior aren’t doing him any favors.

    These titans are probably worse than all of those teams. But I think 8 wins is pretty likely.

    The best we can hope for is that he's finally gotten enough snaps to where the bad plays are behind him and he's back in regular season form. There's no question that BOB is putting him in terrible positions but he was able to overcome BOB's terrible coaching last season and he might be able to do so again.

    He’s played 7 games. The MVP talk may have been premature but it’s obvious that he’s talented.

    No Watson made some pretty poor decisions... BUT he is young and I don’t think he is getting the kind of help from the staff he needs. Look at who Mahomes coach is and it isn’t a coincidence. I just really hope he doesn’t learn bad habits and is ruined by the disaster staff.

    That’s right... back to mediocrity... that warm safe place for the franchise.
