lightsout

A strong line can hide bad linebackers. A strong LB core can hide a bad line. I say we address our LB situation first. Sick and tired of seeing every fuging one all season catching and not getting their ass downhill. You don't run parallel to the line and wait for the ball carrier to come at you.

Bryce ripping a field throw on 1st and 25 and hitting an absolute dot for a first was cold as fug too. Also throwing the ball well before people are open, sheer anticipation. Bryce is really trying to be that guy and I'm here for it. Hope he continues working and comes out at this level next season. I need dawg Bryce for 18 weeks.

He's made us into a competitive football team in one season. Literally what you want a new coach to do. It's not about wins until 3-5 years in. That is when you don't accept "we were a handful of plays from the wildcard". Fix the d and improve and he succeeds next season too.

Because slander will not stand. We have 2 players who are playing at or above 1 PPG average: Necas and Aho. Necas, Aho and Svech have ripped more shots than anybody on the team and at a decent percentage (not great, but decent). Those 3 (39 goals total) + Roslovic (17, leading team) are our only double digit goal scorers. We need a line shake up. We have a lot of good guys in +/- but those guys aren't scoring. Playing great D is good but we need some offensive consistency. The lines aren't productive, yet we have productive guys on the roster. Spread that wealth, stop relying on 1.5 lines to get our scoring. We're not dangerous in our back 6 but we're tough defensively.

Not when we need it game in and game out, but we are a top 6 team in scoring currently for the year. Also one of the better defensive teams in the league. It's easy to think the world is on fire during a skid (5-4-1 in our last 10 is a skid for us) and that's fine. But let's not lose perspective. We just need to start finding our guaranteed two goals per game. That is what playoff teams do.

Whoa brother. Might wanna look around the league. Canes are sitting in a fuging good spot, even not playing optimally. It's a long season. We're in January. Holler at me in March if we're falling short to *checks stats* a top 3 Western Conference team. Lol

Thielen ain't getting younger. Gonna need a 3rd wr and there's good talent to be had this year.

Tough to play a team that isn't awful with your stud RB out, your hopeful future RB out, and your defense can't stop a child from getting a cookie jar. Bucs absolutely showing our weakness on D. Offense looks worse because of it. On to next week

Time to give some guys eval reps

At 1, you take whatever high grade wr is there. After that you're running straight defense. Secondary and linebackers need an overhaul. Pick up an edge guy if there's one there that you value much higher than any LB.

Not just that, there's nowhere to run. Bucs D is swallowing us at the point of attack.

Eddie has been bad ever since he got in all time accuracy talk. Since that's happened he has been fuging bad.

You mean he doesn't have 200 yards and 3 tds? Unacceptable

That was a catchable ball for Leggette, he just struggles to breakdown. It was meant to be a jump ball like what he threw to Sanders weeks ago that everybody swore was just a bad ball despite Bryce dropping balls into buckets for Thielen lol. It is what it is, Bryce still shouldn't have thrown that. He had underneath open, he didn't identify the blitz. The 3 receiver side sent two. He's got SOMEBODY over there. Bucs are throwing a lot of looks at Bryce and he's just missing the identification. He needs to be on the tablet breaking it down hard. They're gonna keep throwing everything at him. On the plus side...teams are now trying to mitigate Bryce. This is a good sign.

There's a draft every year. There's good players every year to be had. We're missing out on the media storm over Prime's kids. I consider that a a win.
