Based solely on today's loss.

Based solely on today's loss, what do you think is our biggest need in the off season?

 

Here is how I break it down.

 

The weakness at receiver was not as evident today.  I'm not even sure I remember any drops in this game.  Smith, Lafell, Ginn and Olsen all seemed to make plays today.

 

Not sure I'd blame Cam's sack on any of our guards or tackles.  Cam had plenty of time and it was our blocking backs and tight ends that could not hold their man.

 

I'm looking at our corners as our most glaring problem today.  Constantly were beat all day.  Kapernick didn't even have to scramble to make plays to his receivers.  Just straight up got beat.

 

And as many have said our play calling on offense is wanting.

i was impressed by the amount of time newton had in the pocket. if it wasn't for him getting beat up early in the game, he may have had the legs to make plays later in the game when no one was open.

 

something needs to be done about the run game. period.

 

no more patchwork secondary. what they did this season overall was commendable, but it's time for an over haul.

Oline, db, wr.

Oline needs personnel that match the teams philosophy. If this is a run first team, you need your oline to be a force, not merely adequate.

DB, defense is the best in the league once this gets fixed

WR, Ginn is improving but not a star, Lafell is essentially a skinny tight end praised for blocking but with bricks for hands. And 89, the best player this franchise has ever had, may be done. At most he has a year left.

I still think WR is #1, O line to me is good for the pure fact it was a patch job for much of the season, if we can get a healthy Oline...that is an area I think we will be fine at.  CB is #2 to me, we had great fill-ins this year but not a shut-down corner like we wanted.

100% WR.  Then secondary, then O-line.  If we don't address anything on the defensive side of the ball we'll still be a top 10 defense, and if thats what we gotta do to get some serious offensive firepower around Cam, then do it.

    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO) 
    • looks like the Lions and Bangles should forget about the playoffs, trade everyone they can, and start over.
