Frank Reich seemed super depressed in the presser today. Not sure if from the Bryce injury or that his expectations have been lowered. Seems like a guy who was lied to or set up to fail and just trying to make the best of a situation. 
 

Not a Reich fan, just what I observed by his body language. Reminded me of new sales guy at work trying to explain how a product works for the first time.

Frank knew in that presser he is going to start Andy Dalton this week IMO.  

and Frank knows he has a mess on his hands in terms of dealing w/ those outside BOA coming.    That folks are going to be coming at the fired Indy coach soon.....with the same complaints.    and really early.  Which is a bad start for the Frank era.

Game is in Seattle this week. 

I wasn't talking about in the stands of BOA.  I mean, outside BOA.  So the media gets ramped on him.  The talk shows.  The online world. 

It's already frankly started.  And it's super early for Frank to be dealing with all the stuff that got him ran out of Indy.  Honeymoon window already over.  Which was SUPER quick. I think Frank feels that.

I hate to say it. It’s looking like we should’ve drafted CJ Stroud. F u c k you David Tepper!!!!!!

CJ and Bryce were always 1a and 1b. Just depended on what type of offense you wanted to run. I never bought into that clear cut #1 label. Reich wants quick decisions and getting the ball out within 2-3 seconds. Bryce is the better pick there. Unfortunately, these WRs aren't getting open on a consistent basis and Reich isn't calling plays that'll help them.

CJ is on pace to throw for over 5,000 yds. Bryce is on pace to throw for alittle over 2,000yds. That is pathetic for the 1st overall draft pick. Bryce better get it together or his well go down as a historic bust

Reich's teams historically start slow.  Although, the offenses have never looked like what we've sent out, not even remotely.   

My gut tells me they oversold how much of the playbook they've truly deployed with Bryce combined with the fact our receivers aren't doing diddly minus some nice moments from Mingo and Thielen.  Reich's playbooks have been far more nuanced and flavorful than what we've seen utilizing mesh and hi-lo concepts.  Rivers knew and worked his system better than anyone in SD and IND.  So that's just my gut instinct about Bryce.

Combine that with the running game having no explosion, you get a rudderless offense.  However, I don't think the OL is necessarily in shambles--we're not going to "ruin" Bryce.  He needs the reps.  

So first things first--I just want to open things up more and see some sort of pulse on offense.  We need a reliable speedy receiver.  Even if it's Dalton out there at QB.

We just don't have that.  TMJ is a 4.3 guy who jogs, then Mingo & Thielen aren't providing that and we cannot rely on Chark, Shenault is not a route runner.  It's such an obvious need.  All of Reich's offenses have that speedster.

Agree on the speedy WR element. It keeps defenses honest. Bates doesn't cheat down in the Falcons game if you have that guy. 

With all the big/tall first round receivers Hurney kept drafting for Cam's inaccuracy, things really turned around when Ginn entered the picture - well Ginn and a semi-competent offensive line.

Gotta laugh whenever people bring up “pace” stats when we’re not even 1/8th through the season.

Sitting Bryce isn’t all of a sudden going to make him accurate throwing the ball down the field. He has yet to complete a deep pass. The Falcons realized that which is what allowed Bates to sit on the second interception and why the Saints stacked the box and tried to take away everything underneath.

It’s not like both games were blow outs allowing our opponents to pin their ears back and come after the QB. Bryce just didn’t threaten the opposing defenses what so ever.

And don’t give me the no weapons BS. There are teams with less to work with on offense and none have looked this inept passsing the football.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
