So what is it with this defense giving up a lot of these 4Q points?

As a fan I think I'm overly harsh on my own team to due to watching then closer. I knew we were bad but seeing how much further ahead we are than the Packers and I hate how the Packers waste clock I'm now livid.

He's not getting fired mid-season, and nobody on this coaching staff would do any better. An OC upgrade is an offseason move.
People still think Jim Caldwell is what sparked the offense back in 2012. Except if you asked literally anybody to explain what he did to give the team that spark, you'll see a person making a face full of utter bewilderment and glazed over eyes stare at you like you just asked them to explain the meaning of the universe.
And by about mid-2013, everybody realized it wasn't true.

Well he gave defenses a new wrinkle. He actually put Boldin where he was best suited, in the slot, and didn’t force him to run constant go routes

Jacksonville pretty tough to run on, and Drake isn't the kind of back that's going to make a lot of people miss in the open field. He'll get what's blocked for him and that's about it.

I have fun with the idea that he should be fired and I absolutely think he should but in the off season. Unless you did it before the bye and had someone in house that can make a few tweaks and work on it then it would make SOME sense.
I'll say this, if we don't have a contract with Lamar at the beginning of the offseason and Greg is still the OC I think there is going to be issues.

We are the most passionate fans on planet earth. Until we lose.. then soccer is officially gay again lol
I agree, he's not getting fired mid season, but I would be on board for giving James Urban an interview. I'm not sure who is going to be available this offseason so I'm not going to say outright that I would hire him, but I'd consider him.

Why does Lamar look so unhappy? I'm a little concerned going forward regarding this.

Pretty much. He's similar to Freeman and Murray from the standpoint that they usually go down upon contact. Same applied when we had Forsett. I know nothing about this RB class, but if we don't draft one in the mid-rounds, I'm gonna be looking at EDC sideways (not that it matters to him but still).

Depending on how the Lamar situation shakes out, I'd say its no better than 50/50 Edwards is a Raven next year. A $5.6M cap hit is pretty big for a rotational, complementary RB. And he'll be 28 and off a major injury.
Agree that the RB room on this team could be shaken up quite a bit next offseason. Dobbins will be back of course, but Hill and Drake are both UFAs and Edwards is pricey.
no guarantee nothing will come of it
but what is definitely guaranteed is that if this does happen it's not happening until after our season's over
so all those wishful thinkers hoping this might lead to a midseason exit, are not going to get their wish
