    They were put in a lot of bad situations. Needed to make one more play and they couldnt.

    Oh wah wah wah, he is costing this team games with his DUMBASS clock management.

    This team is good enough to win it all - he needs to step up his knowledge of clock management - or get a COACH who can be in his ear....and let him know....

    Sometimes he just gets caught up in watching the game, and not thinking it....we need a THINKER too.

    With a team as young/inexeperienced as this…. They need one aspect of the team to have a few more grey hairs. everybody is “learning on the job”.

    He’s been subpar on several occasions this year. Halftime adjustments have been poor, sometimes just taking too long to adjust.

    But he’s still Demeco Ryan’s and he’s still a helluva coach. I just expect much more from him bc we are gonna need him to be a wizard to go where we wanna go.

    Impressive effort by our shorthanded defense, but Slowik and the oline costs us the game. No adjustments were made in the passing game despite Stroud getting touched all day long. CJ was never comfortable. We aren't getting passed the division round with our porous oline and wack coaching.

    They were missing players, played like **** and coached like **** yet it was close.

    Hooray for moral victories?

    Worst OL performance of the season. Even Stroud was visibly frustrated and upset with their poor showing. No gameplan adjustments by Slowik. Yes, CJ could have handled Green Bay's pressure better, but I blame the OL and Slowik far more than CJ. Demeco was out to lunch - I can't believe he didn't challenge that dropped backwards pass by Love.

    Mixon was great, one of the reasons why this game was close instead of a blowout loss.

    He has been **** at it for both years....HORRIBLE at it.....if his play calling is distracting him, then appoint another coach to help him out.

    Defense couldn’t get a stop when it counted and the offensive line is a dumpster fire.

    At that point, they should've just continued to run it. In bounds or out, throwing to the sideline 5 yards short of the sticks doesn't help you at all.

    Yeah agreed. Just because the defense doesn’t deserve much blame doesn’t mean they couldn’t have risen to the occasion.

    The Vikings are good too… and the team did show improvement against the Bills after that whitewash.

    This was a badly played game by both teams. They gifted 10 points and Love made plenty of errors that helped the Texans make plays.

    But clock management mistakes, play-calling mistakes in a close game, replay decisions earlier…. Those were all bad today as well, and coaches apparently need repetition to get better at it. Andy Reid was pretty bad earlier in his career as well.

    If DeMeco wants to be an elite HC in this league, he's going to have to learn clock management. And maybe more importantly, he's going to have to learn how to overrule your dumbass OC when he's making shitty strategic decisions. It's a learning curve, but this game was winnable and Slowik and Ryans ****ed us despite the incompetence from the O Line.

    I think Demeco needs to give up play calling duties so he can just be the head coach. He has committed three of the top 5 braindead game management mistakes that I have ever seen in franchise history just this season. You can't run the ball up the middle and play for a field goal and worry about making them use timeouts to try and go up 1 with nearly two minutes left. I have to believe he was thinking about defense too much or something. I refuse to believe he would make such dumbass decisions as this one, the end of buffalo game and the dumbass stuff they did before halftime against the Colts.
