Hopefully we’ll have darrisaw and Jackson back.
Despite the results this is not a bad team, except at QB, the most important and impactful position. Yes we have underachievers elsewhere obviously.
The biggest issues that need cleaned up in order :
JJ’s development
KOC being better at situational play calling
Stopping the run
Turnovers
Stupid penalties
Watching the games, there have been so many tipped balls and fumbles that we have not been able to secure on defense. Things haven’t bounced our way at all this year. So I think turnovers will even out next year.
It’s on KOC to fix the first 2 most important problems. If he doesn’t, his ass should be on the line end of next year.
Kwesi needs to hit a good draft. If his draft and FA work isn’t at least average, his ass should be on the line also end of next year.
So bottom line in all this, I will blow sunshine as long as possible. There has been a lot of good with this leadership. Just look at their overall record.
It looks like the the rest of the year is gonna be for evaluation and development. Hopefully JJ can right his ship. If he shows some improvement, we can at least have some hope for next year.
I’ll post about positions and players at some point, but there have been several underachieving large dollar players this year as well.

Kwesi hasn't hit a good draft yet and just spent 300+ million in free agency lol. Why should his ass not be on the line NOW!?

We’d not be looking for heads on pikes if we saw even just a smigget of improvement.

Totally understand. I am just saying the ridiculous number of injuries is not helping the development of the qb. Then there is the inconsistent play from other units of the offense.

Yup, back to JJM if he can go.
As far as the rest of the team? IMO there is getting the QB right, then everything else all lumped together. Brosmer was clearly not ready to play today.
I thought the D was legit for a good part of this game and really good to see Dallas Turner "arrow up" and making splash plays. He might be hitting his stride!!
This has been a miserable season for a fan and the players too. I cant remember turning a game off as often as I have this year.

This is one of the most snakebit years I can ever remember as a fan of this team, and that's saying something. At this point, I'm just hoping for higher draft position and something to build off of for next year, especially at the QB position.

Yeah it hasn't been "Square One" bad around these parts in a while. I'm fine with staying the course and being patient but every thing and everyone should be under serious scrutiny.
Except for our best player, he's safe (Eric Wilson).
