I think Pederson would be a really good hire. He's been there before, has plenty of knowledge about who he could bring in as NFL coaches and I think with a good DC hire he could turn this wreck around with Fitterer and Morgan. He's an offensive guy so he'll make fixing that O-line priority #1.

Because we traded Dan Arnold who was all about DBO.....when he left everyone forgot. /s

I am not sure he has shown he is deserving of another year. He may well prove that he is, but I have some concerns on a couple of throws he made yesterday - especially on passes outside the hashes/out routes. Looks like his velocity has dropped on those throws especially 15 yards or more and he is "looping" the ball more. I'm not an expert or anything, but I have concerns about his arm still and they can limit what you do offensively.

We are running slants and RPOs because our offensive line offers no protection to our QBs (no matter who they are) and also fails to open up any significant running lanes for our RBs. We cannot even attempt plays that take longer than 5 seconds to develop because within 3 seconds our QB is either swarmed or sacked. We don't have protection for a QB to even go through route progressions...we truly have no other offensive strategy and that's why we are so predictable.

This - couldn't have said it better. I think Rhule didn't want any of the QBs in the draft not named Lawrence and pushed hard for Darnold and with nothing else to fall back on Fitts had to go out and do what he did. The other deals he has made have looked pretty good. I know the running joke is we only trade or go after DBs, but I still think Henderson will work out and Gilmore could be really important if we can get him to stick around.

Nothing to double down on at all - I think our defense could be fine with another solid interior defensive lineman if Brown is truly going to be an average to above average lineman (he's shown glimpses of being able to and does get doubled quite a bit) and some REAL coaches who can get the most out of these guys with adjustments game to game and in game. Snow's D worked fine for the first 3-5 weeks of the season and now teams have seen what we are doing and picking us apart. I think part of it is the team has checked out on the coaches. Offensive side is a complete fluster cuck. We have maybe one real NFL o-lineman who isn't playing as well as he has in the past. CMC is glass the last two years, our receivers aren't playing hard and can't catch all of a sudden and we don't have the answer to our QB issue as well. We have what I thought were some good skill guys but I don't know what has happened to them....have they given up, don't respect the coaching? Can't change that o-line now, heads should roll.......

Our D-line is "small" at DE for the most part, our interior D-linemen aren't able to hold their ground against the run and Burns and Reddick are pure pass rushers only at this point. I also think YGM is somewhat undersized as well. We are being gashed on off tackle runs - we don't have the beef up front to stop it or the will to either. Teams start running on us then we put more men in the box and start going man to man coverage and then Donte gets exposed all game long. We put more men in the box and then drop to zone coverage and allow underneath throws against our corners... Teams have the plan now on how to beat our defense and nullify our blitz: run off tackle, delayed runs to areas where Reddick and Burns have vacated, screens. Also need to add the fact that we really didn't get to Tua all that much with the blitzes we did bring. I don't know if Brown is a bust or we just need another big man who can help inside, but this has to be addressed as well. Also, DJax can't be paid like an elite level CB....he started off the season well but he's been exposed the last 2-3 weeks.

I still think Brady has a good offensive mind and is limited by that atrocious O-Line. I mean I hate seeing these crappy underneath throws, dinking and dunking, but we don't have the line to be able to do a PA fake and have long developing plays. We just don't and I think what we see out of Brady and his play calling is that he knows he can't really open up the offense. Because he knows this the WRs do too and they are playing lethargic. No energy, concentration, no fire for the game. As much as we are trashing the coaches, Brady didn't draft all defense and leave the O-line to be signed from the bargain bin...that's on Rhule and Fitts. They fugged this team hard by not trying to shore up the O-line.

There is not one single game where I can say he out coached the opposing team's HC, not a single one and that is as damning as it gets. Good post.

Would Oklahoma or LSU even hire Rhule? Maybe LSU will hire the Baylor coach and Rhule can go back to Waco.

Our receivers aren't even running their routes hard and trying to sell, CMC can't stay healthy (due to the O-line's incompetence), we don't have the answer at QB and won't until we get some NFL level O-lineman. Don't know what has happened to our vaunted secondary and defense....we get down by two scores and it's like they shut it down..... This team is lost, Rhule isn't the answer...Joe Brady is over his head and has no shot to improve because of the crap we have for an O-line, and Phil Snow doesn't seem to be able to adjust the D to stop what opposing teams are doing EVER. Clean up crew needed at 1 Panther Place ASAP.

@Mr. Scot wishing your family all the best, take care of what's really important and best wishes for a speedy recovery for your wife. Take care!

I agree some of the penalties were called correctly, but that "slash" was game changing and the amount of times Washington could have been called penalties but weren't is frustrating. Hockey gods should really be on our side for awhile after the last week we've had.

Refs helped the Crapitals all game....

I wish one of our guys would put one of these Crapitals on their azz.

I am not sure Cam can throw outs, his ball doesn't look like it has the necessary velocity. It's like he's looping those passes when he throws it. Not blaming him for all of this because our O-line is hot garbage, but his throws are questionable downfield....and of course our receivers drop the ball 66% of the time.

Look we have already put Cam through enough...let's don't kick him down the road too. He is playing behind this offensive O-line.

Glad the guys scored more than 2 goals today! Hopefully Svech gets back on track after scoring one. Good trip overall...that Seattle game got me really salty.

Provorov was making sure Necas had no chance once he pucked his pocket.....but these refs would never, ever give us a penalty shot.

Hockey gods aren't being too kind to us, not getting good bounces, the open chances are going to players like Martinook and Staal (who has lost that scoring touch he found last year). Some good opportunities and plays tonight by our play makers but they couldn't get one through. Kraken were able to put too many men on the ice, punk our guys, and got phantom calls....nice playing at home with refs willing to help you out. Fug Seattle and those refs.

Really anyone but Marty TBH....Lorentz would be better. How can we not get shots on goal in the last 40 seconds? Way too many passes trying to find the perfect shot.

Nice job NHL Kraken....

Andersen didn't expect that shot, but the Canes losses have all come on weird goals where the other team is just throwing everything to the net. This type of game doesn't favor us at all and the fuggin refs have done their job....

such BS to lose this game this way

Refs serving up some good old home cooking for the Kraken. Dunn and Oleksiak need their azzes beat down.
