I agree with ZN although we may not agree on all of the position groups and reasons.

IMO, the only thing that truly needs fixing is the online. Defense is decent. Health and a couple additions wouldn’t hurt. We’ve got a bunch of young WRs and a couple TEs. Could be the third year before we determine with of them are keepers, but we have enough to sort through. Would be nice to add a vet mid-tier receiver or receiving TE.

If Goff progresses, the online if fixed and the coaching and play calling on offense improve, we’ll be competitive for the playoffs next year.

Scaffold said, “we’ll see if he does.” Twice. He does, not we do or they do.

Not the best way to express himself if what he meant was something like, “as a veteran and leader, I’m excited about Goff and how he is already laser focused on holding people accountable. I’m doubling down on his comments and challenging everyone to work as hard as me and him this offseason. Put in the time and expect to win next fall with Goff as our quarterback or find somewhere else to play and don’t come back.

I don’t think Saffold is part of the solution plus and he takes up more cap space then he is worth.

Early report, but still good to hear Goff is talking to his team.

Sounds like Saffold needs to go. He doesn’t believe.

The team is still close.

They need to fix the Oline and bring Goff along. That’s all they need.

And heart, they need heart. You gotta have heart.

With the right new coaching staff, the team still makes the playoffs next year. Goff has to develop.

Good find

I believe it is a coaching issue.

Yet, how much can be pinned on the move?

Teams that move normally earn a poor record the next year. Teams that draft a QB normally earn a poor record the next year.

But

This was not a normal team in those circumstances. They were 7-9 last year, not 3-13. They were young, kept most of the team together and should have grown.

The online is by far the most disappointing unit to me this year. They should have been better and that should have led to 4 more wins.

I don’t get it.

Very cool,

Thank you

Well done Sir X!

Water is why they would have to bring the western half of Oregon and Washington with them.

Although I’m sure desalinization of seawater could also become a big industry.

This is disappointing.

I thought the oline would be improved this year and the offense would be a little better as a result.

They need a new coaching regime next year. They just aren’t good enough and I don’t see them miraculously getting better by the end of the year.

There is enough talent on this team, it’s past time that it was coached up.

Regardless, don’t start Geoff until he is ready. Once is fundamentals are correct, they should give him a few series a game to ensure they hold. If they do, give him some more time so he gains experience. If they don’t, then keep working on them in practice without putting him the game.

We’ll probably scrap our way to seven wins, somehow.

Rams have 3 QBs they can win with. Goff did not look lost and made one great pass to cooper that could have been caught. With Dallas D coming after him, I bet they decided to pull him and not risk injury. Mannion commanded the pocket. Couple bad throws. More good decisions.

Several third stringers looked good. Hill (he tackled), seau, Spruce (played like he did in college.

Oline opened some holes and backup RBs looked good.

Cooper has some game and higbee gets open and can catch.

Quick got open caught the ball and can block.

Several play action first down throws.

We may have 9 defensive linemen that deserve to make this team.

Ogletree went into the hole with some speed to tackle.

Wow, defense sucked early. Focus? Game plan? Prescott playing over his head? Don’t know and they will play better, but that was not fun to watch.

Legitimate questions about Goff’s velocity? Not in the measurable’s I have seen.

That’s pretty cheap.

Worth it even if we only get 8 good games out of him before he goes on IR then bring up whoever on the practice squad that is ready.
