This team can and will fix the issues

[Fox007]

We desperately need TD back at 100% as well. He and Frank will make a big difference. Offense really isn't that bad, we just somehow need our line to improve. We should actively try to trade for Roos or Kalil or someone who can help us. I wouldn't be against considering Roos, as he'd definitely be better than Amini and Turner on the inside. I hope the team tries to discuss bringing Hardy back after 6 games with the league, because that's what the policy is. I still have a positive outlook, but my patience is wearing thin. We need to step it up big and we need to do so very soon.

 

Yea if scoring points isn't the idea the offense isn't bad at all. 10 isn't that bad eh?

We are 28th in the league at 18ppg and the defense is 18th at 24ppg given up....both units are doing poorly but the offense has been consistently terrible at putting up points, especially against teams with anything resembling a defense.

[cbully]

the two biggest issues are OL and OC.

Safeties after that.

I don't know why Horton is starting over Addison btw, but we get Alexander back next week which should help.

thank goodness Frank will be back too.... Horton gives me the farts!

Our offense is no worse than it was through our first 4 games last year and we turned out fine last year. It is bad but it's not more of a concern than our defense. We expected our offense to be bad and to have issues with consistency and chemistry early on with the re-worked line and receivers. They'll improve on that. We did not expect our defense to give up 35+ points in back to back weeks to mediocre offenses after holding the powerhouse Detroit offense to 7 points. Defense is a much bigger problem than offense right now.

Last season our defense helped our offense and this season our offense needs to help our defense. We had opportunities to score bur our offense game plan has been miserable. Once the offense gets moving our D will as well.

No it isn't....those 10 points we scored wouldn't have beaten any team in the league this week and if you think it's a defenses job to hold teams to under 10 in every game then there's nothing for ya.

 

And last year our offense is was what held us back from a playoff win as it can't move the ball or put up points against top tier defenses and yes they were at a measly 18ppg last year too...not good enough.

It is all a matter of health, with no running game in sight it is hard to call plays.

This is a great post. I think we have better offensive players but the nuances are lacking. The other point is our defense via take aways and field position was helping the offense last year and actually manufactured points for them. That's not happening now.
