That’s a good point too and I agree. The entire offense needs looked at this off-season. I can’t stand the “rankings” argument. We had the number one defense last year and all anyone said in the off-season is it was misleading. Well…the offensive ranking this season is very misleading as well. We need upgrades before we waste Allen and Diggs. Good points.

Allen presses because he lacks playmakers on his side of the ball. Diggs is elite but no one else is anywhere close.

The part about being happy that we threw nearly every resource into the defense and you still want more. Meanwhile…the offense is patched together at best.

We had more talent at WR last year. Sanders was still very much serviceable and Beasley was an upgrade over our current slot situation.

Is this sarcasm? Please tell me it’s sarcasm.

Completely agree. Most fans want to talk themselves into thinking Davis is a true WR2. He’s not. Joe Marino said it best when he said that he was better as a WR4 or 5. He’s a very solid player, but he doesn’t run good routes if he can’t get vertical. We definitely need to upgrade there this off-season. I can’t see us paying Davis once his rookie deal is up.

One of the biggest scoring offenses because of Allen. Without Allen, this is an average offense. My point is that other than Diggs, not much has been done on that side of the ball. A handful of mid round picks and some aging FA’s? Sure. But nothing compared to what gets put into the defense.

In your opinion. Ok…

Or…maybe you will find fault in anything i say for some reason.

Cmon man…you know McD doesn’t give a single crap about offense.

Maybe a bit harsh, but I also think he’s not as good as we all hoped he was.

We have had our differences, but this is an awesome post. Completely agree and couldn’t have said it better myself. Digg is elite. End of story. David is a JAG. His route tree looks like a totem pole. I say let him play out his rookie deal and draft a high WR this year to replace him in a couple years. Mckenzie sucks. Period. Knox is an anomaly. On one hand, he has elite traits, but the other he just can’t put it all together. Hoping he finds the mojo he had last year. Shakir can be something I think. He can make tough catches and seems to have a good route tree, compared to Davis. He is good at YAC too.

One trick pony? Doesn’t make him an elite player.

Diggs is elite. Period. The rest? Average at best. With a passing offense, it’s pretty crappy that we haven’t thrown any major resources into the passing game other than the trade for Diggs.

Only a guy like McD could look at the last couple weeks and think defense has been the issue.

Good point…forgot about Boettger

Let me get this straight…IOL is a huge weakness and we cut some depth in favor of more dline? Yep…sounds about right…

Beane isn’t the problem…it’s McD. He’s the one that wilts under pressure. Not the other way around…

Agree…gotta wonder if he will be moved to safety next season to replace poyer? We all thought he was gonna replace edmunds but maybe it will poyer once it’s said and done.

Nobody is “reveling” in anything. There are simply a lot of people that never thought this offense was as talented as the ranking showed. Our oline is average for the most part. We have no run game. Davis looks like a better 4th or 5th passing option, knox has disappeared for the most part. We all want the same thing. Some of us just see the path to getting there differently.

So let me guess…we need to load up on more defense right?

Exactly. The lack of overall talent on offense is starting to show up. Allen and Diggs are our entire offense. We need to upgrade most of the other positions.

I don’t see how anyone can pass McKenzie off as a viable nfl starter, but Whatever I guess.

I disagree. We haven’t had a run game in a few years. Things were “opened up” last year and the year before. The problem is the overall talent of the receiving corp outside of Diggs. Hence the reason for this thread.

I guarantee you if keenum sees time, they will run more. They almost have to. It would be comical to see keenum slinging it to Diggs and the rest of our JAG receivers.
