Post-game thread: Rice v USM
Not quite sure what to make of this one. Lots of our previous complaints were dealt with.
1. We moved away from pound the rock, seemingly 180 degrees
2. Marshman got some burn
And we were very much in it to the end.
Whereas some previous losses we could hang on Bloom, this one exposed just how little talent we have on offense, especially with injuries. The WRs, where we thought we had big question marks, have actually impressed, while basically all other units turned out to be worse than I expected.
Overall, Bloom's stock keeps dropping. The pound the rock philosophy is clearly a failure, and the playcalling today shows Bloom admits to it. Why did it take so long to experiment? Why did Marshman come into such a critical situation with no snaps prior? All of these things point to a green coach who doesn't quite know wtf he is doing.
I went from being in favor of giving him another year -- I mean, we *are*, miraculously, legitimately in all of these games to the bitter end, which is an achievement -- but now I'm fine letting him go.
