Watching tonight....Smith could have had 200 yards and probably a couple of scores with one of those QBs.

Not in this O

Kid is good. With AJ out they paid more attention to him and he still got open

When they showed Kelce,he just looked like he was thinking "do I want to go through this another year?" he may still play,but this team will not even be as good next year as they are now

He’s embraced the media side of things. Can’t see him returning. Even if we hire a legit coach.

Only player made a play for us tonight.

Yeah, you can see the difference of the varsity level player when they adjust at the line and make those difficult throws needed in the modern NFL.

Yeah Hurts is now a ball and glory hog,although he wasn't even that tonight

Could have really put up some numbers tonight with the right QB.   Very tough too... dude competes !

They are on that same cycle predictably under Rosie. No contending window. SB season then downhill over the cap management situation for the next couple of years. Same exact pattern. Lesser results.

That is what was good to see.  No AJ....QB struggling...and still put up the numbers with all that.  Very impressive game tonight.  He isn't 💯 physically either.

He was my pick for us. OSU turns out great WR's. Smith-Njigba will get even better in Seattle and Harrison will go#1 next draft following some QB picks. Maybe Howie needs to spend another round 2 on a QB 🤣

No he is a lightweight also. I think he is like 185. Most OSU WR's have similar builds. He can be a 1 about anywhere. AJ and him are a nice tandem,I hope we can keep them together another year or 2,but we're going to need  WR picks soon. If they stay on then we sure need a slot guy that can hurt defenses.

Nothing for me to even try here. If you couldn’t see how bad the coaching was this year? Never going to be able to explain it to you.

Our GM forced out quality coaches in Pedey, Press and Schwartz for these guys. These three aren’t near HOF level top coaches. But so clearly superior to the replacements we got this year. If Rosie didn’t ego force fire those coaches …we likely win last SB and over achievers top seed this season.

I think we see QB drafted fairly early the next draft...2025.  This 2024 one...i see the lines getting reinforced... and probably a DB/LB/ skill position guy as the picks in the first 3 rounds. 

Siri failed by not utilizing our rushing attack from day one. Then was forced to learn from Stechein taking charge and showing him. Then come right back making the same mistake this season Siri made day one. Can’t do much with that. Learned the hard way…but didn’t learn. Can’t fix that.

We’ll draft Oline. Then fail when they are a weakness like tonight.

The whole team has to be blown up.

We need to get a RG. I'm not certain that position is set and a BU RT go get coached up for Lane. We saw even when we were playing ok that when he was out the running game took a dive. So Oline is a need for me. IDK that we need a round 1 or 2 there,but it's a need. A nice RT in 2 maybe. I still like Trotter for us in round 1. He should go late 1 early 2 at the latest(as of now). I would like to see a round 4 RB 'basher" type come in. We did not use Penny all year and that boggles my mind also

I was thinking the improvements at the skull positions....but the current QB had 2 years of probowlers already...  maybe smarter to invest in the defense until it gets closer to the next QB's era?

Absolutely OL....DL too.  For sure they are 2 big needs.

We had the 30th ranked D. How can you not add talent on the side?

IDK we were supposed to have a killer pass rush and it never showed really. I mean not the domination we were expecting. I didn't look up the sack count stats,but the eye test tells me it was under last years. I also showed where our PPG DROPPED from last year,even with ball hog Hurts tush push TD's

CBs, S, LB…we have nothing. Spent high picks continuously on the likes. Whole team needs to be assembled. The trench  investment didn’t work out.

Huge dropoff in sacks. Weren’t getting teams in obvious known passing downs to tee off with the rush. But no pass rush can mask the confidence mediocre QBs had against us. No fear.

Needs. We have many now. RG,RT,DL,TE2, slot WR,RB,LB,LB,S ,CB
