State of the team: They’re just not good

Yup. La'el Collins should be getting blasted more here. They should fine his *** for coming into camp out of shape. I do think he could have been the different between a loss and a win yesterday.

You can’t blame guys for not being at their peak when they had no offseason conditioning with the staff. Every team has this early on. It’s why they should have postponed the season 3 weeks to allow for a full month of strength/conditioning and then gone into football practice.

Some guys are able to train at home no problem. Others need more hands on help. If there wasn’t a need for hands on help why are there even strength and conditioning coaches?

I stopped reading at A- for QB

You Dak stanleys have ridiculously low standards

We are what our record is.

We continue to struggle against winning record teams. While we have some talent at key positions our weaknesses continue to hurt us. And better teams exploit those weaknesses.

This. Can't start slow with this team. Even then, we were up at halftime. Rams 2nd half adjustments or our decision to go conservative in the 3rd quarter beat us.

Yea, amazing how well Goff performed without the best touted receiving corps, top RB and 2 All Pro OL.

Flip our QB’s and the game isn’t close.

LOL seriously. People see our QB getting pressured don't understand we are running long developing plays. Then they complain for running short passes and not going long. Can't satisfy anyone. Backup Tight end dropped balls. Amari dropped a crucial ball. We stepped off the gas after going up by 1 point.

I used to have this argument when we had lesser Olines and people were defending Garrett because his Oline play wasn’t good enough..

Meanwhile Garrett is running 3-5 step drops with every route 20 yards downfield and we got scrubs like Phil Costa trying time block it.

Tom Brady is regarded as the best of all time and he’s had some trash blocking for him but they get the ball out quick and run schemes make life difficult for the defense.

He's a professional. Really need that guy out there. Steele tried his best but it wasn't enough. Seeing Connor Williams skating was bad too. We need to put a beating on Atlanta next week. They just got routed and are similar to us that they have a high-powered offense but a weak defense. Can't start slow again

I'd say yes. McVay and Shanahan are the best offensive play callers in the league.

Lol!!! McVay scored 20 points against an average defense last night and Shanahan scored 20 against the Cardinals. Yeah, they are geniuses. Jeez

We all said this after Week 1 in 14, 16, 18 and said the complete opposite in 15, 17, 19. I know I did. Hopefully this year follows the first trend.

One game with no preseason. Worry much?

Those are for what the talent is at each position for the team.

Season not over but let’s be realistic about what it takes to win games. More than just flashy WRs. The injuries are a real problem at critical areas.

Can't get a real feel for this team until a few games in. Staff and players have had one game together, no OTAs and not much of a camp. McCarthy has a pretty good record with overcoming injuries. Just need him to kick the FG on the road in 4th down 3.

I concurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and I didn't even watch the game!

No. You can’t do long developing bootlegs for misdirection if the RT collapses after 3 seconds.

Excellent point. The Rams' offense ran misdirection almost flawlessly practically the entire first half.

To many players stealing money from Jerry. It wouldn't bother me one bit to take this most recent draft class plus Gallup, T Smith, Collins, Martin, Zeke, and Pollard and get rid of everyone else. I might be missing a few but I'd gladly start over with those 13 and real coaches.

....Right now, I would release Jaylon and Dlaw no questions asked. Those two have come to be weak-links and money bandits.

Collins has been known as a lazy player since his LSU days. How out of shape do you have to show up to be put on IR?

The Bucs are the best example of the media looking at names and thinking the NFL is a video game. Everyone knows Brady is on the decline and Gronks body has been shot for awhile.
