With 3 good teams in our division , we will have to pass at least one of them to make the playoffs

Both Arizonians had good posts. I will say it's early, and with the progress of CW, we could be a contending team in the very near future.

Exactly, Kiran Amagonnalearnyourelastnamewhenyoublocksomeone. As much as everything isnt working, they are giving him the full playbook, he is responable for line calls, making adjustments. As much as its a mess, it will make him better later in the season as he learns. The other option is keep it basic and it would look better. I think their doing the right thing. The second half of the season will surpeise everyone.

I think we would be running the ball much better right now and have a strong defense. We are doing one of those.

He deserves to take heat on several moves but no GM wins on every transaction. I look at the overall picture and it is in a plus. We had deep cap issues and one of the worst rosters in the league. In his third yr, he has us on the brink of a good team. This yr will be his good/bad GM season. If we have a winning season, right on schedule, if below that threasehold, he will deserve to be hammered. He siad 4-5 yrs to remake this team, year 3. I think we are in an early season over reaction. We are 1-2 and every game came down to the last series of every game. Be honest , who thought we were on schedule to blow out teams and be undefeated at this stage? No one but maybe me. With a rookie QB this will take more time to get up to speed. Basically groomming CW should be the biggest goal. Winning is the second goal, and thirdly develop the roster. At 1-2 none of those goals should be considered a failure just yet. I want to see what the record is at our bye week, not now.

He did not practice last week, I think he has an injury issue.

If the last game did anything for us, it showed that Johnson needs to be in the goalline offense.

Lets see how he does after the offense gets rolling, everything is out of sync now. I guess Bates coming back might be the answer at OC, it cant be worse.

I think he can progress as a QB and we can still win but along way to go.

Watch his tape from last yr when he had a good OL.

Finally you got my attention, the Coleman Shelton revenge game. Actually they tried to resign him but we offered more money.

This game is going to look like the first 3 games, a close low scoring game with us winning or losing on the last series of the game. Watch this video and it will explain the status of this team at this point in time. Good talking points IMO.

He's not a power runner, he is the type back Poles envisions to go with the modern passing offense. There is to many OL break downs and play calling mistakes for him to be used properly. Johnson is a better fit right now on a stuggling OL.

I think Poles obtained OL in his own eyes. Medium talent, hard worker, good character and to be developed. He has a 2nd round draft pick that has good tape but has an injury history, (Jenkins), a 1st round RT that everyone sees a high upside. Then his( I can develop him player).Brandon Jones (has played above his draft position), Nate Davis (above average play history) but coasting( bad choice). Bates (over achiever with an injury) jury still out on him. Shelton is a journeyman that I think was brought in as a backup. Kiwan has high upside but came back from surgery and isnt ready yet. Booker is injuried but not looked on as a starter. Ironically our worse players last yr are playing well. Patrick as a OG on a high level offense. Whitehair is an average starter for Raiders that is backed up by JPJ, someone everyone wanted us to draft. Everyone wants 1st round starters on the OL. You never see that. Last year part of Texans success was 3 1st round starters already on the line. Everyone has to develop players and we are not there yet. As of now he gets a C- as a grade. Watch this video.

No where did I blame CW for all our woes, he is a part of what is wrong but as a rookie that is to be expected. Never stated JF should be here instead of CW but I do think a dumbed down offense would get us more wins right now and that is what everyone is talkig about. When you lose, everyone picks a part every play to find answers. When you win , those never get the same mileage. Alex Smith was an above average QB when Mahomes was drafted. They never had any problems with Smith and Mahomes on the same team for that yr. JF is a more productive QB right now than CW as a rookie, but CW has a much higher ceiling. This team is built to have big yrs in 2025-26, its not complete yet. I think people are projecting higher expections because of the better talent but the rebuild needs one more yr to hit. A couple more OL, edge, DT, we will be ready to play with the big boys every week. I think we will be a real good team once CW is more comforable as a pro, he clearly isnt there yet. The whole season will be littered with this late one score games both wins and losses. We would have won the game if we had run for 150+, less pressure on CW but instead we got a Hail Mary Pass that was one yard short. Throwing 360+ with over50 throws means your playing from behind.

A team needs to be good enough to not allow a bad ref call change the game for us and we're not there. As inconsistant as our offense was, we were one yard away from winning that game. I expected CW to be better because of the Stroud performance last yr. The truth is he is a rookie with great potenial that has a learning process. His TOs contributed to 2 losses and was a non factor in our win. 4 Ints and 2 fumbles. I expected us to be 7-2 out of the blocks but he isnt up to speed yet and this is what we get. If this yr was about winning, Fields should still be here, more in a transistion season than for a future QB. We would be 3-0 if he was here, CW what be doing a Mahomes type first yr. So this is about the future at the position of QB and not instant winning. We just have to be patient because this what a rookie QB first season looks like. Now play calling looks bad but with better exectution maybe we would have a different view. We went from a running team with an average QB to a future star with a finese passing game. Our idenity is a strong defense with a rookie QB that just doesnt happen right away. Lots of mistakes are made but lets not forget we were 2 final drives away from being 3-0. This is what you get as you transistion to a rookie QB.

For everyone that wanted the modern passing offense, this is what it looks like. We have to be able to run the ball or we are not makiong 9 wins.

You have to throw in the end zone, bad decision.

The sack killed us.

1+ ?

I sportsbooked a pick six, now would be a good time to see it.

That was worth the risk, just didnt make it. We would have needed a TD if we kicked it anyway.

We have such a shit show and now we're back in the game.

The middle of the field instead of the outside zone. Please

Wow throwing to the middle of the field, what a great idea.
