This is it for me. I'm not calling for Rhule's head, he gets 3 years, I think that is fair, he needs to have a chance to fix this. But, I've lost hope, sure don't see Rhule fixing this. So many things wrong.

Offense is, well it's horrible. One ****ing TD is all they could score, barely over 300 total yards. It's just bad. I know it's not fair to judge Holgorsen after one game after taking over in the middle of the season, but this offense didn't look any better than 2 weeks ago. The issues on offense are much deeper than a playcaller. Playcalling was never our issue, poor execution is. Our offense does their job pretty dang bad. Blocking, routes etc. are just not done well. QB play has not been good. Raiola looks like a scared Freshman out there, is easily confused, throws to covered WRs and misses open ones. OL has moved up to average, but isn't consistently good in the run game or pass game, just average, like the rest of the offense. A bunch of average players that execute poorly lead to really bad offensive production.

The defense is pretty good, but isn't a winning defense. When we need a stop, they can't get it. Really struggle on 3rd down. They just can't get off the field. They are good, but not good enough to win games.

ST's are just not special, they are average to bad. They don't set up the offense or defense for success, seldom give us favorable field position.

Overall, we just aren't a good team. We have questionable time out usage and overall time management. Unusual substitution patterns. So far in the Rhule era there are more questions than wins. He's got another year, but I'm doubting that it will lead to success, just to many things going wrong.
