i get the defense is young, but if there really is a standard for starting, that is not acceptable under any circumstance. especially with their missing starters; the stat is skewed by a few last minute drives too. and yeah you can say this year was supposed to be a rebuilding year etc etc etc but i think its clear that were passed that. im sure the team is upset by this as they should be, and it was probably a combination of play calling and play but all in all, a really bad showing. love the promise of the team, think theyre doing great, but i think theyre too good to treat them like little kids on this one

Happens when you leave the middle of the field wide open and very few players taking risks or jumping plays. Everyone's reacting a step late.

I'm not a fan of the rush 3 drop everyone else style but I'd be lying if I said I don't understand it. If we don't play that way we'd be getting burned a lot more.

Yea we cant get off the field on third down and we cant stop teams from scoring TDs.  Lack of experience and lack of depth.  

100% accurate. its a tough pill to swallow but thats whats going on out there. should make for a decent season but as a competitor its gonna be tough to watch the games against good teams cause well be good enough to be in it, but probably gonna lack that edge, which hurts my soul but it is a building process

i like what im seeing, in a season or two those excuses are gonna run dry and they have to stay really sharp in their recruiting process to avoid that noise and be privileged with the noise that comes along with being good

Yea it’s not good but it’s not like it was against some scrub team.  That is still one of the best coached, best quarterbacked teams in the league regardless of who they have at WR. Before Michael Thomas they never had any star receivers. They were always just made to look better because of Brees and Payton.  So while it wasn’t good at all, I can live with it. Still only 27 points and 7 of them were gifted by the refs.

      I consider last year Bryce's rookie year.....and I expect some regression/D adjustment in his second season in Canales' O.  Film is film.   So yeah, I agree....he won't be the dude that opened up the year week 1 or closed the door week 17.  We will get some dude in between it all most likely.  Which IMO puts us in a really awkward no man's land with Bryce.

      The question is which Bryce shows up game 1. Do we get week 2 (2024) Bryce, or week 18 (2024) Bryce?  I will say that his progression after the benching last year was amazing. He literally got better every game - sans Dallas. Like every week he did something we hadn't seen him do before. And it wasn't luck, toss it up for grabs plays like Penix did against Carolina. Penix was just throwing the ball as hard as he could in the direction of a receiver and hoping they'd make a play for him. What we saw from Bryce was different. Decision making, reading defenses, recognizing blitzes and where they were coming from, knowing his hot, avoiding pressure and manipulating the pocket, throwing with anticipation, taking shots downfield, and running the ball surprisingly well. Stats don't always tell the story. Did he miss some throws that he should have made - sure did. But the clutch gene is strong with this one. One score game and Carolina has the ball with 2 minutes on the clock - I'm confident he'll give them a chance to win more than he doesn't.

      I really like David Moore. He's a reliable WR. Smart, doesn't drop the ball and he's where he's supposed to be. Now, he ain't gonna route up a DB. He ain't gonna 50/50 ball a DB. He ain't gonna run by a DB either. But he runs a good enough route and catches the ball - definitely an NFL average WR. Every team could use a David Moore. Now if this receiving group can force Dan and Dave to let him go, then this team has come a long way since 2023. A LONG way. But I will say that Horn's speed is a big deal. They don't really have another guy with speed and quickness to blow the top off the defense and make guys miss in space after the catch, though he is still a rookie and hasn't done it in the NFL. If he and Renfrow push Moore out, then we might actually have something gents. Plus I see Renfrow as Thielen's replacement in 2026. I just don't think Coker is the reliable, move the chains guy like Thielen. Could be wrong.
