Okay, it's officially time to panic...

I agree that the poor tackling is a serious issue that needs to be addressed sooner than later. Still, I'm not going to panic until we're not competing in meaningful games. Next week will tell us a lot about our team, or at least a lot more than a preseason game where the starters only played a few sets of downs will.

we'll address the mistakes, i'm sure, and do everything possible to correct them. But i think there's a LOT of positives to take out of tonight's performance, too - improvements over the first three games.

I think week one against the eagles will be much different than 90% of the people on this board are expecting.

Oh and the interception Matt Moore threw was absurd.

Seriously, he got hit right as he let the ball go. I thought Matt played great tonight, he made some outstanding throws and really seemed comfortable out there but also with a sense of urgency. He threw the ball down the field and made some plays.

i agree. the receiver (rosario?) was definitely open... it looked to me like the hit took a good bit of strength off the throw.

Yeah.. that interception was not Moore's fault at all. If anybody needs to shoulder the blame there, it was our 1st string TE from last year. King basically got mauled by the DE, and even with blatant holding, still got his ass beat back into the QB. That one was pure King

    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly. 
    • Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
    • It is goofy how some people hate Bryce so much that they're flat out lying to try and remain entitled to their pessimism. It's insanity. Most fans are realists and eagerly awaiting the season to see if we get pre- or post-benching Bryce to start the season and how much he is able to do with some young and developing weapons. Many of us understand that these young guys are going to have growing pains on the job as well as the new defense, but the fans with all of the excuses for why Bryce can't be successful are pounding the no excuses drum. Personally, I'd prefer the Keep Pounding drum.
