CFZ I Got A Bad Feeling About This

[Merlin]

Every team has to worry about the worst possible case. Stuff happens.

 

[Hadenough]

Defense looks good. Quinn has earned my trust. But this offense? Man, there are just too many question marks to feel good heading into this season:

1. Questionable OL depth, and now Zack Martin drama

2. Questionable RB depth behind Pollard who has questions about carrying a full time load and recovering from an injury

3. Gallup has questions about his recovery from last year

4. Questionable WR depth behind Lamb and Cooks

5. No proven TE1 and a gimpy 2nd round TE with plenty of questions

6. New offensive scheme and play-caller who ended with huge question marks his last couple years in that role

7. Nothing but questions at kicker

8. Big questions around Dak bouncing back from last year, and being able to deliver in big moments

Every year there are a few questions— but damn, there are too many for me to feel anything but uneasy as we roll towards Sept

Yes and a lot of these could of been addressed in the off season but now they will have plenty of reasons to blame for another Dak meltdown.

After the way it ended in the playoffs the last 2 years, I don't know how anyone can be that optimistic of this offense. There are a lot of question marks. And every year we hear fans say calm down. Not once in January or February do I hear these same fans say see I was right. Just once I'd like to hear that.

See B. Cooks, see depth at receiver, see new blood at running back, see Mike McCarthy running the offense.

Unless Dak turns into Marino, our offense is going to struggle. OL is not in good shape and the running game isn’t going to set the tone.

We need to win games 13-10 or 17-14 this season.

 

[jazzcat22]

There are no questions about Dak. What is he bouncing back from?

The Oline and RB are the biggest issues.

I would feel a hell of a lot better if Martin returns.
I think there may be some depth if one OL miss a few series, or even a game. But long term they are in trouble.

This is where MM needs to be creative to move Dak around to prevent any pressure from any OL weakness. I have not really looked at or thought about what strong defenses as to the strong pass rushes out there we play.
Other than SF, Philly twice, if their replacement players step up, Possibly NYG if their guys step up. Washington is always overrated but can be formidable.

Same goes for run defenses, against our unproven RB's. Not Pollard, but the others.

Excuses for Dak gage already begun.. just a few days ago they were saying that Dak had the best WR trio with the addition of Cook’s he’s ever had.. he’s going to be much better with McCarthy running the WCO offense as MOORe sucked.. and so on

 

[Jarntt]

Instead of your usual “let’s attack the guy” instead of debating the argument, why don’t you use that little walnut inside your skull and tell us how we are not.

Literally doesn't require a comment or serious discussion to dispute those insane comments about our RBs being as great as you portrayed. But, since you seem to be doubling down, I'll randomly start with the last one since it takes less research. Who are we cutting this year that is going to start for another NFL team this year?

That’s crazy talk. They’re one of top scoring offenses year after year and you think they’re going to score 15 a game because they let Zeke go.

You know its my biggest concern. In both the run and the pass.

 

[DUO_CORE]

If we just punt on 1st down, all of this drama goes away and think of the cap space that could free up!

 

[PhillyCowboysFan]

Defense looks good. Quinn has earned my trust. But this offense? Man, there are just too many question marks to feel good heading into this season:

1. Questionable OL depth, and now Zack Martin drama

2. Questionable RB depth behind Pollard who has questions about carrying a full time load and recovering from an injury

3. Gallup has questions about his recovery from last year

4. Questionable WR depth behind Lamb and Cooks

5. No proven TE1 and a gimpy 2nd round TE with plenty of questions

6. New offensive scheme and play-caller who ended with huge question marks his last couple years in that role

7. Nothing but questions at kicker

8. Big questions around Dak bouncing back from last year, and being able to deliver in big moments

Every year there are a few questions— but damn, there are too many for me to feel anything but uneasy as we roll towards Sept

Pick any team and you can come up with 8 concerns. I don’t worry about things I don’t control. Let the games begin and it is what it is. As with every other team!

I agree with #1 & #2 especially (OL and RB). These were glaring needs that the team basically ignored in the draft.

I'll disagree with WR. I think the WR group is significantly better than last year.

Menopause is not a good look on you Hawk

Lol… touche

I turn 47 next week so you may have a point

Thanks for having a laugh with me... When I read your post I thought I needed to pump a little sunshine! I think we all know that anything is possible, heck, the offense may be the best part of our team.. That is how it works from year to year sometimes.

 

[Deionindahood]

Look at the last 2 years and they are getting better.

And what's your criteria for getting better...losing post-season playoff games by slimmer margins?

Obviously making the team better. Exciting to watch. You don't like that they have made a good team better?

To me, losing the last two years in the post season isn't exciting to watch nor is it indicative of improving. What's your criteria of making the team better?
Jerry has been making a good team better for the last two and a half decades.

If you don't know. I can't help you. Don't you follow the team and see all the new talent that they have brought in?

1. This I agree with. I have stated before that I didn't like our OL depth. I think Martin comes in though.
2. Maybe the front office is not finished. I think we see another RB in here.
3. I will trust the team on this.
4. Lamb is a legit #1, Cooks has shown in the past how productive he can be, and Gallup as a #3 (if healthy) is a nice WR lineup to roll out.
5. We have some talent there. It's up to the coaches to make the best of what they can do.
6. I get it. We have to hope that there has been improvement with Moore gone. Not sure how that will pan out--Moore's offense generated a lot of points, at least in the regular season.
7. Yeah...well, they might start trying some of us out soon. How strong is your leg?
8. It's all about the playoffs, I agree. We know Dak can put up serious numbers during the regular season.
