Default quick thoughts on the game

1) god damn it is good to have football back. a friend stopped by to watch the game with me. hanging out having beers and watching football is just so fucking enjoyable.

2) home loss to start the season. that fucking sucks. was really hoping to have a good week 1 this year. making a statement early in the season would be amazing. but fuck. we werent up for it. which isn't surprising. covid carson missing time from injury and being an anti vaxxer. figured it would be a bit sloppy. seahawks are not a team you can be sloppy with. they aren't puck's mom afterall

3) covid carson wasn't the problem. he wasn't great. gave us his every sunday fumble but the dude had nothing to work with. he showed good mobility and some nice touch. also a bit wreckless with the ball on some of those throw aways.

4) rb's looked good. hines and jt are a great duo. was very surprised to not see mack get a series or two. but nothing to complain about here. hines as a wr will be very valuable this season.

5) this oline was a joke. i understand davenport struggling. i expect it. but smith getting bitchmade was not expected. he was just bad. very bad. glowinski and kelly weren't much better. just an unexpected embarrassing game. wentz was getting destroyed. he won't last like that.

6) the wr's werent bad. can't really judge them on this. was definitely surprised we didn't scheme more crossers to campbell. strachan had a couple clutch catches. that was nice

7) doyle was old reliable. really think MAC could have been used more. especially in the red zone. use that mans talents

8) poor willis. he can't handle Lockett. that isn't a surprise. im not mad about it but it does highlight his weakness.

9) kenny moore had some big boy plays in the run game. that kid has doesn't back down at all. carrie and rock were fine.

10) paye belongs. thats all i needed to see.

11) buckner wasn't noticed to start the game but really started making his presence know later in the game. glad to see him pick up where he left off last year. bonagu showed some speed off the edge. curious to see where he will be when and if turay can play.

12) reich's offenses seem to stall after the 1st couple drives. i can't be the only one to notice this. they are just not great in the middle of games. am i the only one thinking this?

Nope... Not the only one that sees that with Reich's offense and it is very frustrating.

Didn't see the 1st half, but in the 2nd half I saw very little, if any of us moving Wentz out of the pocket...isn't this one of the reasons we traded for him?

I feel like the offense will probably improve provided the o-line doesn’t continue to blow chunks.

Willis got absolutely roasted all day today, but in fairness, Wilson and Lockett are two of the best in the business. They roast a lot of guys.

I am extremely frustrated with the coaching in general. I don't feel like they are terrible, just middling and it will never get us anywhere. Why won't someone make Eberflus a Head Coach, please somebody do it.
