Both sides of the ball suffered significant injuries. However the Dolphin game to me showed what Staley is capable of scheme wise. We were all convinced Hill and Waddle would run all over this team. No Bosa and basically no DTs. I never saw any offensive scheme changes with Keenan and Mike missing sporadically. Just the same old stuff over and over.
The offense had more significant injuries this year with Keenan, Guyton and MW all missing significant time, Herbert injured and Slater out. There were several games with only Ekeler as a playmaker. Still, Lombardi was terrible and I’m glad he’s gone but let’s not pretend that the defense was a bright spot. In 2 years the defensive genius hasn’t made any improvement to run stopping or overall defensive production. Let’s not be fooled by a 4 game streak against poor teams. They gave up a 27-0 lead
Nobody that follows this team closely seriously thought we would be fired, did they?
Nope. With the way it ended, we knew that Staley would be here in 2023. While lot's of guys wanted his head, there is no platter to be had. Now I am glad they are looking for an OC sooner than later. Pre FA and draft will make this person more involved with his tools for 2023 and beyond (I hope). Just get someone that knows Justin can sneak the ball for a yard rather than run some idiotic complicated motion, reverse, double XY whammy bullshit.
We don't need to be complicated.......just regularly efficient.

I would like to see Brandon give up defensive play calling duties and let his DC run things.

No. I agree with you. Sean Payton was a pipe dream. Even though I’m still pissed at several bonehead decisions he made, he kept the team motivated through the injuries and deserves one more year with a new OC.
Replacing Lombo should be a layup in terms of improving the team.
