Worse opening game ever in our history?

This has to be the worst showing by this team in my memory and I've watched every game since inception. They couldn't do anything right. The offense is still bad and the defense could not stop NO until they put in backups. 

We have the 1st overall pick on lock right now and I don't see that changing. This team actually looks worse than last season and I didn't think that could be possible.

The expectations were a lot higher for the 2009 team but this performance was worse.  It’s a push 

QB-wise, 5 turnovers is worse than 2. The 2009 game had promise and expectation of success. I look at 2 picks and a 47-10 loss and think, well, that's probably not the worst it'll be this season.

The Delhomme 5 int game against Philly takes the cake. Followed the 4 int debacle against AZ in the playoffs. We were supposed to be good, that playoff meltdown was the abnormality. 

Instead it cemented our windows was nailed shut. 

That said this was embarrassing. Only 16 more weeks till Bryce Young can get the fug off this roster.

I think the Eagles had one of the all time fantasy def/st scores from that game lol

I think performance wise it was a contender if not the flat out winner by a length.

But not the most painful. This is just more of what we saw in our final two games last year. 
 

I remember losing Smitty against I think the Packers and I think it was the first game and even MNF. That is my worst memory that comes to mind in a minute. 
(I must have blocked that 2009 Philly game from my memory).

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
