The Kevin Stefanski: Two-Time Coach of the Year Thread

[The Wizard of Moz]

Over a large sample size Stefanski is a good play caller, and that's the only way to judge a guy logically.

I’d be more sympathetic to your overall point if the offense hadn’t completely sputtered since the Miami week

I'd find it much more apropos to discuss the failing offensive line than a bunk play. The OL woes are not a coin flip. And the shitt OL play is permeating and deteriorating the entire offense, not just one or two situational instances.

You know what I find most perplexing?

Lot of people talking about Wills, yet he's probably the 2nd best player on the OL right now. The C-RG-RT combo at the moment is TERRIBLE. I think the offensive line is running on empty with all the athletic offensive line movement we've done all year long, which is why they now have nothing left in the tank/can't move/have lower body injuries.

Everything sucks when it doesn't work.

Everything is awesome when it works.

Hard hitting stuff.

It's hilarious to me how this guy can do no wrong here.

You look at our team, our roster, our franchise QB. We are scoring 10 points, and 0 offensive points the last couple weeks. We are blowing games that should have simply been easily won where it was vastly clear we were the superior team (Jets, Falcons).

Then you sit back and watch others around the league, specifically the Lions, Jets, who are just incredibly out-performing the talent they have on their roster.

Jared Goff is throwing for 330 and 3 against a stout defense, and they're crushing teams.

There's a common thread here though and no one seems to want to admit it or even look deeper at it. Just continue to turn a blind eye. The results show exactly who the fuck we are. We are no better than our 5-8 record.

1 offensive TD in two games. I don't know what it will take for Kevin to be held accountable.

 

[The Wizard of Moz]

I don’t even want Kevin to be fired I just want it to be acknowledged he’s done a bad job this year and I’m tired of the fact that in certain fans eyes he is blameless in what has been a total farce of a season

Nope.

A lot of you claim to be process over results, yet think the process of putting your backup QB to hit a 30 yard shot on 4th and 1 is a good process.

I think relying on Jacoby Brissett to make a play over Deshaun Watson isn't a good plan.

Except this was a situational play and in this situation you NEED Jacoby to make the play work. Just like you need Schwartz on and end around and you need Harry Bryant on a TE Shovel pass.

People will get wrapped up on who the player is and the results but you needs certain personnel in order for a specific play to work. When it works it all makes perfect sense and when it doesn't we can all arm chair the results.

The game is the game.

What exactly do people want everybody to be mad at about KS?

Like????

Okay. Let's do this then. What's eating at you?

I'm telling you to simply not run the play. I understand the concept and the process that led to the play being called. And I'm saying the process is not a good process. We are leaning too heavily into misdirection and not enough into putting the ball into your QB1's hands.

Just so we're clear you're saying that the process that leads to a WR wide open in the EZ is not a good process?

Not much is eating at me with Stefanski. I think he's getting too cute when he has a franchise QB finally, but otherwise there are other issues at work here and a few that are necessary evils to maximize Watson as a QB.

If the QB throwing the ball is Jacoby Brissett instead of Deshaun Watson, yes.

I disagree. I don't think it matters who the QB is because the whole point is to get the WR open in the EZ and the expectation should be that any QB weather it's DW4, Jacoby, Mond, Josh Dobbs, or Baker Mayfield should be expected to complete that pass.
