well and to be fair in addition to dak at times being inaccurate there is only 1 receiver getting any kind of separation and he is often doubled. Dak had a crap load of tight window attempts yesterday
Lamb is separating? I saw several plays where they showed where he was not. What makes you say he's separating?

well of the receivers hes the only one getting any separation i didnt say every route. Your right he has been blanketed at times as well. Hes the only one with capability to do so may be a better statement

Possibly, but lack of talent trumps all. Doesn't matter how tough you are if the guy in front of you is monumentally better.
You think our talent this year compared to last year on defense amounts to record low run defense?

The issues with this OL is more than just needing time to gel, they have massive issues on both edges.
Not arguing with that at all.

They were in a big hurry to give Steele an extension and now he has a fully guaranteed 17 million coming.

This is part of why we “cant afford” certain other players. Just more management. They aren’t good at this and it feels as if an exposure has about arrived.

Fans have to resign themselves to the fact we are gonna build and replace lost players through the draft. We are gonna sign cheap vets in FA to fill the voids. That’s just the way it’s gonna be. Instead of getting excited about FA just pray they draft well because that’s all that matters
It’s a grandiose plan. Counting on rookies to fill immediate needs will never add up, especially when picking late.

The system is set up to not allow sustained success, yet these two figure they can outsmart that rather than take their best shot when within a window to win.

The only way to sustain succes is adding talent in every way possible. Jerry only want to use the draft. If you only use the draft you sit at a marginal playoff team with no hope to get over the hump because you are always relying on rookies. For a draft only scenario to work you have to trade guys before they hit FA who you aren’t gonna sign and use those picks with your picks to move up. We play them out and depend on a comp pick a year later and it’s not working. The only other way is being up and down. Down years you get good picks. Sitting in the 20’s every year and watching the playoffs on tv is the worst case scenario. You can’t get better

because he doesn't have to hand out big contracts to FA....Jerry doesn't care about winning at all costs. he cares about sales, franchise value at all costs. he knows Mazi sucks. yet he will keep Mazi for full term of rookie contract, you know, gauranteed money. we have 4 rookies starting on this team.....that's not a formula for success. that's actually pathetic. Jerry will rarely spend in FA. only when the shiet hits the fan and he gets cornered. he will sign one big name to calm the masses and claim he is willing to spend.

Jerry isn't losing these games, the players are. Figure out how to run the ball and stop the run.
