1. That our defense is good enough to frustrate possibly the best receiving corps in the NFL (and their future HOF QB)
2. That our "over-the-hill" QB can still put up big numbers (399, with 0 INTs)
3. That our O-line sucks, (excuse me, we knew that)
4. That if we go "max protect", defenses can't stop OBJ & Shep (just wish we'd stop thinking of Engram as a TE).
5. It was interesting to hear, on the broadcast that teams (ATL this week), doesn't think of him at a TE, but a WR. I just wish we thought of him this way, and start splitting him wide.
6. That Shurmer made a fool of himself tonight
(clock management); I hope he LEARNS and stop making excuses.
7. That the run game is the way to protect (and rest) our defense.
But, lack of basic run plays:
Why use a show off third and one swing pass?
Just a quick...quick... basic, classic run will do for one yard.
It's really hard to have an offense with all the bells and whistles if you don't practice and run classic basics.
And there's a gazillion of those. Just quickly, instantly developing runs. Practice the crap outta those.
This. The offensive stats we do have are inflated
I legit laughed out loud at this.
Shurmur is frustrated and overmatched.
The OL is criminally bad. Worst in NFL?
Our top 4 O skill players can all ball.
Bettcher can coach D.
The D has some talent.
The team still wants to win.
Eli is an immobile game manager who cannot make the quality starting QB plays anymore (horrible intermediate to deep and doesn’t find open guys like he used to).
ummmm... you sure you watched last nights game?
Lol
the lower round picks never develop so the roster is top heavy because of the failures we have some stars and little
in between . This isn't as bad a team as the record shows .
They almost have to make trades now to rebuild this squad .
It will be interesting to see how the cap will be for next season it will likely be Eli's last sowhat does that mean with the cap . Can they restructure Vernon ?
I would look to move/trade Collins the same with Engram .
both 2nd round picks I would look for a pick and a player
with each of them .
Accumulate as many picks as possible . If we can get a extra two 3rd round picks we could take two O-lineman and
maybe a FS and a LB .just go BPA for needs .
