I hate to say it...

McCarthy's offense looks like the NFL has passed him by.

Elliot may be the best RB on the roster. What a failure that is.

We don't have a true #2 WR, and offensive scheme isn't helping one to emerge.

We really don't seem to have much of a "running scheme".

We have to use WR's to attack the edges in the running game, our RB's aren't capable of doing it.

Cooks and Turpin lack vision as runners.

From what I could see on gameday film, our LB play was lousy, filling the wrong lanes, jumping in the wrong gaps, lack of awareness in their zone drops.

Despite the supposed pressures, I didn't think our pass rush was all that great last week against backup OT's. It didn't look any better this week. But, we couldn't stop the run either. And, it wasn't close.

Our O-Line needs to improve. There are signs of disaster lurking.

We look good enough to go on a big winning streak during a softer part of our schedule. But, I don't think these things go away. If anything, they get harder to cover up.
I'm not going to hit the panic button after 1 game but let's see how the team responds in the coming weeks. This reminds me a lot of week 3 last year against the Cardinals.

Regardless of what happens in the regular season good or bad it really means nothing unless it's in the playoffs.

Mike would love to call a different game. He can’t. Dak can only handle
The short throws. Thus his
High percentage. Dinks , dunks , curls , slants , RB dumps , Screens yada.

That’s why we always lose once the D gives up an opening score or we fall
Behind.

Dak isn’t a QB who can make the downfield throws or hit the deep post when it counts. Once Dak is behind it’s clear as day the Doe Eyes. They even show them on TV for that reason.

Next four years are a Lost cause.

U don’t get “great”. It doesn’t just “ come “

You either have it or you don’t.

Dak clearly doesn’t
He missed 2 TD passes not to mention the picks.

Stupid of Jerrah to invest top pay in him knowing he can't win without everything perfect around him and the roster is not that good

Everyone is blaming the defense ......... yet you and your ilk are starting thread after thread defending Dak ........ shows what you really think.

Dak did not lose that game ....... he just played mediocre and lost the ball 3 times.
You can't count very well either. We turned the ball over twice. One was on the WR, but we know you can't comprehend that.

I know, Mahomes would have anticipated him falling down and thrown down by his ankles.

I agree completely.

Again ....... the child is throwing a tantrum.
Yup. Their go-to's are calling you a hater and telling you to go somewhere else it is literally just like a little child kicking the floor.

I'm not even sure why they are still upset they already won their Super Bowl by their hero getting a big pay raise he didn't deserve

They always throw out the leadership thing too like the whole roster is so fired up by having Dak on a big contract. Well how come that doesn't show up on game day if he's such an inspiration? The reality is is he disappears anytime there is adversity or pressure

Did you happen to notice that we recovered the fumble? Or were you still tunnel visioned on Dak?

You do realize their are 11 players on the field on both sides of the ball.

Yeah, one of the Saints players decided not to fall in the ball as taught, meaning Dak was bailed out by 2 players, the Saints defenders and Tolbert who ran back from the end zone

Mahomes has already won multiple playoff games and SBs. Even when he struggles in a regular season game, he comes along in the playoffs and owns every defense.

Dak has had 9 years, multiple all-pro linemen, top-tier WRs and a great RG to prove himself as other than a front-running, stat ladder against garbage teams and he flat out sucks….

It is what it is..

As long as this team is “relevant “ Jerry and players dont care

This franchise needs to be embarrassed repeatedly before they will bat an eye
You can go back in the last almost 3 decades and see so many embarrassments and it still doesn't matter. 44-6 or whatever that score was to end the season to Philly in 2008. Blowout loss to Minnesota in the playoffs. Completely embarrassed and dominated in the final game at Texas Stadium. GB blowout playoff loss. Getting the 1 seed and losing both times at home to inferior teams.

The culture will never change under the Jones family. Brand first, results a distant 2nd or even more down the line than that.

Like this for example?
What it doesn’t fit your agenda, putting a loss on one person is ridiculous. Unless it’s the person causing the loss, which is the coach it all starts with him and playcalling.

Lots to unpack but I'll react to these two statements.

Elliott is not the best RB on the roster.

Both Cooks and Tolbert could serve as WR2.
Dowdle and Vaughn have been disappointing. What order would you put them in? How much better is the one from the three?

Cooks used to be... Tolbert hopes he can be.

We have the slowest offense in the league,not one player other than CD scares anybody,we have the easiest offense to defend...dink and dunk heaven

The question I asked the other poster in that discussion was obvious. When someone uses the play calling as a critique of Daks abilities he dismiss them as talking out of their backside because they've "never seen the playbook"

But when someone else who's never seen the playbook (you) uses it to criticize the coaches and provide cover for Dak, he's on board.

Same critique, applied differently. He's dismissive of one, and totally ok with the other.

And I'm the one with the agenda. Got it.

Your post just was the first example in that thread that I used to show his hypocrisy

You are clueless. How can your list include nothing about the defense?
How can we pay the Defense you desire , by having Paid a known loser #1 Money and our WR #1 $$$

Where does this extra money for the Defense come from in today's salary cap model ??

You can blame Jerry all you want for being an idiot . But Dak's greed has crippled this TEAM which the Defense is HALF of !!

What don't you get?!
