What a mess. We have a 2...at best....most often 2.5 mental midget with a body built by Snoop posing as a 1...we have a 3 that shouldn't have been resigned, who only catches sideline routes posing as a 2....we have a special teams WR that supposedly "blocks well" and ocasionally finds a squirrel nut because he has caught thousands of balls with the backup QB posing as a 3. This corp will do nothing....especially given who is about to return at QB next week. If Booger and Chuckles resign Snoop, they both formally need to be committed....other teams swap out and retool WR corps on the fly. The Eagles had the worst WR corp the last couple of years....look now. Watch and see how long we stay saddled with this bottom 5 mess.

It’s actually not as bad as I thought it would be. The catch by Brown in the end zone was awesome. And How do you let Lamb loose at the end of the game that would have been a bomb?

Having said that hopefully Washington gets back soon to help, and for the love of G get Turp some snaps on O!!!!

I think the negativity on Gallup is harsh. He did just come back from one of the most notorious injuries in the NFL (which many players take an additional year of play to get back to their old selves), and last night he played against a guy who’s likely first team all pro and the only CB in the DMVP voting. Slay was locked to Gallup all night as he was your deep threat. Gallup had the same game Justin Jefferson had against Slay, and Terry Mclaurin, and Christian Kirk, and DJ Chark…..

Absolutely the truth.
One- maybe both interceptions last night are not interceptions if the receiver takes position and doesn't let the defensive back run through him to get the ball.
The passes were on target, but in both cases the receiver allowed the defender to run through him for position.
The long pass that was intercepted was because Rush got hit.
But the other two were on the receivers, not Rush.
Dak won't be that accurate, either.

No argument that I would love to see an upgrade at the position, but on the flip side if we had better QB play last night this isnt a thread today. Lamb had an easy TD towards the end of the game, and there were several poorly thrown balls to the TEs that could have extended drives.

Last night was a tough matchup for these WRs, but the bigger issue was Rush played his worst game of the year.

I would say the WR corps is probably close to league average. Lamb isnt elite, but he is probably a top 20 guys. A healthy Gallup probably top 35. Good enough to move the ball. I do think they need to look a high quality #3 after the season

Its not a slight at gallup its really frustration with our hill billy gm. Who gave away a real #1 for a 5th rd pick and signed an average #2 coming off an acl to a long term deal

But with Cooper Rush. We’ll have a clearer understanding of what they are with Dak; he and Gallup have had a good rapport

We don't have that big physical WR or one fast enough to stretch the field. Gallup and CD are similar and both are solid complimentary wrs. We need a #1. That said, Philly has 2 of the best CBs in the NFL.
I've saying this sinse the off season.
They have Noah Brown at 6'2". He showed some fight last night, but they don't play him enough.

There are people on here last night saying our WR core > Egirls after the game. Lamb is a solid #2 but we are missing a bonafide #1

I’d like to see a fully healthy group out there with our starting QB before I want to rebuild.

MG is coming off injury and Washington hasn’t even played yet. We’ll know end of season how good this group is.

Disappointing Tolbert hasn’t played, I was high on him as a prospect.
