Gotta lick their wounds and come out focused. It will be my last game ever at Rich stadium!

Think you’re on to something. If you compare the receiver group this year to last year, it really isn’t much different. When Palmer is back he is roughly equivalent to Cooper, maybe even better. Shakir is Shakir, Coleman is Coleman. Maybe the biggest change is losing Hollins; I thought Shavers would move in there but he hasn’t. And you have Moore this year. But the production has fallen off. I have mentioned this several times since yesterday, but last year we ran the formation that had 4 guys bunched on one side and a 5th receiver split out to the other side. And it gave other teams fits. Commentators such as Romo and Collinsworth talked a lot about how defenses had no answer for it. But unless I’m blind, I haven’t seen it much this year. Granted we could have a better group, but to me it is about Brady not getting his job done. And as a result Josh either has to throw it away or take sacks.

I understand logic perfectly well. And as I just said the 4 top guys went before Kincaid but we could have traded up to get a WR. Before criticizing logic learn to read. You made a statement to initiate this by saying TEs cannot be legitimate pass receivers. That is completely ridiculous, so why not just say so instead of trying to segue into WRs and draft picks. Beane needs to improve the WR room. I will concede that. But also going into yesterday we had the # 1 offense in the league in yards/game. Yesterday everyone on the team stunk, no more so than Brady. He has guys like Moore and Samuel that have been productive on other teams but not on ours. That speaks to a mix of talent level and poor work by the OC.

The top 4 WRs went before our draft slot that year. You could if course make an argument to trade up.

Don’t make a stupid statement that TEs can’t have impact as pass receivers when it is blatantly obvious they can.

I would suggest you have your discussion about tight ends with the following: Kelce Gonzalez Gstes Sharpe Mackey Casper Just to start

Brady is like Coach Boone being schooled by Ed Henry. Ed Henry was way ahead of Boons, so he had to switch it up and give him something different. Going into the game, the offense led the league in yards per game. But Miami was way ahead of Brady last night and he did nothing to switch it up. Let’s see the 4+1 formation from last year. Let’s put Coleman in motion to try and free him up? Quick slants? Throws to RBs? Pick plays? There’s a lot that could be done.

I hope someone asks Brady this week about the 4+1 formation that was very successful last year. That is why I think it’s more on Brady.

Both. I’d say more Brady. With a similar receiver set last year we used that 4 + 1 formation and no one could stop it. Where did that go? Where did who Josh called the best third down back in football, Johnson, go?

Ok, you all have fun losing your minds and being irrational. In another thread it was Beane deliberately trying to spite fans, now its coaches don’t take games seriously.

And that means because we happened to stink today that Beane is deliberately trying to spite the fans? Come on. Get over yourselves. Should our WR room be better? Sure, I’ll agree. But he brought Palmer who is hurt and tried to get Waddle in a trade. We lost today. But if you think the only reason we lost today is the lack of one WR that’s crazy. The O line was bad, we lost our best receiver when Kincaid got hurt, the D did not play well in part because of all the injuries, and we had 3 turnovers. If we don’t make the payoffs Beane and McD should be held to account for their performance and a change considered to be sure. But let’s drop the crap about purposely trying to spite fans. That is absurd.

They stunk today. O line especially.

I know we lost a game but a sentence or two on a radio interview does not mean in any way that Beane is deliberately trying to spite the fans. That is absurd.

He is not doing this to spite the fans. To say that is completely irrational

Yeah he’s doing this to spite the fans. They sucked today but is that really any reason to become completely irrational?

We did not know the D would be a huge issue week one.

How many guys have we lost on D?

It is not over, but they stunk today. There was not one good unit out there today. The O line had a worse outing that they did against Atlanta. The WRs were poor, TEs marginal, Josh did some questionable things. The D line showed the effects of so many injuries, because the D line sucked the LBs were bad, and outside of Hairston getting a couple picks the DBs were meh. Coaching was bad especially Brady. So an overall terrible effort. Does that mean it’s all done? No. We’ll get some guys back and if we make the playoffs, then anything can happen. But if we lose Kincaid for an appreciable time it will be tough, Does it mean you toss everything in the shredder? No. It does mean guys like Milano, Tre, Poyer, and others will not be around. It may mean we look at the OC and DC, and yes HC, for changes. But you have Josh. Cook. Kincaid. Young guys ready to step up on D. This is one game. One stinker of a game. But one game.

Terrible overall performance. Losing is one thing but they got their collective asses kicked

Not good at blitz pickups at all

I mean you can’t fault Josh for that, but you also can, right? Of course we should have had the ball on their 20 but apparently puzhing WRs is now acceptable.

That’s it. Threw it right at him.

Quit just running Coleman on sideline routes

That might be the worst half I’ve seen since 1972.
