    And it's true...


    I think Steichen was as disappointed with Minshew this season as I’ve been. He was just so limited, and he played like 2021 Carson Wentz against the raiders with the playoffs on the line. Overthrowing or flat out missing open receivers. Not making “gimmes” as Ballard put it back then. 1-11 on third down is not a team problem. It’s a qb problem.

    Absolutely no way with the playoffs on the line do you bring the backup backup running back in and throw a pass to him.

    Jeesh not only do you not go with Taylor but you also left Moss on the bench.  It was 1 stinking yard!  I wouldn't have blamed

    Steichen in the least if we ran there and got stopped.  We'd been giving them the business on the ground for much of the game. 

    We got too cute in that moment.  Yes Goodson was open, but #1 he's the backup to the backup so Im sure he was nervous, and #2 Minshew was missing most of his throws the whole game.  We had barely picked up any of our 3rd downs for the whole game.

    We should have lived and died with the run man on the 4th down play.  I don't like the taste of how we ended this loss. 


    live and die with #28 in this game. 188 yards on 30 carries and he watched an undrafted runningback drop the ball with the season on the line like the rest of us. Inexcusable. 
     

    Shane and this team overachieved this season. Horrible way to go out. But I’m hopeful that a rookie coach that is as intense with the game as they all say is loses sleep until next September for the mistakes he’s made and he comes out in ‘24 even better for it.

  3. 1-11 on third down. 
     

    that’s qb play, simply put. Appreciate what Gardner Minshew did for this team and he gave us a fighting chance. But he was not good enough throughout the season and certainly not tonight to lead us to the playoffs, let alone for any kind of playoff run. 227 yards running against a good run defense. 13/24 141 yards passing. With a true game managing qb, we are looking forward to next week. Stroud didn’t have much more than Collins tonight, but it was all he needed. Pretty good defensive effort, they definitely didn’t lose this game for us. Offense just didn’t win it. QB play has been a nightmare the last 3 seasons. Absolute nightmare.

    I don't understand why people are blaming steichen. The only mistake I see is wasting a timeout at the end. 

     

    Play call was fine. Bad execution by a backup QB and a practice squad running back. 


    You just said it. Bad execution by a practice squad running back when the best player on the roster (who had 188 yards rushing tonight) is watching from the sideline. You can try to justify that all you want, but it cannot be justified.
