Oh well at least Allen took what the defense gave him!!

What is the point of Samuel if he can't make that play?

Should have spent as much money as possible building an offense that can win shootouts. Too late now

Our DL with another disappearing act. Rinse and repeat. So many investments there for a crap result.

We built a baby soft defense and this is the result

I feel like I've seen our defense get knocked off the screen so many times this year, leading to a big play for the offense. We need to figure out a way to stop letting teams get those mismatch blockers on our small back 7 players.

Honestly I hope not. Keep the efficient plays going. I feel that if we get into 2nd and 10 the drive is likely to end there.

Ok let's line up correctly and run the same play!

Come on man that is just stupid

I mean the scheme. We are not re-writing the script, we are just writing it better.

Alright well the offense doesn't look any different from recent weeks, just better execution up front.

He looked a bit gimpy on the field in pre-game warmups. Not expecting him to be featured a ton today

That was a great angle and acceleration by Johnson

He is but any safety 1v1 against Garrett Wilson is a huge mismatch. That's a scheme issue IMO

Well we got lucky the pass was a bit wide... Not a fan of that defensive series at all but I'll take it

I know our defense usually settles in but we're a team built to play from ahead so we can't just keep digging ourselves a hole early... Way too easy for them so far

CJ Mosley is back as expected:

I'll trade Cook for Taron Johnson and Shakir. Easily. If we lose it won't be because we're missing a RB.

I'm also shocked by how lucky other teams get. Missed FGs, fumbles that happen to get smacked out of bounds. Must be nice.

This is my first time in a while watching a full game of Daniel Jones and it's shockingly bad. Bad accuracy at every level of the field, bad reads, bad pocket presence, middling arm strength. He has a $47.8 MILLION cap hit this year, for that?

They should bench him honestly

The FS watches Burrow start to run out of the pocket and immediately starts sprinting in the complete opposite direction leaving that entire half of the field wide open

Reality is setting in that the best player in franchise history may end his career without a Super Bowl and no one has any idea if the owner cares enough to make changes. It is depressing watching this regime continue to make the same poor decisions that have already failed them before.

First of all, the fanbase's desires don't apply to the process even a little bit. McDermott owns those decisions. It is a plain fact that Dorsey and Brady were handed their jobs without any kind of competition. Sham interview process is the exact right way to describe it. Second of all, just speaking for myself here but I did not agree with those hires. My thought process for years has been that you have an elite QB in his prime, so you should have no shortage of experienced proven offensive minds banging on the door trying to re-ignite their careers. It's possible McDermott could have struck gold with one of those hires and found his own version of Ben Johnson, but he didn't so now there is no reason to think he has an eye for offensive coaching acumen. Seems to me like he just made safe picks with people that he already knew he could work with, which kind of encapsulates his entire tenure here to be honest.

I've been saying you need two of three factors to be elite to have a championship level offense - QB, coaching, and supporting cast. Teams like the Vikings and 49ers are doing it without the QB but with elite coaching and talent. For some reason once we got the QB we stopped trying to become elite in either of the other two areas. It would be one thing if we had tried the right strategy but the process failed. That is a little more forgivable. But looking at the resources invested on offense and the OC hires we clearly did not follow the right strategy. Bad strategy, bad process. What do you know, we have a bad offense.
