Word is he has great character though.

I definitely will not give Ballard a pass on anything... He has made some bad draft picks too. Reich has straight up lost 3 games this year by being a stubborn idiot... AGAIN... You have an amazing running back but choose time and time again to go away from him when he is having success. This team is easily 6-2 under a Dungy or even a Caldwell. Hell I'd put money on even Pagano ia at least 4-4 at this point. Reich is just not a good coach. He will hang on to the job a few years while guys like Taylor are Leonard are wasted and gone by the time a new coach takes over.

Maybe just not z good play caller?

So I wasn't able too watch the game today, due to being stuck in O'Hare with multiple cancelled flights and re-bookings. Thanks American Airlines!

But, why were there so many incompletions? Was it dropped passes, inaccuracy, solid pass defense... all.of the above?

Was the 4th rounder from the year before Ballard’s pick? You know the one they cut because he apparently sucks and they wanted a vet. Of course this is immediately after he gets thrown in to a potential game winning situation because Ballard didn’t sign a vet backup. Or was that Reich as well? The shit OL play that got their often injured QB injured (again, with no backup), was that Reich too? How about Taylor and Pittman? I’m guessing those were all Ballard and guys like Campbell and Banogu were all Reich.

This is exactly the shit I’m talking about. You guys have your scapegoat and now everything is his fault.

All of the above. Dulin is just not an NFL WR. Wentz was high all game.

Yeah, Wentz was throwing high especially on the long passes. It seems he has some issues with the long throws.

Well said. I think Ballard gets a pass from a lot of people due to how god awful Grigs was. Ballard has shit the bed in at least 2 drafts ('17 and '19) and hasn't done shit in FA. Even in his good drafts he's completely thrown away high draft picks (2nd rounders on Turray and Lewis for example). Much better than Grigs obviously but still not great at all when looking at his track record independently.

Inaccuracy on many. Wentz wasn’t sharp today. But there were quite a few PI non calls. They were doing it so much I think the refs started to get gun shy.

we need pass rushers, qb and a left tackle

that doesn't even touch the secondary

this team needs a lot of talent added
