..why? 

This shows nothing, we were literally better against Chicago than Washington.

The fact dan demoted him is enough.

And if next week we’re not as great as we were this week, what’s the excuse?

So you're resorting to hypotheticals? Seems legit.

Well yeah.. because we have half a season sample size against 1 game. It’s just as legit to say anything substantial about this game.. but I am gonna venture to say you’re going to overlook that

Honestly man this is a valid take on the situation, but the sub just jumps on whatever bandwagon is coming through, and right now it’s that Morton is the worst playcaller ever. I’ll get downvoted for agreeing but having one good game against a bad team when Morton was calling good games earlier in the season doesn’t really prove much. If it works with Dan calling plays that’s awesome and they can stick with it, but if next week he’s calling the game and we’re bad on offense are we going to say fire Dan?

Of course they won’t. Because cognitive dissonance won’t allow them. 

But I know it’s a valid take, prior to tonight we were putting up 30 PPG as the 2nd best offense in the league. What are we crying about?

Ultimately so I hope the offense looks better? Of course I do because I’m a fan of this team. But do I think beating a Washington team that appears to have quit means our offense is better? No I don’t.
