Our Early Season Ghosts Caught Up With Us...

All of the weaknesses that cost us early in the year came back to bite us here...

No Hardy was possibly the biggest loss. Addison was abused multiple times in pass rush and gave up a TD in coverage.

The offensive line, namely Bell was right up there in biggest weakness. I've never seen a guy give up as much as he does and continue to go unchallenged for his job. That has to change this offseason.

WRs... multiple drops, no fight for positioning or the ball from several guys. Only guy the could really create space when manned up was KB because of his size.

We forgot about these weaknesses in the euphoria of our winning streak, understandably, but they were just too big to overcome.

Hopefully Ealy pans out, but instill don't think help be as good as hardy, but WR and OL, namely LT, absolutely have to be addressed with urgency. If our first pick isn't one of those positions, I will poo a brick.

Hopefully Ealy pans out, but I still don't think he'll be as good as Hardy, but WR and OL, namely LT, absolutely have to be addressed with urgency. If our first pick isn't one of those positions, I will poo a brick.

Yea we just did not have the talent to beat SEA. Its why I was really pulling for Detroit to beat Dallas. GB would have been a much easier match up with our weakness. Our team was a patchwork and we made it all the way to the divisional game. Not really all that bad considering out talent.

Agreed. I'd throw Safety as a priority as well. Boston was ABSOLUTELY abused tonight.

Boston definitely had a tough game, and I thought about that when posting, but I believe in Boston long-term. Harper should be replaced though because he is a liability physically.

No doubt, our S and LBs were attacked in coverage tonight.

It bothers me so much that we will likely need a DE. Ealy does look promising but you can never tell with that position. We need a safety badly as well . Harper and Boston are like complete opposites of each other and both are still bad.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean, no I’m not going to panic when he got 2 Qs and looked great in 1 and looked not great in another (let’s not mention the drop).    Yeah we finally have a team that would be considered average offensively around him. Let’s roll this season.

      The woe is me everything but Bryce sucks mantra is stale af my friend. Look nobody here is going to argue with the fact Frank Reich was not a good head coach. At the same time. Bryce Young is now in his second season with his second coaching staff and a handpicked young offensive head coach who has been known for working with QB's such as Baker and Geno. As far as the offensive pieces around Bryce we have the 4th highest salary cap allocation (that might be even higher now after the new Moton deal) dedicated to the OL in the entire league. We have 2 first round WR's one of them 8th overall the first time we've ever selected a WR that high in franchise history. And the fact of the matter is Bryce Young did not have a good preseason. It's not the first time it's happened either. We all hope to see he and the rest of the team flip a switch in week 1. But we should all be able to agree that the offensive performances we've seen from the entire QB room (Bryce included) in preseason was simply unacceptable.

      We have seen Bryce play… what… 9 games with AT BEST what one would consider NFL average WRs? You just can’t see the forest for the trees and keep going back to your lazy take of revisionist history.    he looked AWFUL Y1 with the worst coaching I’ve ever seen in the NFL and one of the weakest WR rooms I can recall. He looked awful first half of y2 and great second half of y2 with average coaching and average skill position. I don’t know where this elite talent argument even comes from.
