Alternative Perspective
 

Yeah, the offensive line has been perhaps the worst unit in the league, but...

This team is one dropped TD pass by Pierce in his first game (or a FG miss by the since-cut Specs) from being 3-2.

They are possibly a Jonathan Taylor fumble away from tying last week's game and possibly winning it in OT from being 3-1-1, or even 4-1.

They have no where to go but up, because their offense has been so bad, that it's a stretch to think that they could play worse.

So yeah, hate on Reich. Hate on Ryan. Hate on the O-line (this one I'll agree with). But this team could still win 11 games and take the division once the Jags fold.

2 lucky wins, 2 unlucky losses, and one tie that should have been a win! They need to beat the division teams in round 2, if they do that I think they'll win the division!

Defense wins championships…

Pierce and Ryan seem to be starting to click

Get the Oline sured up and we can still do damage in the AFC

Ryan's numbers were solid in the 2 games against the Chiefs and the Titans, ESPECIALLY considering the college Division I-AA offensive line that has been blocking for him.

Ryan's vision has not been very good ...... but then again, it's hard to have much "vision" when the defense has 2 or 3 lineman/linebackers living in your backfield 2 or 3 seconds after the ball is snapped.

The Titans games, to a certain degree, was unlucky ...... but the loss to the Jaguars was not unlucky, that was a flat-out beatdown.

You're right, I had a brain fart!

Tried to get cute like coach Reich on 3rd and 1.....same result! :D

If they cut Matt Pryor, I like their chances of at least securing a playoff spot. If they keep him and keep playing him, top 15 pick. He's that bad. So bad that he's making the OL look as bad as it has looked. With a competent player in place of Pryor, this unit would be looking at least average right now, rather than the black hole of production it has been. I didn't think one player could make an entire OL look this bad, but I've never seen an OL play as poorly as Pryor.

I couldn't agree more.

I just finished re-watching the game and not only was Pryor beyond bad, but his lack of effort and ability to make whoever is playing next to him look like a bad player is just incredible.

Raimann wasn't good, but gave good effort, never let a free runner loose to the QB and battled his ass off to the whistle.

After re-watching, Pinter didn't play nearly as well at center as some on here have suggested. Maybe he's an upgrade over Kelly but not much of one if that's the case.

On a side note, Granson really blocks his ass of in the run game. Maybe more 2 nd 3 TE sets are in order to get Campbell off of the field? Because he's clearly been surpassed by Pierce and offers next to nothing game in and game out.

Glad to see some people who don't only see the bad. Cue the Negative Nancies any minute

I thought the same. Pinter looked so much better because we're comparing him at guard where he was fucking terrible. But it's not like he's the clear answer over Kelly.

Raimann needs technique and experience. He was good in the run game. Granson does block better than people might think.

Also, DEN front is pretty impressive.
