Stefanski and Berry got here in 2020 and promptly went to, and won, a playoff game with a roster they basically inherited from John Dorsey and a QB they didn't like and couldn't get rid of quick enough. Stefanski was named coach of the year for winning a playoff game for the Browns (even though he was in his basement when we won it)....

Since then they have had 2 sub .500 seasons and, unless something improves quickly, could be on their way to a 3rd in a row. And each year the excuses abound.

In 2021, it was Bakers fault, either because he sucks or because he was hurt, depending on who you ask. It was Joe Woods fault. We didn't have any explosive WRs. We got Beckham and the Baker/Beckham feud was all Baker's fault.

In 2022, it was because their coveted $230MM QB had to serve a long suspension, which they knew was coming. It was Joe Woods fault again. Our DBs were always hurt.

In 2023, now it's again because of injuries and lack of depth at key positions. We kept the wrong back-up QB. Chubb got hurt and we kept the wrong back-up RB. Jed Wills is terrible and the OL is struggling (with the same coach who was highly praised in previous years).

In spite of the fact that Stefanski is supposed to be an offensive (and QB) guru, our O has only ranked 14th in yards or 14th in points once since he got here (not in the same year). They have spent most of their time in the 20s, bottom half of the NFL. Situational awareness and playcalling have, at times, left everybody from novice to expert alike scratching their heads. Some of their draft picks seem to be working out, others not so much. Some of their trades and acquisitions seem to be working out, others not so much.

All I know is this, since they got here, our win total has gone from 11, to 8, to 7... and this year has been nothing but one drama after another.... from totally giving away the Steelers game, to now Watson is hurt, no he's not, he's going to play, no he's not, he was cleared to play but didn't, his "game time decision" 2 weeks ago is now so bad that he might miss even more games, so we signed and are going to start a FNG who wasn't even on the roster... to finding out that DTR is absolutely NOT ready to be the guy we thought we saw in preseason, but he's the guy we kept. now there are other key players who are hurt, and for whom we don't have a good back-up.

The longer Stefanski/Berry have had their hands on the wheel, the worse things have become. I said at the beginning of this season that this should be a make or break season for one or the other, perhaps both... and it's not going well so far.
