My take

I'm not even mad that's the sad thing.

I’m not mad about the loss either. I fully expected that.

I thought Sam looked pretty good. His arm looked fine.

I’m mad about the same thing I’ve been mad about all season. Since they gave up 3 sacks in the opener to a gawd awful Houston team.

The offensive line, the highest paid position group on the team, and the highest paid OLine in the league, is an absolute fucking disgrace.

THAT’S what pisses me off.

My take is that even though Sam looked pretty good and made some plays that Ryan could not have made - I still think Ryan would have had a pretty decent passing game against that defense.

That said, I repeat that because Sam was able to make some plays on his feet, we were able to sustain more drives than Ryan.

I think it boils down to 2 things we all already know: the oline is bad, and Reich’s play calling is stupid.

Quenton Nelson is a worn out pussy.

I love JT, but his fumbles have likely cost us 2 games!

JT is hurt. I’ll give him a pass.

We had some decent runs up the middle despite dline being the Commanders strength. JT is at 70%

We should have won this game by two scores. But fumbles and mis communication plague this team.

To me it’s a chemistry problem. Too many QBs over the years. Bad oline inserted.

Still I saw some nice things from Ehlinger. Enough to keep playing him. See what happens when the game slows down for him. He makes pretty good decisions and he is showing good accuracy. He will throw deep and take chances, he will put it up high for tall receivers to get it, did at Texas too a lot. That last pass was clutch, MPJ needs to catch that. Something was up with him today.

Our defense is playoff worthy. Too bad we’re still looking for a QB.

If you think a savior QB is coming through the draft I will say don’t get your hopes up. Not sure about the QB class except that they are better than last year.

If we don’t go QB, I’m praying we get a good LT.

I thought Leonard’s play was curious.

They had him on the LOS in some odd fronts and I think he looked awful. Way to light in the ass to be trying to fuck with tackles.

It was nice to see the INT but if this is how they intend to apply his skill set…

He'll get there, but he's not there yet. He looks a lot slower.

And I know what you're talking about. I remember a play where I think he was blitzing or at least feigning the blitz, and he folded backwards as soon as he touched the guard.

JT is definitely not himself. Still pretty good at 70%. Got stuffed on some inside runs, but some worked, too. The outside/misdirection stuff helps. Not only did Hines (led by Taylor) and Campbell have big runs... I think it was JT's 27-yard inside run where the defender let him run right past him because he was frozen not knowing where the ball was.

I'm actually encouraged by Ehlinger. Biggest reason was his maneuvering the pocket with eyes downfield and not panic running constantly. And his arm strength looked fine, deep balls were accurate.

Also, the explosive plays. We had passes of 47yds, 38yds, 22yds, plus a PI. And we had runs of 28yds and 27yds. All of that is great going forward.

But as for this game... it's redundant, but shit, we lost because we fumbled twice in the red-zone. Bare minimum that's 6 points off the board. It's about as bad as fumbling in your own red-zone and gifting the other team points.
