Optimism Is Gone

That was the most disgusting loss we've had yet. I'm always gonna bleed black, blue, and silver, but I don't know that I can keep watching this heartbreak every Sunday.

There is no excuse for us to lose the way we did today. NONE. We lose by 7 or less to the best teams in the league (and could've/should've beat them), but we essentially get blown out by the Falcons? Pathetic.

It doesn't matter what our offense does because our defense can't stop sh*t. Chud is exposing himself to be a pass happy idiot with no sense of offensive balance. Coach Rivera calls timeouts when we don't need them and doesn't call them when we do. The defensive schemes and STs have no hope at all, it almost makes me want to vomit.

Today wasn't just a loss for today... It was a reminder that if we had any hope for the rest of the season, we shouldn't. We know we have a franchise QB, but little else. Yes, we have two of the top RBs in the NFL and two great TEs, and Smitty, but none of that matters because they aren't utilized effectively when it matters.

I don't give a sh*t about stats. I'm seriously disgusted with this season. If we hadn't lost half of our fuging defense we would've won at least one other game so far... I won't say more because the DT position is the worst in the league by far. They may as well sign one of us up from this board to line up at DT because these dudes are horrible.

JR may have opened up the check book this offseason to sign back our own guys but another huge fault in our philosophy and direction of our franchise is following the "develop through the draft" mantra. Go look at all the other great teams, if they have a hole, they sign a guy or make a trade. Not that there is a magic trade you can make to fix your entire team, but there are moves that can be made and I'm sick of suffering losses because "we're developing our young guys!"

I don't want to hear anymore rah rah speeches, how mad Cam is after losses, Smitty talking sh*t, Rivera talking about how we're getting better... We're not. We should be better.

We will most likely get maybe one to two more wins this season, mostly because our coaches are showing to be idiots and Hurney sits on his hands (or will make a big move for another team's practice squad DT or WR, oooooh!).

Today was just a reminder of all that is still wrong with our team and I don't care if this sounds emo, this team is really breaking my heart.

This loss not so much, I expected Cam to have a crash course game (in which he really didn't play bad at all) but that Saints game totally sapped the life out of me.

I'll just coast along with the rest of this season, and keep my expectations low like I should have.

I am seriously concerned that we are going to turn into a team with video game stats and a 2-14 record and will continue to be a big laughingstock going into next year as well. We are not learning how to win for shi*. Just learning how to lose many different ways.

the defense is TOTAL poo

we couldnt stop a fuging wheelchair football team (if there ever was one)

my optimism was seriously diminished after last week, but now its totally gone. i really cant see us stopping any other team this year. Vikings have AP, Redskins will be pissed next week, Colts will be desperate.

You're seeing today what happens when Cam doesn't play lights out. We get exposed. We need to totally revamp our defense personnel. Am I the only person who thinks they look physically small compared to every offense in the NFL? That's why they are getting blown off the ball and can't tackle anyone. Other than our front four, the rest of the D is undersized.

      It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.

      That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…

      Bryce Young is far less risky with his body when he runs than Richardson and doesn’t take many unnecessary big hits. Was much more worried about injury when he had that abysmal OL his rookie season than I ever would be when he runs/scrambles. 500/10 seems like a fairly reasonable prediction considering he had 250/6 in 12 starts last season. Of course literally anybody CAN get hurt, it’s just that we were assured by many huddlers that it was a sure thing with Bryce Young that he wouldn’t make it to this point in his career without significant injuries.
