"It's the NFL. It's (injuries) not an excuse," Nixon said postgame, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. "We didn't have our quarterback (earlier this season). We won three games, so we don't wanna hear that. We came to play. They should've came to play."
that's true.
Our D has nothing to do with the QB though, and Packers weren't missing a top 5 future Hof OT and an all-pro WR.. so his comment is honestly pretty idiotic lol. We were down our top starter at every position on D..
S - Hufanga
CB - Ward
LB - Greenlaw
DE - Bosa
DT - Hargrave
I do think it's valid to question the call to start Allen over Dobbs. He never did anything to earn that in the preseason IMO. But he wasn't the only one who sucked. CMC had barely over 2 ypc and a backbreaking fumble. Feel like Jennings and Kittle were the only ones who came ready to play.
Still excuses dude. No doubt we were missing a lot of key pieces. Did the head coach put us in a position to win ? Did he field the best possible unit out there ? Allen over Dobbs ? Mason barely seeing the field while CMC gets 11 for 33 yards ?!
these term Shanaexcuses is becoming more and more apparent. Our coach puts us in positions to lose. I couldn't stomach watching that entire game, but I remember one drive where CMC runs for a chunk. Then Mason runs for another big chunk to midfield. Kyle then decides to PASS 4 STRAIGHT TIMES for turnover on downs !
is this good coaching ?
TBH I saw some good creativity. I didn't love every call, but I didn't overall have any issues with how he called the game overall. I definitely disagree with Allen getting the start though. We agree there. Feel we could've done better with Dobbs, although doubt we win still with the defense missing 20+ tackles..
But at the end of the day, my response was just about Nixon's comment. Dude sounds insanely ignorant. They act like it was some big accomplishment. I guarantee if we were healthy we would've smoked these fools.
