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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
