Yea we have some skill players for sure and an OL. We just need a QB and a new competent coaching staff and we’re ready to compete.

YGM is a massive bust

GOOD: run defense

BAD: pass defense

Checks out

The Horn INT was nice but Mariota was chucking up freebies all night we should have had 3 or 4 more. Overall to have invested as much as we have as of recently into CB while throwing crap at the wall at QB with these results is just inexcusable. Fitterer's seat should be warm.

We have got to get a good tight end this offseason. Wouldn't even be mad if we drafted one at the top of the 2nd round. Ian Thomas is horrible. Which is not his fault... the Panthers stupidly paid him way too much money for no reason - he hasn't shown any discernible skill

He's a decent rotational guy. Any thoughts of him being a full time starter should be gone.

Both WR Terrace Marshall Jr. and WR Laviska Shenault Jr. Had good games against the Falcons.  I hope they are used more in the offensive game plan going forward.

A good tight end could go a long way to helping the offense.  Tremble looks decent so far but isn't a premier pass catcher, and top end tight ends put so much pressure on a defense. Outside of QB itself, this seems like the biggest need on the offensive side. I wouldn't draft a TE ahead of a comparable pass rushing prospect, but that's my only real caveat there.

If our DEs could tackle and our DBs catch a ball, this game would have been a blow out.  Too many dropped picks and whiffs on sacks.

Tremble looks below average, imo. I like the guy, but I don’t see him as a long term starter. Good depth piece
