Are people finally accepting that we need a coaching change?

Well, here we are once again. A game that was within reach and honestly should have been won, squandered away at the end of the game because soft zone blitzes. Isn't the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over with the expectation that it will change?

Offense: Our offense is fine. Yes, we have moments where it struggles and looks incompetent. We are missing Evans and Godwin, and now Wirfs, but it is obvious that even with the injuries, our offense are overachieving. Our offense, with BIGGER injuries than the defense, is consistently better and more effective than the defense. So people clamoring that the offense lost us the game or whatever, you need to cut them a break because they've been in EVERY game since losing Evans and Godwin. The offense is going to have hiccups because of the injuries. With that said, why the hell is White the back we go to on that final drive? If you want positive yards from rushing, you don't put him in there. Coen (or Bowles if it was his decision to play for OT) had a horrible sequence of plays at the end that moved us backwards, completely wasting the gift of penalties the Niners committed. Unacceptable.

Defense: We gave up 413 yards of offense and Purdy was 25/36 for 353 yards and 2 TD. Our defense had their moments but they completed 70% of their passes. Our rush defense was better than it has been but we are not good defensively. Injuries have hurt us but once again it goes back to scheme. Similarly to the first ATL game, when the opponent is driving with no time, we have so much trouble defending the sidelines. They literally caught 3-4 balls and somehow got out of bounds. The one time they didn't, the receiver cut inside and gained an extra 10 yards to make the FG a chip shot. The defensive talent is what it is. On that Kittle TD, so many people criticized Hayes, and he has struggled, but how many corners can cover a receiver for 8.2 seconds? Purdy had 8.2 seconds to throw the ball. Even the best of the best will have trouble covering that long. The defense is struggling fundamentally and this is beyond the injuries.

Special Teams: Our punter sucks and our punt coverage is even worse. Nothing else to say except we seem to always have bad special teams.

Coaching: Coen had an up and down game. At times, he looked genius and other times got too cute and it hurt. But again, the offense has been more consistent this season than the defense. Outside of the Broncos game, we've scored 20 points every game. Outside of the Lions and Eagles game, our defense has given up 20 points. When we were driving to win the game, I knew Bowles was going to play for OT. Because what screams Bowles more than playing it safe. The Falcons lost to the Saints and a win would've brought us within 1.5 games of the division but we squandered it away. I just don't see how anyone can look at Bowles and think he is still the right guy for the job. He is now 21-23 in the regular season for us. How can you be confident in that?

Not sure where we go from here. We have a bye week and will rest. Hopefully Evans is back. Our chances at the playoffs have gotten significantly harder and I have accepted we might not make it. The only thing I hope for now is getting Evans his 685 yards in 7 games if he's back for the Giants. It's bad enough we miss the playoffs but we cannot let Evans' streak end. That's the one thing we've counted on for a decade and it will still bring us joy to see it. Anyways, next week is a chance for us to not have disappointment so let's enjoy it. Go Bucs!

Edit: Just saw that on our four game losing streak, we have allowed 15 TDs to opposing QBs and have allowed 75.6% completions with 0 picks.
