NoSaint Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 19 minutes ago, RyanC883 said: the Front Office had nothing to work with cap wise after the prior regimes terrible decisions. I expect us to be much better next year with a ton of cap space (WR, OL, secondary---we did a good job getting Hyde and Poyer!). Plus 10 picks. Edmunds will be a stud, Allen hopefully has more than 0.5 seconds to throw, and will have someone who can catch the ball on the receiving end. I think realistically we need to wait another 1-3 years to see how this FO is doing. Not great for the impatient. I've been here longer than the entire drout. But I have a feeling this FO will get it done. Its a cop out to pretend this regime has no hand in the cap situation. How much cap did we commit to benjamin, Coleman and kerley (ignoring picks) for instance or could the dareus/Starr situation be handled differently? How they managed glenn or Tyrod/McCarron is in part on them too. You can’t just throw your hands up and give them a 3-5 year free pass 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ol Dirty B Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 14 minutes ago, Dr.Sack said: When you can’t run the ball or throw the ball to open the run you lose. To me the biggest momentum swing was Allen’s pick which he will learn from. Take a sack or audible to a run and let the clock run out and call a TO to go into halftime down 3-13 instead of 0-16. That’s a 6 point swing that better QB understanding or coaching resolves and makes it a tighter game. Or just throw it out of bounds like anyone with half a brain would. That play was horrendously stupid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not worried about the ugly season I am more concerned by the lack of convincing personnel moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think we have to suck with youngsters to see a benefit later. I bu honestly question the notion that giving carte blanche to McDermott was the smartest thing to do. I am in the MAJOR minority that thinks that making the playoffs last year set us back. He bought himself time AND people are actually deeply in debted to him for breaking the slump. We need to shift from gratitude to demanding more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the team is above average in age, collectively . Correct, but the key positions of QB, MLB, CB and LT (maybe even DT w Harry) are very young and that the core we’re building around. Another draft and FA with actual money and this team will look very different next year at this time, IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously? No I don't. And I don't think it's their final answer at WR, either. If you do, then you're blinded by idiot-rage. I also understand there wasn't going to be significant effort put into the offense this year. You can disagree with that approach all you like, but it's their plan and I'm willing to give them 3 more years to have it all together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This offense has shown no signs of hope for 3 out of 4 games it's okay. we will probably have 2 more quarters of suckitude next week before we play lights out for the following 6 quarters of football. we will still be 2-6 though, if that is any consolation.
