please PLEASE figure out the time management. Time outs and going into the half. Against the hawks or rams, that's just not gonna cut it. Someone's gotta figure it out.

Ain't learned it then, ain't learning it any time soon..

This will be an EZ win for us as long as we avoid offensive plays that takes a while to develop... and avoid the UMBRELLA COVERAGE on D.

Low scoring game, but we win by 20!!

I think Kyle's time management has been WAY better this year.

What happened at the end of the first half wasn't on Kyle. The guys were just sloppy. Couldn't line up right having to burn timeouts and Jennings just exhausted and jogging. All bad combo.

Give cmcs carries to robinson. Dudes averaged 2.9 and 3.1 vs Seattle this year.

Robinson was near 4 and over 4 in both games.

Cmcs cooked as a runner. Just let him play the slot.

Yep CMC at this point is better suited in the pass game. As a runner, as soon as he is touched, he goes down.

If you don't run CMC then it becomes obvious, by which RB is in the game, when we're going to run or pass. Playaction with CMC also becomes far leas effective

I think the CEO as HC model can work with the right coach. It will always have the weak point of being heavily dependent on having two high quality coordinators.

The Eagles went to the SB with Shane Steichen as OC and Jonathan Gannon as DC. They both left and the guys that replaced them were crap. Last year they had Kellen Moore and Fangio and won the SB. Moore left to coach the Saints and the offense fell off a cliff this season. Any OC worth a damn outside of Josh McDaniels and maybe now Daboll will get snatched up quickly after the slightest bit of success.

I like Kyle being the offensive system and scheme so OCs can come and go and little changes on that side of the ball. If he could just find a lifer DC he'd be set.

I'm always gonna be in favor of having an offensive minded HC in today's league. The CEO as HC thing has worked (Harbs bros) but overall it's too dependent (like you said) of the other coaches and the possibly of being poached yr after yr. there's simply not enough good coaches to keep cycling though them.

Philly will end up spending the cash for a legit OC and will improve. I don't know how long Nick has as the HC there though….I don't even think he would be some massive get as a HC elsewhere if he was free.

He can't win big games that matter. Pay no mind to yesterday.

IMO every single fan base complains about their team's time management…the only reason you think it's a Kyle thing is because it's your team. Go to other fan forums and you will read all of it.

folks also gotta understand it isn't just Kyle, he's got half a dozen other coaches and others telling him if he needs to challenge something, go for it based on their analytics team, calling TOs and how much time to run something etc etc. a ton of that stuff is relayed to him…It's not just him.

I said it before the draft last year. Just use CMC as a RB in the redzone. Use him as a receiver between the 20s

It happens when you have a bunch of reserve players and guys that haven't been playing all yr as well…it's crazy to me that we've been penalized so little this yr with all that constant turnover.

I'm old enough to remember the Kyle hater crew being all up in arms about penalties and that being solely a coaching issue. crickets now

I'm all for changing it up a little, however Seattle has the best run D in the league right now at 3.7 ypc

I'm one of CMC's biggest fans but I agree with this. Although unlike many I quite like BRob. So could that be how we start next year?
