  1. I said this in the game thread and I’m repeating this again: This is our worst loss since we were up 24-0 against the Chiefs. No other loss in those 4 years is comparable even if we lost 31-0 to the Colts in 2021 or 40-0 to the Bills that same year. With the expectations this team has now and how we went “all in” on a rookie contract with Stroud, this was PATHETIC. Just regroup and beat the Jags next week to start 3-1 on the year.

  2. Type of game you don’t even check your fantasy teams for the day. Just done with football for the week. Oline unserious football & I would’ve liked to abandon the run earlier than we did.

  3. Every team, even the great ones, will have games like this. The problem is there is nothing that leads me to believe this is a great team. The offensive line is finally healthy after investing so much into it yet they’re actively sabotaging you. You traded for Diggs but the few times Stroud does get protection he can’t find anyone. The secondary is always playing ten yards off and the d-line is inconsistent.

    People keep saying that we’re so talented, but maybe they just aren’t as talented as everyone thought. They struggled to squeak out wins against bad teams in Chicago and Indy. Then the entire organization got embarrassed against a better one. Coaching staff was completely outmatched and the players kept failing on crucial downs. I think we can still win this division, but they are NOT ready to compete with the big boys until proven otherwise.

  4. The Good:
    – Diggs looked pretty good today and was the one reliable guy on offense.
    – The defense had some lapses, but they were put in a bad position by the offense or terrible calls multiple times. They stepped up on most drives against a very hot Minnesota offense.

    The Bad:
    – CJ seemed to have an okay game in him, but it was marred by all of the penalties and blocking failures. Later on in the 4th it turned pretty ugly.

    The Ugly:
    – Tunsil’s penalties are getting out of hand. For the past couple of seasons you could argue that his value as a blocker outweighed that, but it’s at the point where he’s killing multiple drives.
    – In general, the team suffers from penalty issues on offense that squander the talent we have. It’s not just drive-killing, it’s completely dysfunctional.
    – The offensive line was so bad that it deserves a third mention. Aside from the running game week 1, it’s been consistently manhandled and has kept us from establishing any kind of rhythm.

    I was willing to give it a wait, but the offensive issues that we saw in the first couple of games seem to be way more serious than I first assumed. Something has to change if we want a chance at making a run. Being generous, we’re playing at the level of a fringe wildcard team. Thankfully the defense has kept us afloat, otherwise we’re sitting at 0-3. We can turn it around, but it’s going to fall on making changes to the offense.

  5. next week is a must win game or we are looking at going into new england on a 3 game losing streak
