Kellen Moore Under Fire After Disastrous Week 1 Loss: "The Blame Starts with Him!"
After a devastating Week 1 loss, Kellen Moore is facing intense backlash from fans, analysts, and former players alike, as many are pointing the finger at the offensive coordinator for the team's lackluster performance. The high expectations placed on Moore’s offense were dashed in a game that saw missed opportunities, poor play-calling, and a lack of creativity in key moments.
“The blame starts with Kellen,” said one frustrated analyst. “He had the tools, the weapons, and the opportunity to make an impact, but the game plan just wasn’t there. The offense looked lost, and that’s on him.”
Despite boasting a talented roster, Moore’s game plan failed to ignite the offensive spark that was expected. His decisions in the second half, including the failure to adjust in critical situations, left fans questioning whether he’s the right fit for the job. With the team struggling to execute and the pressure mounting, Moore’s future as the offensive coordinator is now in serious doubt.
While many acknowledge that it’s only Week 1, the disappointing loss has raised huge concerns about Moore’s ability to deliver at the highest level. Fans are demanding immediate changes in strategy if the team hopes to avoid a disastrous season.
The next few weeks will be critical for Moore and the team’s future success—can he bounce back, or will the backlash continue to grow?
