Dam that’s pathetic anyone think we make a play for a WR by the deadline.

I sure hope so. That number 11 does not need to be on the field at all. We need help.  If we can trade for a WR and get Cam back we might be ok.

Lots of room to overreact then come back to earth after this game. I still think we need another receiver though. Defense wasn't prepared for Shanahan and looked like it looked against Pitt last year. We always have games like this, though. But yeah, unemotional observation is the QB situation will sort itself out, we need someone to play LT, and another WR

Ass beatings tend to make a fanbase over react.....with this team it's a trend. A few good games over bottom feeders and then the ass whippings begin. Seen this movie before, so why all the surprise when it keeps happening. 

How many seasons has this been going on???....

That's how many offensive yards we generated today outside of CMC. Like we were with Cam at his best, we're back to being entirely reliant on one player on offense.

Exactly.  This is my biggest takeaway and concern on offensive.

The absolute gashing on run defense is my biggest concern on that side.

Those are major, major issues.  Losing sucks, but unless we can fix those things the season will spiral

    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
    • 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.
