  1. The defensive issue is more in the back 7 than the front four, IMO.
  2. We have a major WR problem. They can't beat anyone outside one on one and defenses are bringing more rushers than the OL can block. There's no time to throw and no one open. It was so bad that Tyrell Shavers was the go to guy on the last drive. I can't blame Brady when the talent deficiency is blatantly obvious.
  3. Yes, but Palmer is the only guy they have that can separate from the outside WR spots. Without him, no one else gets open. The defense doesnt have to worry about getting beat deep and can bring more guys than the OL can block. This is the end result. I hate to say it, but this team needs Gabe Davis to be healthy and on the field.
  4. It's pretty sad when an injury to Josh Palmer can allow defenses to completely shut down this passing game. That's how bad the roster construction is at WR.
  5. Even they can see it. It's a shame our GM can't.
  6. No one gets open one on one and the Falcons can just blitz Allen every play with more guys than the OL can block.
  7. Agreed. I can't even blame Brady. It's the roster construction, specifically at WR. He just doesn't have much to work with. That's on Beane and McDermott.
  8. Yes. Palmer isn't great by any stretch, but he's competent. They don't have anything else outside. Good job, Beane. No one saw this coming for the last two years or anything.
  9. I think it's just a function of relative expectations. A high second round pick? People expect a near Pro Bowl level player just on that count, but the front office also spent the offseason hyping up Coleman, too. No one has those types of expectations with Palmer or especially Samuel.
  10. He very well may be. I'm not sure that's saying a whole lot, though.
  11. Shakir has had a high ankle sprain and those can linger for while. I'm willing to cut him some slack under the circumstances. Palmer and Samuel haven't done much, but Coleman plays a significantly higher snap count than they do.
  12. To some extent, yes, but it so far, his production in four of the first five games looks similar to the second half of last year. Higher catch percentage, sure, but not much else.
  13. Unfortunately, it's not an even distribution. Throw out that Baltimore game and he's got 13 catches for 114 yards and 1 TD in the last four games. That's less than 9 yards per reception and he's been held to 26 yards or less in three of those four games.
  14. Shakir is a good player, but they don't have any decent boundary receivers. That deficiency showed up tonight and it's particularly glaring given how Diggs torched them all night.
  15. On that play? Yes. For the entire game so far? Not as much.
  16. Where's the flag to bail them out again???
  17. I can't fairly blame him on that one. He was expecting that to be a run play.
  18. True, but that's the type of situation he was drafted to win. Jones is 5'8".
  19. Almost a disaster. Someone was wide open deep over the middle on that 3rd down. 10 yards wide open.
  20. I never thought there was anything wrong with him last year that couldn't be explained by the knee injury.
  21. Rookie defensive linemen usually need a season or two to develop.
  22. I actually had him on the list, but kind of felt like I was nominating half the team. But yeah, he deserves one, too.
  23. At the time, I thought Hawes was kind of an oddball draft pick by the FO. Three games in, that guy was a steal in R5. He's already a really good player.
  24. I didn't focus too closely on the DL, but my impression was that Walker had a solid game.
