Strangeness in the NFL

[Buzz]

While it has been ugly these past 2 games I’m trying to remain realistic when watching other teams.

Ravens needed a 66 yard FG to win and teams like KC and Seattle are also struggling to win.

If we can get healthy on D and we can get to 3-3 or 3-4 we might have a chance to turn things around.

Right now though, it looks like we could lose the next 3 games easily if we don’t play with a sense of urgency on offense.

I’m seeing a lot of guys on offense just standing around watching Najee get lit up instead of finishing off plays with a block. Claypool had a chance to block
someone and just stood there on one play.

For all the talk about not giving up (esp. from Ben and Tomlin), a lot of guys sure look like they're giving up, not finishing on plays. Although we are talent-deficient at some key positions, the problems with this team run deeper than that, IMO. Your OL doesn't help up the QB until they get chastised in the press? Receivers quitting on routes? HC and QB say they've run out of plays to call on a critical 4th down in the red zone?

And we're just at the beginning of the season. How ugly will things start to look if we drop the next couple of games as well?

Might be a case of ageism going on with Ben and the offense.

The "run out of bullets" was just weird. Football isn't complicated. It's 4th down and 10 at the 11 yard line. Throw the damn ball into the end zone.

I think we will get out of this funk but something is definitely up. If it doesn't change we will definitely be able to draft a QB in the top 10.
