Time to hit the panic button

But then again our defense gave us a chance most games.  This year the defense has regressed to match our offense

What do you expect the D to do when we run the ball twice for 4-6 yards and then Bryce drops back on 3rd for an incompletion and we punt, over and over, and over....

Panic? We are what we thought we were. Most rational fans fully realized we were one of if not the absolute worst team in the league. 

Yeah.  I mean I thought we would see a play or two where we looked competitive but that’s not to be.  I definitely don't think panic enters the equation but someone on Mint Street needs to face a harsh reality though.  
 

I don’t think Frank Reich is a great coach but I don’t think he is totally incompetent.  Verdict is still out on Canalea but I can’t help but think the problem is just scheme at this point.  

Had to drive to Atlanta today so listened to the game on radio and I can’t count the number of times Jake used the word “disappointed” when it came to BY. Dude was being diplomatic because of who signs his checks I suppose, but I felt like he wanted to say this guy sucks so many times.

At some point Tepper has to accept the ego checking the league is giving him and humble himself. Until he gets out of the way and sees himself out of football decisions we are what we are. No one wants to work for him. Our candidate lists start where everyone else's end. If is what it is. We suck because Tepper has made this organization toxic.

Not sure if its scheme, but virtually every pass was some 2-3 yard crap.  Almost anything beyond that and it was picked or incomplete.  Personally, I think its just qb choice to throw so many short passes.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
