This team has a lot of good players, but we need a true superstar “face of the franchise” player to win us games like that.
St. Brown is amazing, but he’s not at that level. We think Hutch can be that, but he’s not yet. Jamo has that potential but he’s just never on the field. We don’t know if Gibbs can be that because we don’t give him the ball enough.
Bijan is winning games for the Falcons. Parsons is winning games for the Cowboys. Burrow and Chase win games for the Bengals all the time. The 49ers have superstars all over the field. Jalen Hurts wins games for the Eagles. Mahomes obviously wins games for the Chiefs. Josh Allen wins games for the Bills. Tyreek Hill wins games for the Dolphins. Justin Jefferson wins games for the Vikings. Who wins games for us?
The offensive line?
I can’t really remember the last game we won where I sat and thought “we won that game because of him” with “him” being a specific player on our team. Who won us the first game? Branch? I mean yeah I guess. He was just kind of in the right place at the right time though as opposed to making the play himself. Kerby Joseph won us games against the Packers last season, but other than that our wins are more of a team effort. The win just kind of happens.
This team is good. I know we lost today; we’ll be fine. But for this team to take the step from good to great, and into a true contender, we need superstar level players IMO.
I mentioned this early today if we should have drafted parsons over sewell. I think parsons have more of an impact. Again sewell is dominant but pass rushing is a superior premium to have.
Honestly tho parsons wouldn’t be as dominant here tho. AG is a terrible coach. He doesn’t put players in best position to succeed. Hutch playing dt is foolish. He has completely ruin Houston
Burrow has been terrible this year and they are 0-2
Allen lost the Bills game last week and they are 1-1
I think probably most of us before the season would be happy with 1-1 after two games against KC and Seattle.
It’s a bummer the interception free streak is over but I also thought Goff started playing better after. The way he was slinging it, I put the loss on Dan for playing to tie
I don’t think Goff is the problem his wr are not that good other than St Brown, Reynolds is a good # 3 and played well stepped some. Leaf is a one or 2 play guy.
I’m surprised you make it so simplistic. I think it’s nuanced. You want the last possession. You want Riley inside, what 42? 45? Jared works best across the middle of the field. Ben’s calling the plays. Jared’s making the decisions. I really don’t think Dan was directing anybody to play for the tie. We got stopped on 4th and fortunately we’re able to not give the ball back to Seattle with any time. That was definitely part of the plan and for good reason.
I don’t see how anyone looks at that time management and those plays and doesn’t see how obvious it was that they were taking the FG all the way. That’s a HC decision
They need to be way closer than the 42 and were. They had a set of downs within FG range of being in the 30. They didn’t take a single shot to the end zone
Well Goff had a better overall game against the birds. If our defense holds them to 20 total yards in the second half and 13 points, it’s a blowout
Stafford also had zero pressures last week. The Hawks pass rush was non existent. After this game we should hold off on anointing out Oline. They were getting spanked
On the flip side, our Dline couldn’t generate pressure against three practice squad players
