Do You Have Faith In Our Ability To Start A Game With Guns Blazing on Offense?

Am I the only one getting tired of us starting out slow and playing from behind this year?

What I've seen in many 4th quarters is that our offense absolutely can be explosive. But why can we not do this in the 1st half or 1st quarter. Almost every game we're starting off with so many stalled drives and punts while the other teams are finding ways to score.

Hell I'm not saying we're a bad team or bemoaning a great win last night. But why do we have to put the burden on Cam to be a superhuman and bail us out in the 4th quarter all the time?

Is there a way to solve this? I dont see Rivera giving Samuel or DJ playing time over Funchess and Torrey who have been rather solid as of late.  If it were me I would be letting Samuel split time with Torrey and DJ get the vast majority of the snaps in the slot so he can eat all game long. 

Do we need more deep shots early in the game? Giving cam more freedom to call his own plays and do the hurry up offense? Giving CMC more carries? 

One thing I've noticed is that CMC seem consistently start the games with a good run or 2 and Norv immediately abandons the run and starts calling these short passes that dont do much and lead to drives stalling. Like if CMC gets you 8 yards on first down, why the hell not run him 2 more times to pick up the first? Impose your damn will till they cant stop the run anymore. 

When I watch almost every other team in the NFL just bombing away downfield with huge explosive plays in 1st quarter I get frustrated man. Why are we unable to do anything like that? Why must we struggle with inefficient and inconsistent offense until the team is forced to go into desperation mode in 4th quarter? Can we not play with that same intensity and desperation for the entire game?

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm honestly looking beyond DC at this point. He's too green and is making too many simple mistakes. I think he's gone after next year. I think the intention in LV was to use Mayer and Bowers similar to Gronk/Hernandez in NE. That's never really struck me as Carroll's MO though after watching him for years out here in Seattle.  He's talented enough and I think he just got lost behind the phenom that is Bowers because he couldn't develop in Carroll's system. I'm surprised Bowers is used as much as he is, though they really don't have anyone else. TE's don't really exist as focus receivers in Carroll's offense. I live in the PNW so I've been subjected to a lot of Seahawks football.  Coaches other utilize their TEs. We should too. Tremble is OK, but he's always been a project as a receiver. Again, all this is of we could get him at the right price. I wouldn't pay a lot because we need to spend on defense.

      David. Hey, money talks.....it has been acknowledged that Tepper isn't shy on spending. He's had the NFL equivalents of used car salesman after used car salesman line up to grift him of a big chunk. Canales is one of them.  Until that changes, it's gonna be tough to build anything to last.

      Well it's who they tied themselves to for at least another year but i agree. They will be lucky to find a useful contributor but until I see the DC situation change I am presuming it's SSDD. Well it sounds like maybe in 2027.
