Are we better than last year?

What game was it, Ferguson was wide open on a deep route down the middle of the field and not seen.

Schoon has had a couple of those also. Same with Lamb. Same with Cooks. You know where I'm going with this.

Maybe a more talented team but MM is a downgrade from Kellen Moore. Offense is less explosive. They keep running Pollard inside. Can’t get Cooks involved. No pre snap motion. Not enough roll outs for Dak. He’s mediocre in the pocket. Need a more modern offensive coach and system.

You go, you little prolific reader you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You should try reading more. You might avoid saying things like Carlos Watkins was more important than we realize.

So about two thirds of the fans think this year's team is worse than the 2022 team that wasn't good enough either yet the owner feels really comfortable with standing pat at the trade deadline.

There isn't a trade that can fix this offense.

Time on the carpet...not just fan evaluations.

So we come full circle, we aren't as good as last year and already suffered a defeat which may indicate we aren't the team we all hoped/believed in pre-seaon.
Week 9 will be the watershed game on where we stand.
At the moment there may be too many questions to make that/those tradeline deals.

Truth.

Letting the OC call the plays might help.

 

[mardwin]

I say we were better last year mainly on the offense

Wait a minute but everyone was blaming Moore for the issues on offense and not the guy behind center.

Unfortunately I think you're right. As much as I'd like to get Henry, In the end I don't think it would put us over.

You should study the English language and it's usage more. You might gain an understanding into the variances of thought and such. You might even understand inflection, irony, context, psychology, stuff like that.

Go back to saying snarky stuff, you're really bad at anything else.

Losing Diggs is the real killer...was always possible of a turnover with him. Now???? Teams are starting to figure out Gilmore is a shell of himself...

Yup. I had high hopes for both Gilmore and Cooks but either they are both losing a step or this team is hampering them….it got to be one or the other.

They were both signed as complementary players. Gilmore was fine when he was the #2 CB, which is what he clearly is at this stage of his career.

Cooks? I have no idea.

That’s a good point. I remember #4 making Terrance Williams go invisible in 2016 so it could be more to it than Cooks declining in skills.

I think he's the 3rd option. As such, mostly as the QB is going through his reads, they don't get to him. Maybe they're having run the wrong routes, maybe he should be the slot guy, I really can't say on this one. However, since he's been productive everywhere he's been, I simply doubt that his lack of production is on him.

I think the quarterback position has regressed.

That is always the elephant in the room!!!

 

[ESisback]

I think the defense is better (with Diggs), but the offense isn’t as good (yet?).

 

[Captain-Crash]

Cooks is only going to get the ball if he lines up at TE. The security blanket for our guy.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

Not even close. Last year’s offense was good. This year’s is awful. Last year’s defense was very good. This year’s started off dominant but has looked mediocre lately.
