It's crazy but screw it, fire Roman tomorrow and give up the play calling to someone else for the Bengals and the playoffs.

Well this is refreshing. Some accountability finally coming from Harbaugh

Agreed. Think we ought to bring guys in from outside for both sides of the ball imo. We're stale in so many senses.

I mean just try right?! But will never happen because Harbs probably believes that with Lamar things will be better. Sad thing is, they may be, but not enough to win.

Look at how well ZDS is doing in Minnesota, look at Judon in New England. We need a defensive coordinator who will let Houston, JPP, Ojabo, Oweh, and Bowser feast on QBs. This whole no pressure non sense is killing us in the passing game.
And it’s sad because I feel like we have some really good positional coaches (Joe D, Weaver, etc.) but the game planning and adjustment aspects on both sides have just been brutal
this is the kind of decision where we just dont know tbh
and i dont feel that strongly about either keeping or getting rid of him and making him 1 and done
whichever way Harbs goes id be ok with that - i think it's likely though that MM is here for at least 1 more year and he'll probably have to find a way to do more with less next year which is where his more passive philosophy and play-calling instinct may well pay more dividends (especially if we can finally create a dynamic multi-faceted offence)
but id defer to Harbs and not be mad either way
Roman on the other hand...

I hear you. I really don't want to see him work with less lolol
I felt like stephens was getting picked on

We got to try something, and yes I believe with Lamar things will be better and I still believe we can make a Super Bowl run when Lamar comes back with the way our defense is playing. Just man we need to try anything, the fact Harbaugh said it starts with the coaching, yeah it's too late now but we can give ourselves a better chance offensively firing Greg Roman tomorrow. The no Lamar thing is an excuse, when Huntley is built to essentially do the same thing, you can't call it an excuse.
some significant investment in freshening up a stale building
introducing some new ideas on both sides of the ball from outside the organisation beyond just position group coaches feels like it would be useful
just doesnt feel like we're maximising some of the stars we do have on the roster

He was but he held his own for the most part
i get that, and id like to see ojabo
just dont think this week was the week given the likely steelers gameplan on offence

It's SUPPOSED to be the same thing with Huntley, but he has a lasagna noodle for a right arm. He doesn't pass to open guys because he doesn't have the arm to get there.
I hate our coaches. They suck. But there's no bigger reason that we lost today then Huntley is awful.
This team is just poorly coached overall. Let's not forget we had a delay of game after a TO a week ago. Communication issues still continue. Red zone issues all season. I don't remember when was the last time if ever Harbs takes blame like today. You know things are bad, really bad when he straight up admits it.
They made the effort to get younger and fresh minds in at a lot of the positional openings before the years and even took that leap with MM at DC. Still think he should get another shot because I think that’s how we should be trending right now. But still wouldn’t shock me if this is a cleaned house almost of coaches. Gotta do something because what we’re doing isn’t working.

I think Harbs is fine HC and one we could win SBs with. But if you don't already have top tier coordinators, if you go too long without bringing in externals, it will definitely show and rear its ugly head. I think that's where we're out. Just stale everywhere. Wasting a very talented roster.
And teams don’t even respect the idea of a deep game against Huntley. They’re content to sit 10-15 yards back at most because he’s not pumping the ball deep with velocity. The Steelers should have had 3-4 picks tonight because the ball was just floating with any attempt at putting some distance on the ball. 20-25 yard opportunities were coming up 5 yards short when he was on the run. Arm talent just isn’t there
I feel this game may have been the tipping point. It should have been waaayyyyy wayyyy long ago but you can clearly see he's defeated. Big changes are definitely going to happen. Maybe not tomorrow but in the offseason.
