I’m so sick of
Our coaches showing loyalty toward their buddies and not firing them. CPR was way to loyal. Chizik just hires his friends, now Campbell is gonna die on having this joke of an offensive coordinator.

There's no play to call when your quarterback struggles mightily throwing good passes and your special teams absolutely bury the team.

Purdy was like me with my driver....all over the place. High, low, too much lead, thrown behind.

He only threw about 2-4 passes past 3 yards where receivers had any type of separation and missed them all badly.

He’s not a pocket passer, but we have him trapped in the pocket. He needs to be rolling out, moving the pocket, and running the football to be successful. Instead we trap him in the pocket where he isn’t comfortable, and he has inaccurate passing issues off his back foot.

100% agree and Manning is either not smart enough to roll Purdy out of the pocket, run rub routes to beat Man and create mismatches or he thinks it best to run a basic offense that’s easily stopped by Sun Belt teams

Even the ESPN crew just before the game started said something like "he's probably better when he gets outside the pocket..."

They see it.

Lol, how is anyone already calling for a coordinator to be fired?

Manning didn’t fumble the ball, Manning didn’t drop 8 passes, Manning didn’t stare down one receiver and throw into triple+ coverage when checkdowns were wide open, and Manning didn’t miss the long ball multiple times when his receivers beat the coverage.

The plays are there, the players now need to focus.

I don’t think the playcalling was a problem today. There were massive problems with execution. Coaches have some responsibility for execution too but a lot of this is on the players.
