Worst news all day was hearing KM is coming back.. dude is a bad play caller. The non challenge was monumental failing.. also didn't understand the decision not to go for 2 when we had all the momentum at that point.
This game represents everything that sucks about this season and our franchise. Just not enough playmakers.. fail at the fundementals and just couldn't make it happen.. but still showed enough to delude JJ into handing out big contracts because we are 'close'..
We need a defensive line so bad.. like so bad.
I read this last line about the defensive line and agreed but then thought even further and said to myself, the whole front seven really hasn't played well. The DT's on the line have been horrible but is there really any linebacker on this team that's a difference maker?
Jaylon? Not even going to beat a dead horse, most people see him for the disaster he is. LVE isn't usually talked about as much but outside of his rookie season, has he done anything to make you feel comfortable about the position? He's constantly injured and has been apart of this awful defense.
Realistically, I dont see this defense getting fixed in one off season even though id like to believe it could be.
We have no defensive tackles that should be starting at this point. Gallimore is young as is Hill but at the moment they haven't shown to be anything special. So you at minimum, we need one quality DT.
We need another linebacker who not only is an upgrade in talent to what we have but we need some durability there. LVE is constantly nicked up and probably one bad hit from a much more serious injury.
Wilson looks like a keeper at SS for now but we need a FS.
Outside of Diggs we have no corners under contract that could start right now, even as a number 2 corner.
I cant see this front office hitting on that many draft picks and as usual we will be bottom of the barrel shopping in FA which just isn't enough and before anyone jumps on my case about cap money, we always go cheap in FA so its not a one off type of thing. We sign below average players who simply aren't good enough which is why we get them so cheap.
I hope I'm wrong and im obviously not jumping ship but I think if we are being realistic, we are probably an average team at best next year that finishes around .500.
I could be wrong, probably will be about alot more between now and next season, but just going off our history, I would say I'm not too far off.
