I've enjoyed this season, it's been a fun last ride....

Its weird how we get a WR with talent and instead of getting another WR and another WR we go bargain bin and get these ST’s utility guys that are good for 3 catches a season.

Give Howard a legit shot to compete for the starting gig and build around him. Just keep investing in WR’s and not DK investing but hungry UDFA’s and mid tier weapons that won’t break the bank but will run thru a burning building to get the bag.

 

It's even worse that Metcalf wasn't a free agent signing. He also cost them a second-round draft pick.

I agree that the regular season was a fun ride. My daughter isn't a huge fan, but she has gotten more into it this year than ever before. We watched that win over the Ravens last week. Her reaction at the end alone made it one of my favorite sports moments ever.

last night, she asked me what was the point of last week if they were going to lose like that in the first playoff game. She said this just keeps happening. I told her that the point of last week was to enjoy that moment. That's sports. This team wasn't winning a Super Bowl, but that doesn't mean we can't have some fun until the ride ends. That is the part many folks on this site are missing right now.

 

I do not understand why they gave up on Warren. It was a one-point game most of the way. It was a four-point game when the wheels fell off. They clearly couldn't protect Rodgers and Metcalf played like crap after a couple of big catches early, so the sensible move would have been to rely on Warren. They didn't even try.

 

Cause Arthur Smith is a fool. Had Bijan and utilized Allgeier and Patterson more.

 

That's part of the offensive problem. Teams seem to know when it's a run or pass, our offense is so predicable. If you watch teams bring a guy down for run plays then back out for pass plays. I can see it happening over and over again. That along with Smith's bad play calling, with plays like running Gainwell up the middle against the best defense in the league. Keep feeding the tight end he brought over, did the same with Patterson last year. NO Muth most of the year

And don't get me started on defense with not blitzing more on passing downs. The only chance they had was limit their QB with less time to pass. How many times are we going to let someone get 5 yards past our safeties. Too much QB time to throw.

One last time, nothing will change until Tomlin leaves, and so should the OC and DC. Or Rooney gives up his ownership or decision making which would force firings.

 

They should have rushed at least five on every third down of three yards or more. Stroud is easily rattled. He burned them with some big plays when he was comfortable, but fell apart when they got in his face. Take the play Sawyer made. If they don't get to Stroud there, it is an easy touchdown.

 

They were blitzing quite a bit they just didn't get to the QB.

 

They did, but they also backed off at the wrong moments, such as the third-and-15 after one of the botched snaps when Stroud had all day to hit a big pass to Kirk.
