Everyne thinks the team ( if you have to ask which one you are in the wrong place) has issues. Rather than sit here and expect a whole slew of improvements what is 1 thing (just 1) that you would like to see.

For me its an O line that isnt pretending to be water.

i'll take the easy way out...fix the trenches.

on defense apply pressure. on offense withstand it.

2nd choice...

on defense stop playing it safe and gamble/take risks. go for the big play. focus on creating turnovers and blitzing the QB.

on offense go a bit back to basics turning to a power run game and try to go for the big play downfield with 3-4 receivers (including TE) going out every play. let cam take advantage of opportunities the defense gives him as far as running the ball himself and let the option play be optional...meaning let it be something done not very often.

I'd say pass Rush. That will cure a lot issues. Like the secondary, mainly the safeties being caught with their pants down.

I'm pissed at CJ, I realize he's being double teamed but man he's had some opportunities to get sacks and he hasn't. I realize FF are great and even Pass Deflections but that won't strike fear into the O line or QB you face. Putting their guy down on a constant basis will.

With that in mind, kuddos to all the guys that have a sack that aren't CJ.

I hear a lot of talk about change the culture. How about have some passion? Veterans need have more passion. Smith has it. Why doesn't Beason have it? TD has it after a big play, how about other times? I miss the personalities back when we had the lb corp of Greene, Lathon, and Mills. Those guys played with passion. Heck, in the playoff game in which we murdered Dallas. Greene and Lathon almost accidentally knocked each other out they played with so much passion...

I don't know how you can watch the Giants game and think the pass rush needs to improve. Eli was picking our coverage apart because of the giant holes we left in the zone not because our defenders couldn't hit him in time. When the coverage is so passive and weak that you can't make Eli have to think where to pass and they only give the D-line 1 second to get their hands on the quarterback, you don't blame the pass rush.

We played so soft and predictable in coverage that Eli already knew where he was going to throw the ball during pre-snap reads. He looked to the right and saw Gamble 10 yards off the receiver. He looked to the left and saw our 5th round rookie CB being left alone on an island. He looked straight ahead and saw Nakamura talking to fans near the endzone. Our defensive line isn't elite, but we asked for too much from them by playing soft-ass zone all night.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
