“Another embarrassing finish with play calling that’s way too conservative. The offense has looked underwhelming for over a year. When will it change?”

“Darren, last week you answered saying it was crazy talk wanting to change the offensive coordinator. The two games we won this season were because of our defense. If this keeps going we are not reaching the playoffs at all. Thanks for the space to question and vent a little.”

“I don’t want to hear ‘if we did one or two things differently we would’ve won’ like the field goal. This was a bad 49ers team without Purdy, Kittle, Bosa, Aiyuk, and more. The problem is the offense, and if it’s not good enough to beat even San Fran, so how will we ever beat genuinely good teams?”

So, yes, this is a small sample of what flooded the inbox. And that doesn’t count what has flooded both my Twitter and Blue Sky timelines. No, this offense won’t be good enough to get this team to the postseason. I will say there is no one over in the football building that doesn’t understand that. There is nothing I am going to say to influence those out there; everyone is going to have their opinion and the frustration from the fan base is warranted given the three game results.

Here is what I have said about many coaches over many years: The head coach is going to do what they think is right. They have gotten to this point in their career because of a belief system, whatever it is, and yes, results will influence the thinking. Rarely is a coach going to preach about blocking out the noise but then make decisions based on the noise.

The Cardinals have to be better on offense. Gannon — and Drew Petzing for that matter — have said that repeatedly. How they get there is something they have to figure out. If you are waiting for Gannon to publicly proclaim problems, other than to say everyone has to be better and that it “starts with me,” you’re going to be waiting forever.

I’ll leave with this on the subject. First, for those who did not see it Sunday, this is Gannon’s quote postgame when he was asked directly if he had any thoughts on the offensive playcalling. “I have no problems with the offensive playcalling. I never will. I know exactly what we are calling. So if you’ve got a problem with that, you should look to me.”

Then, Monday, this is what he said on Arizona Sports: “I thought the best game that (Petzing) called was this one. … How we deem that is when we’re looking, when we’re calling (down the field) shots, what kind of coverages are we calling shots versus when we’re calling runs what kind of coverage structures are we getting? What are they doing? Are we alternating? Is it known pass? Is it known run? What are we doing on third down? Where are our plays at? I am very pleased with all of that. I think we definitely need to coach our guys up a little bit better, and I think we need to execute fundamental things that go into making a play work better.”
