2-2. Just going to need to tread water until we start to get some healthy bodies back

I just posted similar in the Howell thread...This team has to finally get healthy, frustrating to know there's untapped upside out there.

Least I thought so looking at the roster.

Next week against Cleveland is going to be huge since we have our bye week after that and hopefully can get some guys back healthy for Philly at home. 3-2 would have us sitting in a good position

Need healthy bodies back on the O line and figure out how to stop the run. There’s a guy by the name of Saquon coming up.

The psychology is interesting for me at least; 2/2 sounds a F of a lot better than 1/3 lol! OTOH, 2/4 is a real possibility by the time that Philly game ends.

I was hoping to come out of this world trip at .500 - but that assumed a win today.

I think Cleveland will be more difficult, at least with the injuries we're facing.

Well I'm glad I took an Irish vacation, but other than the last 10 minutes this game was kinda the low point of the trip. Dodgy

It's like the beat writers are trying to clue KOC in on how to succeed.

He runs the same long routes regardless of personnel and DCs are starting to frequently shut us down. He won't run quick game, slants, etc to counteract.

He's had the same issues since day one. He's not learning or adapting. I'm not excited about the future with him at the helm.

I don't think it's just a depth problem. It's a starter problem too. Jurgens wasn't awesome, but neither was Kelly when he was in there. Darrisaw didn't play well either. Our two star free agents, Allen and Hargrave, were nearly invisible, as was Greenard, as was our Pro Bowl DB Murphy. And in what dark corner of the universe does Jordan Addison get caught from behind by a linebacker?

I feel like gameplan played a big part. Hats off to Tomlin, who completely outwitted KOC and BFlo. No, I'm not one of the knuckleheads who thinks we suddenly have bad coaches (no offense to Knucklehead). But there's just something completely out of sync on both sides of the ball right now. We'll likely get it fixed, but will it be too late?

It might just be that the slow gel we all kind of expected was disrupted, and continues to be, by injuries. I don't know, but we have to get it figured out, because Pittsburgh was not a great team. Neither were the Bears or Falcons. We start playing good teams soon.
