When Quinn's teams are rolling, they look unbeatable.

When they are struggling, his teams look like the worst in the NFL. 6 game losing streak in 15, 5 game losing streak in 17 and another 6 game losing streak this season.

Its like there is no in between with him.They are either really good or really bad - all in the course of one season.

Yup and the irony is he seems to do his best work in the playoffs, of which he has missed 3 of his 5 years.

To me it feel like hes more reactive than proactive when the teams starts struggling. He always figure it out but its always too late. Its the damdest thing.

Yep.  Like he goes into the game thinking "this this and that is going to happen" and we will do "that that and this" and we will takeover.  Then when this this and that doesn't happen he has this deer in headlights moment before it's too late to correct.

I think he tends to have too much faith in his players and ignores human element. How he's handled the Vic Beasley situation is what alerted me to it. You can't change Vic. But DQ thought he could and worked tirelessly to make it work. Sometimes, cutting your losses and moving on makes more sense than prolonging the inevitable.

Looking at the offensive side of the ball, here is a weird stat.  We have a 50.57% 3rd down conversion rate on the road, which is 1st in the NFL.  We have a 32.58% conversion rate at home, which is 25th.  It is by far the worst drop off of any team from away vs home.  Not much of a home field advantage I guess.
