Our top two running backs are hurt, our starting QB from last year is hurt, we’re starting another freshman QB who has been hurt and is hurt again, Macon is probably out again, and Evans, another backup QB, was also hurt for multiple games. No, teams don’t usually have it THIS bad. And before you go spewing about how Barnett was pulled out anyways, we’re talking after 1 1/2 games. Let’s also not forget that this was a lot of these guys 3rd offense in 4 seasons. For Barnett, it was his 2nd offense in about a year. You seem to be expecting perfection no matter what. Everyone’s patience is on thin ice, you’re not special to that, but don’t act like Bell has all the pieces there to succeed right away when that’s not reality. 

I do not expect him to be perfect but I do expect him to be serviceable. He has been a complete and utter failure and the entire time Barnett was in we could not move the ball at all on offense, not even past the 50 yd line. People all said the problem with Bell and his offense was that CCS was handcuffing it by forcing him to use the senior BB and that KB just needed a mobile QB exactly like McCloud. The offensive line is another thing stated as having been the issue but the OL was better and then KB got to bring in his one and only assistant to coach the OL. They moved people from their natural positions and we suffered because of it. Maybe the entire team would not be hurt if we were not constantly trying to force fish to climb trees instead of adjusting the offense around the fact that they are swimmers. The offense is disgusting, the play calling is typically awful and predicable, we are not situationally aware, we find things that work and then abandon them immediately and we never seem to be sure of what to do or who should be doing it. Now I do acknowledge everything is not KBs fault but there most certainly is a portion of the blame that he shoulders and there are more seasoned OCs with schemes more suited to what has been successful here that absolutely could have done a better job than 113th, he needs to accept that if he has even a prayer of fixing anything.

Is it asking too much to score 14 against a team with a defensive pulse?

Apparently but it isn't anyone's fault it is just the unseen forces of evil that are conspiring against KB and his first season here. Once he gets an NFL line, Lamar Jackson at QB and Wrs that never drop any balls everyone will see him for the greatness that he is. Everyone knows that great coaches cant break the century mark in offensive rankings unless they have top 25 talent.

Bell made the offensive line worse. 
The rushing game has bombed and Bell is responsible. Gilbert has The same Oline and we were rushing for over 200 yards a game. 

Maybe Gilbert realized our QBs and receivers are lacking so he settled for the one dimensional rushing attack as the lesser of the evils. 

Maybe Bell can make a good looking offense with his own recruits, but his adaptation to our existing players has been horrible.

Dude come on. Did the throwin Mayoan bang your wife or something? We dont have an X's and O's problem, we have a Jimmy and Joe's problem.

I have seen enough of McCloud to say he is not a competent D1 QB (at this juncture) and even the times he does throw a decent ball our stone hands WRs drop the ball...

Hopefully we see some improvements to McCloud's game next year

This...a good OC takes what he has and works with it.  They dont force them to run something they cant. 

His play calling sucks. We look good running the ball then goodbye run and let's just pass all three downs for multiple series.

Except with almost the same Jimmy and Joes Sterling Gilbert did bad but still KB did more than 50 percent worse. BB looked like he was an okay QB before getting injured last season but this season he looked like he had never seen a football before. KB brought in an O-line coach and we reshuffled the line and they became swiss cheese which probably did not help our constant injury issue. To compound the issue we had the QBs that were just praying they will not get murdered stand in the pocket and try to run slow developing timing plays. KB plays a part in why his offense is abysmal and there is no way to spin away from the fact. Did the players force him to put out Evans to run up the middle for two plays that netted 3 yards to then bring in McCloud to drop back and get sacked?
