Offense is Terrible

[Squirrel]

Clausen was terrible. He improvised good but besides that he did nothing good yesterday. Poor time management batted balls at the line and Missing receivers. Dont believe the stats as they dont show the true performance. Should had have atleast 1 maybe 2 INTS.

[The Saltman]

I thought for a rookie he played like a rookie.

It all starts and ends with the big uglies. Those batted passes almost had me chuck my beer at the tv though...

I wasn't happy with several of his throws, particularly what should have been easy passes to Gettis. At least he threw a good screen pass, I hope we start using it a little more often.

Two of those batted passes was all Jimmy. He threw the ball flat and right into the line.

u cant blame that on the OL even though his pockets were pretty ridiculous. The guy needs to move around if possible in said pocket and throw in a fuking passing lane.

[The Saltman]

Like I said he is a rookie and will make rookie mistakes, but I bet you money Matt Moore wouldn't have looked any better.

It was not a great performance but then again he was in one of the loudest places in the NFL. The fact is we almost won the game. If we can build on that next we maybe we can get a win. I just hope he continues to improve.

[Jangler]

He definitely needs to work on getting his balls in the air. Other than that I thought he played like a rookie who just played his second game, with not much preparation going into them. He will look better and better each week.

[The Saltman]

Also at least our line looked better than the bears. If we can't get any pressure on the bears then there is a big problem.

While it true that the place gets loud it wasnt that loud for most of the game. When it did get loud he had trouble getting the plays off in time. But it still doesnt excuse the bad throws and throwing into the defensive line.

Hey, there was one incredibly creative play yesterday. Putting Stewie on the far outside and having him run down the sidelines to catch a touchdown pass was the first bit of actual creativity I have seen out of the team so far.

And let's face it, we're so danged vanilla in our play calling that Nawlins didn't even bother to cover him.

One new play, one touchdown. See what happens when someone uses their head and doesn't just pull another page from the 1989 Cleveland Browns playbook?

Overall, we were just lackluster. Couple of good catches from Gettis, one great run and a handful of good ones from DWill, and a heads up play by Jeff King.

Beyond that, Claussen played better but is still quite underwhelming, the O-line was unremarkable (which could be argued is actually an improvement), my 88-year old grandma could have converted more third downs than the team did, and Dwayne Jarrett looked like a total dumbass on the famous "Where did the ball go?" play.

And now Smitty will be gone for a few weeks, which might not be a big deal. Claussen couldn't find Smitty in a phone booth.

The best thing for this offense is Smith out, at least until he starts becoming a leader and stops being a crybaby. All he does is sapp Clausen of confidence.

I think that was just blown coverage, but whatever, sometimes you take what is given. But I hope Davidson noticed what happened on our next possession. The run game opened up a little bit, just because of one long pass. With this Oline you have to pass the ball to open up the run, So I really hope somebody besides a fan at home noticed this...
