Is it just me but was 99% of our runs right up the middle and most went for no gain. Even my wife asked why do we keep running the same play thats not working.

Our run-game has as much variety as our O-Line has push: Absolutely zero

It's like lining up under Center is a crime to this team.

[quote=sdskinsfan2001;1377097]PLAY BEN FUCKING SINNOTT IN THE PASSING GAME!!!!!!!!! ERTZ IS BBQ CHICKEN!!!!!

He had a helluva career but he's running in mud and now he is getting scared to take hits.

Draft a TE in the 2nd round due to his athleticism, and are using him like a poor man's John Bates. We already have John Bates. Get him some touches.

This coaching staff is failing this team. But we also have more holes than swiss cheese on this roster. The 2024 magic covered it up, but it was still there the whole time. So frustrating to go from 12-5 to looking like a 7-10 type team.[/quote]

Counter argument here. The coaching staff is competent enough to know what they have in the players. Perhaps Sinnott is not capable of being relied on in the passing game. Gets confused on routes etc. Maybe he is just a bust of a 2nd rounder?

Looks poorly on Quinn/Kliff or poorly on Adam Peters. Either way, basically looking like a wasted 2nd round pick. Classic Redskins move.

Seems like everyone is complaining about the offense when the D is clearly the bigger concern. Get Whitt off play calling already.

I don't know how much of a final say the coaches have in the draft process, I know they do have input. I know it is a small sample size but my impression thus far of Peters is in trades and draft he is willing to take higher risks for a potential reward return but in FA he is far more likely to bargain hunt. Personally I would like us to start following the New England/KC/Philly model of accruing more draft capital than trading it.

Definitely agree with this this year. I hope we trade down in the 1st, no matter where the selection lands. We have a QB, we need more picks for other positions.

I don't think we have the coach or the players to be successful on defense. All of the pressure falls on the offence.

We have ZERO Speed at LB, and our CBs are slow. At the end of the day Whitt is bad but he doesn't have a ton of talent either. The Offense is going to have to carry but right now everyone is hurt so they cant

I don’t buy that there’s no hope for the defense. They can’t be this bad.

I seriously don't get this shit either. Got damn fools on twitter/reddit talking about how Peters didn't address WR enough in their books in the off-season. I'm like, dude, he drafted McCaffrey, traded for Deebo, re-signed Terry. What the fuck else they want? THey want 3 draft picks used on WR too? NO fucking team in the NFL is going to do decent on offense if their top 2 WRs go down to injury. You think Bengals going to do alright if Higgins/Chase goes down? NO, they aren't.

The bigger fucking issue (and has been since last year) is the god damn defense. It's fucking terrible and need to be addressed more than ANYTHING on the offense. Period.

Re: Game Day #7: not quite the scabs game
 

Unfortunately there are issues all over the place. Both sides of the ball included. We have no second or fourth round draft picks next year.

Right now concentrate on KC. We somehow win that game and it would go a long way in the good feelings department.

KC could shut us out; especially if Jayden doesn’t play.

It’s going to be a bad to ugly year. Won’t be much to smile at.

Of course it could be ugly, and I wouldn’t stop anyone from betting on KC, but as of today we are 2 games out of first with a lot of football left to play. For my own sanity I am looking forward to next weeks game to just shut everyone up including myself. Lol.

Re: Game Day #7: not quite the scabs game
 

I think the thing that is concerning me most is that while we're lacking talent in certain areas for sure, but even with those limitations, it feels like we're not playing up to our potential.
