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.

Defense is ahead of schedule but the offense is just as bad as it was

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.

After being upset as everyone else  I have a question going forward. I feel Christensen may need some work in the weight room, but did he show enough to possibly be a starter? It looked like the push Philly had came from between the tackles.

It is kind of funny to see some of the Sunshine Squad jumping off a cliff while I am being optimistic.

That’s a poo take. This is the NFL, not CFB. Any team in the NFL can beat us just the same we can beat anyone else.

The defense played winning ball. The offense did not. Time for CMC to get back on the field. SD has to play better, though the OL being porous does not help. 

[Fright]

Unacceptable when the organization believes we’re in “win now” mode.

 

Beating up bad teams to start the season really had the staff thinking we’re better than we are. We’re an entire oline and qb away from being a single playoff win team.

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.

They need leadership in the room. Rhule is just a mouth piece using buzz words but there’s no accountability that I can tell. They’re missing guys like TD or smitty
