You're getting the years mixed up. We were talking about what you labeled a pedestrian offense in 2018. This is what I said in response:
"A good coach doesn't come into the Super Bowl then with one of the top 10 offenses in NFL history and get thoroughly depants'd. 3 points, the lowest total in history. He was totally unprepared.
OK, so fine. It's a learning curve. He's still got a super talented team. Next year, he misses the playoffs. They start stocking players, reloading, FAs, the most talented team in the NFL. And it almost happens again to them. They don't hit, they've got a putrid offense after putting up a ton of points, their QB turtles, and they are just lucky to play one of the worst SB teams of the decade with the exception of the Panthers."
The most talented team I'm referencing is the last 2 years. Not 2018. The power outage is the last 2 years. I even quoted ESPN+ this morning to show that.
And obviously I'm not basing this off just one game in 2018 when I'm talking about not only him missing the playoffs 2x in these years, but the last 19 games they had when the offense was not performing. There was never any question that they had a stellar defense with the best player in football, Ramsey at CB, but McVay has nothing to do with that. He's an offensive guy. And that offense has woefully underperformed in crucial situations since that 2019 SB.
As I said about ESPN+, they have McVay moving on from his innovation simply because it's been countered and held down. How many coaches in this league could do more with a HOF QB, Kupp, Beckham, Jefferson and Higbee? A lot.
