I don't get the sense that Bryce is struggling with learning the offense. My concern is that the problem might be the offense Reich is trying to run.

That anticipation throw to Thielen that was picked off out of bounds is the perfect example of this. Bryce threw where he was supposed to, but the defender literally ran the route for the receiver.

This. The NFL season really begins in Week 5. Remember when we started 3-0 under Matt Rhule and thought we had fixed Sam Darnold? How'd that turn out? That said, it wouldn't shock me if Baker ends up being good for them. Let's not forget he was the #1 overall pick; there IS talent there. But I feel pretty sure by the end of the year he'll revert to form.

The Giants still have the stench of Gettleman all over them.

Absurd logic. The Saints are, on paper, the best team in the division. A loss wouldn't mean much of anything in the big picture.

You mean he's NOT the second coming of Earl Campbell who we should have signed to a 20-year, $500M contract?!? Blasphemy!

People act like we're paying Milles Sanders $25M/year.

Chinn. Is. Overrated.

In a heartbeat.

Without a 1st round pick it's going to be tough to get a true #1 WR in the draft. That leaves free agency (Tee Higgins is likely to be the best available) or trading for a veteran. Personally, I'd call up the Seahawks and see what it'd take to get D.K. Metcalf.

I'd like to think that's not him. But I've been wrong before.

Horn can at least play when healthy. I'll take that over someone who is terrible any day.

The Rams probably would trade Stafford to the Jets for the right price.

That's really the worst thing about this. I'm much more concerned about not having a viable backup tackle than missing BC at guard.

Zavala + Corbett got this. Unfortunate for Brady, though. This probably costs him his starting job.

True. Gotta take your shots at QB.

Interesting. Low risk/high reward.

I think play calling was a factor as well. I know we don't have anyone who can stretch the field but we still need to take our shots. I felt like Reich was trying to ease Bryce in by running the ball and keeping things conservative in the passing game (just look at the opening drive) but it backfired when the Falcons defense had no reason to fear our deep passing game. It makes sense on paper given our injuries at WR, but we have to be more aggressive going forward. Bryce almost hit on that deep shot in the 4th quarter; if he starts hitting a few like that it'll force defenses to respect our passing game more.

Injury bust.

Lord.

Yeah, at this point I think we should just trade Burns. We probably can't get what the Rams offered last year but if we can recoup even a single 1st rounder it'll be something. If we're not willing to pay him and he's not willing to sign for less than his asking price we need to at least get SOMETHING for him. Waiting this out until we have no trade leverage AT ALL would be a bigger mistake than turning down the Rams offer now appears to have been.

I feel like Higgins is bound to be overpaid. He's a good player but I'm not completely sold on him as a true #1 WR when he has Chase on the other side.

At some point the salary cap is going to have to increase to accomodate all these massive contracts. It was one thing when it was only QBs getting this kind of money, but now DEs and WRs are creeping up there as well. If this keeps up it won't just be the RBs complaining about how bad the market is for their position.

I heard about this really nice technology for football fields once; it's called grass.
