I’ve been called a revisionist, arm chair GM, and more…. Why? To be fair- someone of it is probably true, but I’ve refused to full board the “hype train,” and now it’s coming to fruition.
Could Goff be better sure? Did Gibbs drop an easy conversion, possibly a TD? Yep…. Did Hutch make a bonehead offsides play? Yep… did Glasgow screw up three snaps, and get beat badly 2-3 times? Yep…. Did Ra drop a few passes he should catch? Did Jacobs get murdered in coverage all day? Yep, and yep! Did the refs screw us a bit 4/5 times? Yep
Beyond all of that Dan looks lost, AG won’t or can’t adjust… Brad continues to make odd signings and elevations to the roster.
Why is this happening? Because we paid all of our “underdogs…” guys like C Harris, Buggs,
Romeo, Comish, and relied on others like Jacobs and others far more than we should be.
We’ve lost 100% of our grit. We aren’t the tougher or more discipline team. We aren’t staying home on D, or making the extra block…
I guess a part of it is drafting “red shirt” players on a team who was starting undrafted free agents in week one.
We continue to elevate and demote, sign and deactivate week in and week out. Twice we’ve sent visibly injured KEY guys back into games and watched them get further injured.
We are watching former Lions playing well elsewhere, and CHEAP, and we discarded them without having any real depth.
This TINKERING is an issue. Sure the “this was never our year” crowd can chime in… but
Green Bay is the youngest team in the league-
Minnesota is a few games back with 2 head to head…
The Bears were beating us last year before Okudah pick 6, this year we needed 2 TDs with 2:57 left… then we got blew out- Now add the top OT and Marv Jr or the top QB and Rome O, and 80M in FA on D???
Suddenly we are questioning our QB, and at least 2 teams in the Division appear on the upswing…. If we don’t pay Goff, and we don’t make a SB run next year with him…. The “our window” is tied to Hooker? Carr or Daniel Jones 2.0?
We have coin toss vs Denver, a loss in Dallas and a split with Minny coming…

Carr/Winston

Jimmy G
Herbert
Mahomes
- that is the list of QBs we’ve beaten. And Mahomes was down Kelce and Herbert a few receivers.
