We need to find some WR help

At the end, the wheels fell off everywhere. But the entire game it didn’t seem like anyone was able to beat their man. Every ball was being contested to some degree.

It’s like we have a team full of #3 receivers. I don’t know how we’re going to do it but we need to find some speed or we’re toast.

If you didn’t already knew we needed WR help, you haven’t been watching. This is just the first game of the first year, you can’t fix everything in one year

Oh, I watched. But also foolishly took them at their word that they were being “vanilla” during preseason.

Serious question... is it the WRs or the routes? I was super unimpressed with where the receivers were on the field all game.

Young had a couple shots where he had them for a huge gain and possible TDs and over threw them by like 7 yards. Don’t know if it’s because the WR route or just too much juice. I don’t have the free time to rewatch the game, maybe @USDepartmentOfSavagery can take rewatch the game for us because it certainly seems like he has a ton of free time on his hands. Let us know bro!

Man, that’s a great question. Not a fan of Reich’s play calling. Even in preseason when he handed it off to the other guy things looked way more lively.

I don't think there's going to be anyone to find at this point. It's not a great group, and most everyone knew it wasn't a great group, but there's always hope I guess. 

I was really really hoping Thielen would be our Next Proehl and Hurt our next Olsen. Thought Mingo might be sneaky fast and TMJ just needed his chance. It’s too early to say all of that isn’t possible but today was disheartening

    • Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.
    • When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).
    • We clearly need to add a veteran stopgap at safety one way or the other.
