Zig where the rest of the league is zagging - build defensively. We have a solid defensive unit, and a defensive coach could help turn this into a league-best defensive team, strong enough to hold the division for most of the next decade. This would also go a long way towards re-establishing an identity for this franchise. On offense, build power run for now. Bryce Young is bad, we know he's bad, but we don't know if he'll get better. Rebuilding the entire team to accommodate his numerous physical weakness just isn't a viable idea at this point. Focus on fixing the offensive line and receivers, and hope for the best, but this offense needs to transition back towards its strength - downhill running. If Bryce is this bad next year (that is to say, historically terrible), we'll be picking number-one with a quarterback we may be able to throw into a relatively good situation. Oh, and fire Scott Fitterer. Do that before anything else. Will this happen? Probably not. We'll get a scrap first-year offensive coordinator convinced he can be the one to save Bryce Young, it won't work, and Tepper will have learned nothing.

Blames this on whatever you want - but this is historically bad, and for the price we paid, unacceptable.

He's going to do this while refusing to admit that this team’s strength is defense, the defensive core is good, and outright dismissing the idea of a defensive coach in favor of whatever shiny new offensive coordinator he can convince to come here. And it will fail, and he’ll learn nothing.

And technically the Gilbert one wasn’t even a trade, it was signing a franchise tagged player

That’s horrific

Bryce Young has thrown one touchdown in the last five games

Bryce young has thrown one touchdown in the last five games

Bryce Young has thrown one touchdown pass in the last five games

I have never seen worse situational playcalling in my entire life, his playcalling has been absolutely indefensible all day.

Game over Fire thomas brown

Derek Carr is now up to almost 100 yards today

So much of this is playcalling today. There's absolutely no reason to throw on 4th and 1, we have 200 yards rushing

Does Thomas Brown have a moral objection to running the ball under center on 3rd/4th and 1 or something?

Thomas Brown you absolute moron

Love that sweep call on the 3rd and 1, make Sanders run 20 yards to try and get 1 yard

But hey, we have a point guard now

Bryce Young and Derek Carr have combined for 122 yards on 40 attempts

Can't win games with field goals

Derek Carr is 12/18 for 37 yards and a pick. There is absolutely no reason we should be losing this game.

Always has. This idiotic coaching staff is obsessed with the shotgun/pistol for some reason.

Great throw

Is there some analytics reason for lining up in the shotgun on 1st and goal at the 1 yard line? Because I can't fathom how dumb this is. It worked for Cam but he's a truck and it gave him time and space to elevate.

He'd easily be our number two right now.

Thomas Brown's obsession with the shotgun in goal-line situations is the stupidest horse poo I've ever seen
