Well get used to it because this will always happen as long as you have Kubiak and Wade Phillips as your coaches. Reason being that they are fine coaches who can turn a bad team into a decent team but just like some other coaches in history (Chuck Knox, Norv Turner), they are boring, predictable, and immune to change or innovation.Fine post, my friend.
Therefore by the middle of the season all of their tendencies have been studied by the opposition and since they are stuck in their ways and cannot change they get figured out.
Look at Wade Phillip's track record, he always makes a defense great for one or two seasons then they fall apart. Kubiak is the most predictable play caller since Jim Mora the elder. If it is third and short, even if the run game is working he will call a pass, that is why Schaub ends up sacked on third and short more times than not.
Let's put it this way, if an idiot like me can predict what Kubiak is going to call then what do you think about the opponent's defensive coordinator? Originally Posted by spear88

As sad as it is, they are better than us on special teams and on offense, we have a slight edge on defense because of Watt.
I'm not really that mad or upset, this team was great because of their defense and running ability, once that went away, we're pretty much average. Still love our guys, though, they battled, they just weren't good enough.
I think we might and should win next week, after that, we need to focus on the draft, and focus on getting a new QB. We need to build around Watt and Kareem Jackson on defense....He was literally our best guy in the secondary this year..
Coaching changes are fine by me as well. But this year for the draft is not too great for QBs, we need Johnny football in 2014...
