    I agree with you (Maye) - but there's something about him. He gives off that vibe like Goat used to. Way early, but he's one to watch for sure.

    Yes Metcalf shouldn't have engaged with that dumb @ss in which he has some history with that dupe.

    He commands attention. He is game planed for. A loss for sure. And I agree he would have made a difference to a possible win.

    But, the real issue is who the %^*& is our true #2 receiver? One that can command respect from opposing defenses as well? Crickets...

    This to me is the bigger issue. And the Roman Wilson miss has not helped.

    And we have two castoffs in MVS and Thielen.

    Was their no worries about a #2 because Smith wanted to utilize as many tight ends as he could? They propped up Austin III to be the #2 but lets be real now, Nice player but... To me the Jonnu Smith signing was a waste. It put Muth on a milk carton. The tight end that they just signed to a nice deal.

    If we lose the Metcalf suspension will be the convenient excuse. But it goes deeper then that...

    I would suggest that after DK, Washington is a huge loss, not only in the passing game ,but in the running game.
    Ask Your self this, and do it honestly. If any team lost there 2 biggest weapons on Offense , and one of their biggest weapons on Defense, and they lost their game, would you count that as excuses??

    The run defense has been too inconsistent they did shutdown the Colts and Lions running game, but the game against the Bills was embarrassing.

    Players are allowed to improve and considering Black and Benton are on rookie contracts they return in 2026. They probably need to draft two DL though.

    Just watch if they lose how Metcalf will be on the forefront of why. You don't think so? The wheels are already turning with the media. Do you not think that he was the #1 loss? Basically what I said was why they didn't they get a true #2 receiver that defenses would respect. I feel there are no other receivers that defensive coordinators focus on. So i don't get your point.

    I feel if Bags Tomlin gives his marching orders into turtle mode ala against the clowns that will be the determent.

    You go for the throat right from the jump and have the ball in Rodgers hands.

    I feel that Henry will have a solid day so getting up on them quick might have to change their direction. If Henry takes over the game it's over.

    If you take Henry, and Mark Andrew's off of the Ravens before the game, and the Ravens lose, You don't think people will make excuses about that??

    Mediocrity brings the team to that level. Like we all have on this forum change has to come to turn things around. And unfortunately the front office doesn’t care.
