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.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
