You two should get a room.

He's just doing what he always does being a contrarian. FYI he was a full blown Teddy Bridgewater Stan to give you an idea of what you're dealing with here.

Neither did Robby Anderson with his fumbles but this is Matt Rhule's team.

Poor route running? He's been up and down with his effort going back to last season but things have never been this bad. We can assign blame to the players when they mess up but as others have noted look at the turnaround and results for some teams rosters that were bad and had simialr problems now with a fresh coaching staff. Example the Jaguars. I will definitely check in when you post your breakdown of the game though thanks.

Definitely true that Baker is still in the process of learning the offense as he goes. Probably would have helped not to have wasted practice reps in a farce competition. In year three if the players are continuing to struggle executing it's on the head coach. My fear is this is much more than just not opening up the playbook this is what a Rhule and McAdoo offense looks like and Baker is what the Browns concluded he was when they made his services available. Matt Rhule of all people should know running CMC like a powerback has not worked and will not be sustainable. We must find a real passing attack or this season is already effectively over and no some check downs to Shenault do not qualify. This is why the 49ers game is checkmarked as my first big let's see where we're at game. If Shanahan goes in dry we need to clean house.

All the more reason why it's not at all unreasonable to ask why you feel like he hasn't opened things up just yet. I mean we said the same thing last year about Joe Brady and not only did that not happen we got worse and he ended up falling on his sword for Rhule. But my sincere apologies for disturbing you with these things sir that was incredibly rude of me.

Is there a reason you want to talk about wording and not McAdoo's body of work as a coordinator here and elsewhere? We can't play against all world quarterbacks like Jacoby Brissett and Jameis Winston every week. Hell we might get lucky against the Cardinals but with Baker playing the way he has even Kyler Murray is going to get his team on the board while we fart around. But Shanahan will definitely step on the gas and not let up so yeah why wouldn't we talk about matchups like that? Are we settling for just squeaking by the Saints or are we actually wanting to compete in the NFC?

Cute cope but we'll be sure to chat again when McAdoo is "opening up the playbook" against the 49ers my friend.

Oh yes surely that's why our offense has been dogshit for an entire half multiple times now against backup or injured quarterbacks. McAdoo just has to dust off those wafflehouse menu sized playcall sheets.

Baker had 44 yards at the half and a dismal passer rating. He was mostly awful today and Shenault did the heavy lifting for him to shine up his statline a little. We are not repeating this kind of game with these results in the coming weeks if Mayfield can't play better for a full game.

There were folks doing taking down names and shouting at skeptics when we were 3-0 this time last year too. It was fun to revisit those threads later in the year and it will be fun to repeat that again.

Still feeding that grudge I see. It's sweet to have my own little fanclub.

Rhule runs the show everything begins with him. One win against a lousy and banged up Saints team with a head coach worse than ours doesn't change the truths about our own team. Threads like this will disappear when we play more talented teams with better coaching.

Sounds good. I guess let's trade DJ Moore who needs that guy anyway.

Yeah he's stunk up the joint no doubt about it and after running his mouth and selling t-shirts. He's earned the criticism.

Some people have learned nothing from watching this team last year. Not gonna win many games in this league with less than 50 yards passing for an entire half.

Yeah but you're Albert Einstein in comparison to that weirdo.

Oh goodness get off Sam's dick already.

I guess you didn't read my posts in the gameday thread I was the opposite of complimentary of Mayfields game today.

I can't stand the Saints so I'll take the win happily. But geesh what a mess of an offense. We kicked the crap out of New Orleans last season and we see how that worked out for the long haul. When we play a high powered offense with an elite QB we are going to get our asses kicked.

I'm glad we're up on the lowly Saints but wtf is Ben McAdoo doing with DJ Moore? Paid that man 60+ million and he's sitting at the bottom of our receiving list below even Ian Thomas like the ugly kid at the dance?

Baker Mayfield with less than 50 yards passing for the first half against a team with a beaten up Jameis Winston. I've given him a chance but it's time to take the gloves off. He is slightly better than Sam Darnold and that is only because he doesn't throw as many horrific interceptions but even that could change as the season goes on. Can't believe this man talked all that junk and even sold those shirts. Forty four passing yards!?
