I know I don’t see practices so my opinion is uninformed, but it seems like this offense has worked best under AJ Bush. And, as Taylor seems to be the closest thing we have to AJ Bush on the roster, never understood why we didn’t give him a shot. Silver lining to me in this whole mess is maybe we see what we have in Taylor.

Robinson seems like he knows what he’s doing out there but just isn’t BIG level talent IMHO. Not fast enough, not enough arm strenght.

is it bad when the refs blow the whistle for he end of the quarter and I thought for sure we had 12 men on the field during that last play or something like that?

Its frustrating. This feels like a VERY winnable game. But our complete offensive incompetence makes it feel like it will be a 35-7 type of end to it.

So, I haven't followed the football team much. I joined the site to read/comment on basketball. But naturally, as a person who bleeds orange and blue, I want the football team to do well. Can someone explain to me, in a few sentences, why Lovie hasn't turned this around? I don't know the sport or the context well enough to understand why we just aren't very good. Thank you!

I hate saying this, but I know for a fact that the culture Lovie has set is toxic. We hear about the "family" atmosphere, but I've been told for years that his coaching staff is lazy, unprepared and mean. I wish I was making this up.

I kind of figured lazy and unprepared, but not mean.

Why is Barnes not in there - Hansen is too slow and light

How many stupid, undisciplined plays can we constantly do? This is on the staff. We keep making the same penalties as last week. Late hit, off side, ETC. Whitman needs to make a decision and do something.

I honestly don't know what the heck the safeties looking at? It sure isn't the receivers they're supposed to be covering

Receiver had to slow down to catch the ball and still no DB in the picture.

who’s ready for another REBUILD!?!?

What's the over under on how many times we hear "he just ran right past the safety" this year?
