4-7 in the month of November. There is something glaringly wrong with this team.

But it stands to reason.  Assume he's as clueless an OC as everyone here seems to think.  Assume he couldn't draw up a play to save his life.  Wouldn't someone like that be thrilled to accept ideas & advice from everyone?  Especially when he explicitly says that's what he's doing?

Does it? I don't think Hogan is clueless as a coach but I think it's more than fair to say he was in way over his as OC. I doubt he has all the tools in his toolbox to be a competent in that role at this time, and I think that's evidenced by how consistently inept the offense was last season. There also seemed to be a lack of adjustments or changes made to address the deficiencies and issues during the season. It's a big jump from position coach to OC; the latter requires a ton of knowledge.

From what I can tell, there was a glaring lack of cohesiveness with the offense this past season - with everyone involved. I have to wonder if that's what led to Collaros and Oliveira expressing their frustration during the season.

It's just very strange how it all played out. To be clear, I don't think it's all on Hogan. The Mafia gambling on a rookie OC during a GC-hosting campaign was pretty disastrous. All three of them are accountable for that miscalculation, IMO.

As for Jackson, he was brought in to help but then he missed TC. I also never got the impression that he had much involvement or input in the overall offensive system; perhaps that was a byproduct of his missing TC. Maybe I'm completely wrong in that regard but he seemed like a bystander more than anything.

The new changes will either lead to better times, or it will die anyway.

Oh, that's a relief. At least the powers that be are taking this existential threat seriously by addressing real issues.

And this surprises you??

This was one of my favourite comebacks.

We didn't leave early, but we did walk around the stadium to meet up with some buddies thinking the game was over.

I think about this often as well. That was the beginning of the end of Printers.

We do.  WPG has had a SY specialist for the entire Mafia tenure.  It's part of our M.O.  And teams with a specialist who is good tend to do better.  See: SSK with their unstoppable freight train.

If Strev is out half/all year and/or not re-signed then bringing in a Strev clone (but younger and with a good knee) is just what the doctor ordered.  Hopefully we can turn him into a legit SY super fast -- don't want failures on 3rd & 1 early in the season.

It might be a clean sweep of the QB room-not-named-Zach this season.  And I would be ok with that.

P.S. No way we roll without a SY guy, and no reason anyone ever should because the 3rd dressed QB is a "free/forced dress".  Why waste/risk that job on a RB, or your starting QB, or some other player?  Those guys have more important things to be doing.

That's not the point. The point is that we don't need our # 2 QB to be the SY player. We need to find a # 2 QB with an actual chance to become a starter in the future, not a place holder.

At the moment that would be Wilson. What we don't know is whether he will win the spot as # 2.  I don't think that is the case and he may not even make the roster in 2026.

He needs some professional help and I hope he / his family finds that for him.
