I couldn't have imagined a worse start for all parties involved.  This is a nightmarish scenario playing out. I get a bad feeling this coming week will be an absolute beatdown. It's hard to believe this team isn't remotely as good as last years team. 

It is more like an expansion team if you think about it.

Long podcast 

1. Coaches not performing to hype 

2. Offense putrid 

3  Final contract  year veterans like Chinn.  Burns. Matos may be gone before trade deadline 

4. Reich not using Hubbard, TEs et Al. .Yes have injuries but ways to overcome are not being used   

5. Trades should recoup some draft picks and leave enough cap space to get  free agents in 2024

6  top. 3 needs  WR  WR  WR  with cornerback also 

7   None of the analysts think there is a  turnaround possible on the roster 

8  oline being asked to block up to 5 seconds 

9   Say the best for year is optimistic is 7 and 10 based solely on Reich’s history of slow starts 

10  two year rebuild probable 

11 free agents not performing as hoped 

12  issue with talent, play calling and execution   Does not expect Reich to relinquish play calls 

that’s about it 

 

 

 

Evero seems to be the only coach as advertised.
