"Your swiss cheese d is just lucky they didn't have to play Joe Flacco last week!"

"Please God I beg of you - let us have Mason Crosby back!"

The amount of unforced errors are becoming a legit concern. Need to clean that up if they actually want to compete.

I watched at least four college kickers that in the moment I thought I would trust ahead of Narveson. One of them is a freshman backup at South Florida. He's a Gramatica.

The best kicker in the league was literally just hanging around the usfl for 2 years. There has to be others.

He was available last year but MLF refused to fire Barry and go after him.

On one hand I'm happy because they truly made a game of this

On the other hand if there are so many simple basic things they could have executed and won this game

Love made some mistakes but also knocked the rust off

Dontayvion Wicks truly is Davante Adams 2.0 even including the ability to get open but the drop issues(specifically year two Davante)

It's time to throw another dart at kicker

I think it's time to officially be worried about Kenny Clark

Clark and Gary. A ton of money did nada today

Quay played decent, which was nice to see. 8 tackles, 1 for a loss, 1 sack, 1 QB hit. He missed on some plays of course but so did everyone on D.

You can make a point without being a dick about it. You only show up after losses with your usual schtick. MD

The lack of a pass rush is probably my single most concerning item of this team. I think the offense will come around, I think the secondary will be better when Jaire or Valentine is back. But we have put a lot of assets into the pass rush to get this little production

Specifically the fall off of Gary & Clark has been noticeable and pretty astounding considering how good they've been in recent memory

Agreed. And it's only been 4 games with a new DC, new scheme. But at some point it isn't Barry or Haffley, it's the lack of talent up front.

They need Wyatt to not be injured. He's their best pass rusher.

Treebeard · Post #396 » by **Treebeard** » Mon Sep 30, 2024 12:41 am

Is Hafely having the Edge guys play more containing the outside? It's not only Gary that's off, Preston seems to me to be putting less pressure. Van Ness and Engabare put some pressure on the QB, but they're a bit erratic.

Or, am I seeing things the wrong way around?

XtremeDunkz · Post #397 » by **XtremeDunkz** » Mon Sep 30, 2024 3:20 am

I feel bad for the kid but the kicker needs to be waived tomorrow

Profound23 · Post #398 » by **Profound23** » Mon Sep 30, 2024 3:32 am

There is a good chance with a better kicker we are 4-0.

I know the kicker can't take all of the blame. Love with some bad ints, entire team with too many penalties.....but man can we please have a kicker?

Even weeks 2 and 3 we had to punt instead of kicking fifty yard fgs when we were up 6 and could've iced both games.

Glad Love stayed healthy. Hopefully we can take care of business vs Rams and AZ.

RiotPunch · Post #399 » by **RiotPunch** » Mon Sep 30, 2024 4:14 am

Not sure how viable Randy Bullock is, but he's at least been decent from 30-40 yards in his career.

Crosby is a little crazy to say out loud, but good kickers can perform into their 40's.

There are some pluses to take from this game.

The defense gave up 3 points in the second half and got some big turnovers despite the limited pass rush and the injuries in the secondary.

Love showed that this team is truly never out of it with him behind center, and he looked poised in the pocket and unafraid of the pass rush despite him obviously favoring that knee and falling into some old habits of throwing off his back foot instead of stepping in and hitting dudes in stride. Anyone who's saying that the Packers shouldn't have paid him is dead wrong, IMO.

Jacobs looked solid in the running game.

The O-Line only gave up one sack.

Anytime you can come back from 28-0 to make it a FG game despite four turnovers and two missed field goals, you've got to be happy with the effort.

Obviously, there are some negatives. I'm looking primarily at the front four and Narveson.
