Nobody expects "perfect" in week one.

We have every right to expect "competent".

What we got instead was absolutely awful.

And I can tell you this: If you watched many other teams yesterday, you'd have been hard pressed to find a unit that looked as top to bottom terrible as we did.

Why?? Is our offense better than their defense?? Has our offense been with each other as long as their defense has??

I expected us to at least look like an NFL team.

We didn't.

They put up 24 points against a top 5 defense with a Dpoy candidate going against our rookie LT in his 1st game..

Do you even look at the match ups?? 

Where was our advantage there defense vs our Offense??

Re the reps.

There is more to coaching than meets the eye. Or many eyes. 
Team morale was a huge consideration in the QB ‘competition’. That was kind of in the open I thought or at least I am thinking I read it from a beat writer. Maybe the Athletic or elsewhere.

I get it. Team knows that the best guy earned the job, gets behind new guy.

Or new guy gets handed the job, there is maybe division when your guy is getting benched with no chance to compete for it.

 I think people have some fairly unrealistic expectations for the opening week. Which is full of bad football every year, from teams that end up decent and some that end up champions. 

We have a 5 win team heading into a new season with huge changes made to the roster and also staff. We have the rook LT who everyone knew would be schooled in that game. And was. The thing you hope for is will he get better from it?


I think the team is going to get better as the season goes if they can stay healthy. And it is a long season. I think that is more what people ought to be looking at. 

 


 

That's an accurate assessment of the situation. It is a fair way to treat the players on any team. It should work flawlessly under optimal conditions and in theory should produce a solid squad.

What we ended up with from his execution of this master plan is well short of a solid squad.

We haven't even gotten to the game preparation thought process employed by the master builder.

And this is where we differ??

I'd expected our defense to be better and carry the offense until all the new pieces had time to gell.. Which I knew would take a few weeks since everything is new..

I look at the match up and knew that Defense would dominate us.. And hoped our defense would do the same to them.. We should have gotten blown out how things played out but we didn't..

They both had the same amount of time available this offseason.

We got one big flukey play but for the most part not much till the fourth. Credit goes to McAdoo likely for finding something that worked.

But even that doesn't change how horrible we looked on offense for the rest of the game, or how terrible the e defense look for the entire game.

Rodgers had his team in the playoffs last year Dak had his team in the playoffs Burrow had his team in the Super Bowl while the Panthers are starting off how they finished last season. You just can't reason with some of these sycophants.

And it has once again lol. Baker is not the worst but comparing him to those 3 is pretty funny and completely untethered from a realistic perspective. Just wait until later in the year when it all gets weirder.

Their defense and DC have been together Atleast 2 or 3 years.. Our offense and OC  has been together 4 months at most?? Same system compare to us  changing system ..

How is this similar to you..

They got new players and lost old ones in the offseason...same as us.

Other teams with rookie head coaches put teams on the field that looked like they belonged in the NFL. Hell, the Giants beat the Titans and the Dolphins drubbed the Patriots.

How is it that these guys can have their units ready and up to the challenge of good teams while we face a team led by a backup QB and a coach inexplicably going against his team's strengths, but look awful and lose?

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
