Coaching may not be up to par but this is on Ballard almost totally. He kept bragging about knowing how to bring in the ‘right’ kind of players, self-motivators that he and his staff could pick out. It seemed like a difficult thing to do, get inside someone’s head like that, and obviously he didn’t. He instead gave huge money to guys who obviously only care about making money-they got their contracts and don’t give a shit. Oh they will talk a good game but what they put out on the field says everything to me. I can’t stand this commitment to mediocrity this team has.

This doesn't compute. Your question essentially points out how unexpected and baffling that our O-line, particularly our three stalwarts, have played so poorly this year after having been arguably our biggest team strength since 2018. How do we then turn around and shit on him for paying those three guys when the time came?
He should've known better? That's the real mind-reading shit.
That's like saying the Browns' GM should go ahead and replace Bitonio, Teller, and Conklin this off-season because they're going to suck next year. Yeah, they've been great the past few years, but whatever.
By the way, once again regarding Ballard criticism, crickets when it comes to the defense or how he may have been right about our WR's.
