Shuld be interesting if we actually show any improvement now, whether it was actually Raye's fault or if its Singletary, or even just the teams' overall inability

Well, I think Raye was the obvious fall guy re: the cohesion issue...stuff like Week One shouldn't be happening at the NFL level, and that was pretty clearly on him.
But last week that seemed less of an issue, and it seemed more like the plays were easy to predict and prevent, and the players were just not executing, and I don't know if that's Singletary, Raye, both, neither, or what.
The other thing is, even if this change leads to opening things up some on offense, I don't see that as a natural fit for Singletary on a long-term basis, so imo either he or an opened up offense would ultimately have to go.

Still predictable as ever.

I just find it odd that the obvious weakness of SIngletary's team seems to be prep and adjustment, considering that's what he was all about as a player.
Well, that and the God thing, which has always struck me as potentially problematic.
But I'd actually say we were less predictable on offense this week, Wolf. Not really any more successful, but today was more about execution than calling, in my book. Smith made some really dumb decisions and/or wasn't making the same reads or running the same plays as his receivers in some important moments.
