I was at a sh*tty bar today with all Pittsburgh fans screaming their head off every time that overpaid RB that used to play for us ran for 3 yards, so my viewing conditions were not great. Therefore I couldn't really tell who was in on each play unless they showed better angles of the plays on replays. Did Norwood play much outside of the INT play? Did he have any other targets before that? That was a horrible horrible drop that should have been a TD (thankfully Philly didn't drop that TD either, I was worried there) but I gotta give him credit for sticking with the play and running the DB down and getting the forced fumble. Still have a lot of hope for this kid. And once Funchess comes into his own and we get KB back our WR group could be very formidable with KB, Funch, Philly, Ginn and Norwood. Discuss.

Our passing game is gonna be a lot like Seattle's this year. Somebody just step and make the play when their name is called. Nobody is gonna get close to a 100 yds in a game outside of Olsen but he will doubled all season so whoever is getting it thrown their way has to make a play, that will determine offensive success.

No doubt.  They guys made the plays when they needed to.  Just made it hard to watch at times.

All our receivers are going to have to do better. Once we get to the meat of our schedule, we are not going to be able to basically cruise to victories on glorified cruise control because better teams will score more points.  Lord forbid that we are forced to play from behind because we need the pass to set up the run as better teams are going to respect our passing game less than suspect teams like the Jags and Texans.

I agree. I'm kind of disappointed in Funchess. I know he's a 2nd round rookie and they all won't be like last year's draft class, but still. 2 catches in 2 games is disappointing to me. Hopefully he'll continue to improve throughout the year. And Ginn is just way too inconsistent. But you gotta give Philly some credit. He had a solid game against a good secondary.

    • The defense is 28 out of 32 in salary cap allocation for 2025. We have a ton of resources tied up in the offense including the highest paid OL in the league multiple 1st round WR's and multiple recent draft picks across the offense at TE and RB and we have two 1000 yard backs. Bryce and company couldn't get past Tyler Shough and his crew in 2 games. That's all there is to it. You can spin it and put the entire onus on the defense to your heart's desire it doesn't change the fact that this is an OFFENSIVE team now. If you want to argue that we should revert back to a defensive identity as we have been in the past which has brought us success then I will agree with you on that. But as it stands the onus is on the offense because that is where we have invested through the nose. Dave Canales and Bryce Young need to do a hell of a lot better than they have against the rebuilding Saints who without us should only have 2 wins this season.
    • Bryce is not trending up. He is the same QB he has always been. Bottom of the league in most categories.  If Canales thinks he can build a contender with Bryce then he is a bigger idiot then I thought.  Offense next year will have the same issues and be just as inconsistent as it was this year.  We have seen Bryce’a ceiling and it is 175 yards a game and that is not a QB you keep around as your starter. That is barely a backup.   
    • Looks like Darnold should have had at least 3 picks. That'll get ugly in the playoffs eventually. Can't deny his physical talent though. You either have that or you don't. Mike Macdonald is a legit coach.
