Where are Poop Douglas's defenders?? Three games under 10ys but he's not a problem.
He's a problem but there aren't many answers. Either he pulls out of it (starting to doubt it) or Williams or Chiz need to grow up quickly. Cause this is getting rough.
 
As Parcells used to say, You are what your record says, no excuses

Today
14 points
5 turnovers
5 sacks

1-2 record

Speaks for itself. Still a bottom 5 team
So which of the 7 teams with no wins aren’t bottom 5 in your you are what your record says world?
 
They have played 3 bad football teams, lost 2 and probably should have lost in Miami but the Dolphins were even less disciplined.

Buffalo likely beats them by 3 TD and I’m not sure Carolina is a W either. 1-4 very possible.

Just looked at the schedule and I have them for 3 likely wins remaining:

Saints, Jets (split), Titans.

Beyond that, I don’t see it.
 
I want Rham to be gone and I want Douglas never take a snap for this team again.
Both of these guys are terrible.
Rham has been having issues with ball security for a while and I can’t believe he is still employed.

Yeah this is his 6th year. At this point he is what he is.

Not much to be done this year but he has to go in the offseason and I think there may be a less painful cap hit if he is
 
This team really is like a team that always gets 75% of the equation. They march down the field. They'll play tough defense. The OL will hold up. Maye delivers a beautiful pass.

They'll put themselves in position to score and to win. And then they nut too early.

Also, I'd like a more thorough idea of what the coaches think of the RB room. Clearly, even after Rham's continued blunders, they're not quick to take him out. Are they worried about Henderson's ability to pick up the blitz? Gibson is hot/cold.

I think a lot of this forum felt okay about RB going into the season. Is that holding up?
 
I was at the game. A few things that stood out to me. The steelers 2 td drives were basically gifts from the refs.

Patriots offense and defense played well.

Steelers were daring the patriots to throw deep with a single high safety.

Too many turnovers

A football team isn't static. As the season progresses, it either improves or worsens as do their opponents.

They've played three games. Won one. The other two were winnable. Their schedule is still weak.

Your projection is premature.
 
Drake Maye is the best offensive player we have. He will rectify the stupid mistakes.

Most of it is due to playing hero ball and trying to make up for his tweedledee tweedledum teammates.

Vrabel himself said they need Rhamondre after the game. Henderson is struggling with pass protection which is a liability and he isn’t quite breaking runs that we thought he would yet. He seems to go down rather easily.

And Gibson well he fumbled too.
 
Lost in the shuffle is that we dominated on like 80% of snaps on both sides.

As heartbreaking as the bad plays were, there's a lot to find encouraging from the game.
 
This was a really ****ty loss... expected more from our offense...

4 tds was what I expected to win.

Only 2 TDs is pitiful.

This is the game that would have sent our team on a winning streak.

Instead we are defeated... and our record is that of a loser...

To the most mediocre ****ing team in the nfl...

Rodgers cant move (but he can pass)and our defense gave him all day... but only 3 times... enough to give the offense a chance to win.

The offense let the team down today...

The damn jets ripped these terds apart... and the steelers got rocked by the Seahawks all day as well.

We better start figuring out how to score field goals... we are going to need 3 a game from here on out.

Our kicker is at 80 percent right now.

If we can't score anywhere near 25 points a game we are going to lose a bunch more...

This sucks ass.

It's not a disaster yet because if we win next week there's a good chance this team gets to 4-3 with the Bills, Saints and Titans on deck however if we can't beat the Panthers at home it's certainly going to be 1-4 and how could you be confident in beating the Titans/Saints if you can't beat any of the Raiders/Steelers or Panthers at home.

Next week a loss pretty much sinks the season, it's either .500 and season on or the circus is in town and we're heading towards 6 wins max again.
 
Hendo is not a RB good for between the Tackles.
