So, as we begin our sofa Coaching seasons, lets take a look at the upcoming top Wide Outs we (most likely) have to play against in 2018 

Mike Evans x2

Julio x2

Michael Thomas x2

Antonio Brown

Jarvis/Gordon

A.J. Green

Odell

Alshon

 

 

Not to beat a dead horse, but I would say if Ron and Hurndog 2.0 don't seek out players to bolster a weak secondary, we have settled for a losing/almost good mentality.

Hit me with your best takes.

    I am not sure I am willing to decide how our season is going to unfold yet. I may wait until the draft is over before making the decision to jump off the ledge, or not. But that may just be me.

 

    Also, I am willing to bet that Rivera, who is probably as competitive as you can be, and whose livelihood depends on him being successful. Is going to just settle for a "Losing/almost good" mentality. But again, that could just be me.

 

    Just let that fear of the past go. Pretend you have a pen. Now take that pen out of your pocket, and hold it out in front of you. Now... let it go. Poof, there goes your fear. The past is meant to be learned from, not to be feared.

Thank goodness the draft is so strong in secondary players and we don't have to face these teams with a safety group of senior citizens...

Now lets compare our WR core with those teams.

Even if you get Ridely it still won't be better than those teams...  Ridely is no Julio, Evan's, Thomas, Brown or OBJ.. At least we can have a comparable secondary to stop those teams .

You don't stop those WR's.lol

Ridley/Moore are not those WR's, but they can give us another solid threat for Cam. The more weapons the better our offense has to keep up with these elite offenses in our division.

We can have the best defense in the NFL, we still need to outscore the Falcons/Saints even the Bucs have a good offense.

It's time to give Cam some help on offense, we have gone far too long with him carrying the offense on his shoulders. Get the man some damn weapons!

No matter who you draft we still won't have the weapons to match these teams...

lol so basically you're saying keep what we have on offense which is not much and build a secondary to try and stop the Falcons/Saints/Bucs on offense?

Good luck with that. Even if we had a good secondary those offenses are still going to put up points. You don't stop a Brees led offense or a Ryan/Julio led offense. Get Cam some help on offense and we can be at the top of the division with those teams.

Otherwise we are going to struggle to score points all year.

Might have to add Ridley and Moore to that list if Ravens/Cowoboys go WR in round 1.

I will say this tho, the last 3 winners of the South also led south in PPG.

Eagles and Patriots were both in super bowl and finished 1 and 2 in PPG last year.

In 2016 the Falcons led the league in points and were in the super bowl. The saints finished 2nd and the patriots led the AFC at 3rd overall and won the Super Bowl.

In 2015 We led the league in points and were in the Super Bowl. 

14 the patriots led league in PPG and won the Super Bowl 

13 the Broncos led the league in PPG and made it the Super Bowl

Having the ability to score points is never a bad thing and could easily be argued it’s more important than a good defense. After all teams build around a QB first and foremost for a reason.

You have a better chance at stopping them with a top 5 defense than you do of getting in a shoot out with a offense that isn't as good as there's is...

We would have a great defense if you add a good secondary.. A great defense beats great offenses most of the time.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      We had a very favorable matchup our o-line manhandles theirs. Even Etienne looked like he would have had a great game on his limited rushing opportunities.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I think that's part of the problem, he's spreading the ball around too much, many of them are the first read play calls, and on top of that, a large portion of them are purposefully called screens or other short passes. I just looked, the Cardinals are the only other team in the league right now without at least 3 players with 100+ yards receiving so far this year, with the majority of teams having 4 or more.  And even then, their #2 right now is McBride with over 200 yards. Our 2nd leading receiver this year has 108 yards (albeit with 4 more players with 82 or more). On the surface, that might not be as alarming as you might think, but when you add into it that Bryce is currently 6th in the league in pass attempts, and it's even more alarming that he hasn't gotten a 3rd player to 100 yards so far and his second highest is only 108. XL has 39 yards on 18 targets.  Renfrow has 82 yards on 24 targets.  Tremble has 87 on 16 targets.  Sanders has 92 on 14 targets. None of those are good enough, so why aren't we calling more plays with T-Mac as the first read and forcing the ball to him (and again, that's not me wanting my guy to get more targets, that's me wanting more targets for the only productive pass catcher so far this year, I'd feel the same no matter what that player's name was). All of this is why I have issues with Canales' play calling.  How do you have a player who had 73 yards in the first half and then you only give him 1 target in the 2nd half despite playing from behind the majority of that time? You can be happy about the win, happy about Dowdle getting 200 yards, but in a game where your QB threw it 30 times, I can't accept the above sentence in the same breath, that's just terrible play calling, which is on top of the already predictable play calling in general, which is also on top of boring play designs as well. Add it all up, and THAT is why I'm unhappy even after a win, not because "my guy" didn't have a bigger game.
