Ahead of schedule

I'm not sure losing to bad teams at home is ahead of schedule anymore.

Our problems are much fewer and quite obvious, though. Think about how many problems we had in 2020 or 2019 or even 2018.

That and without a young, talented core. This one sucked but this is quite the assortment of talent to build from. The bones are there for an extremely successful team. We just have to add some more meat to those bones.

When your problem is coaching the talent starts to not matter....we had a sure fire HoF QB. Trouble is he's not a HoF QB....

Next week's the Vikings.

Darnold is going to get killed behind this line if CMC isn't there for an outlet pass (or some decent blocking).

Anderson will run around the field holding hands with a defender all day and not really trying.

Our defense will play lights out for half the game, but be completely lost without Shaq Thompson.

Our special teams will continue to be only able to get one thing right ... which thing that will be is to be randomly decided at the coin toss.

Joe Brady will completely forget about screen passes, unless CMC is here and then it's 85% of the plays called.

Fitterer will trade for another DB, setting a new NFL record.

Rhule was just out coached and our team out played. 

I want more. I'm don't praising mediocrity. 

 

To this point it's been a failure. Can it turn around? Sure, I hope so. But as of now they are failures.

I am not saying I don't share those doubts, I just think that the talent they are assembling in the time they have is quite amazing. Not sold on the coaches just yet. Some good, some bad. I am still in a "wait and see" mode on them. 

I just think it's hard to have a great deal of success when your offense is so hamstrung by extremely poor OL play and underwhelming QB play.

Needing a QB and three starting OL would require one helluva off-season. Maybe we need to calm down on trying to field an all-CB defense and focus on far more glaring issues.

great franchises build Oline and Dline and don't overpay for skill guys outside of QB.

If you can sack the passer, Protect the passer and can run when you have to run you win.

But doesn’t that makes sense when you delicate and entire draft, first in NFL history, to the defense and chase high end defensive FAs…?

Given that this defense shouldn't be giving up anything like the Hurts runs and the deep ball and not getting to him with their best OL out.

Did you guys even know that btw....their best Ol was out this game and you coulda fooled our guys.

I don’t really understand this mindset. Fitt has acknowledged that he’s kicking the tires on OL and other teams aren’t interested in trading even backups. Are you saying he shouldn’t be looking to improve other position groups until he can improve the OL and QB? That seems asinine to me. He got Gilmore for basically nothing. You keep improving the team as opportunities come available.

    • agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it. 
    • I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.
    • I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
