When this season is over and the post-mortem is complete, it will really be tough to figure out the main culprit, with so many suspects:
  • Terrible luck with O-line injuries. Just brutal to lose top eight, nine players. Not sure any team has the depth to overcome that type of attrition in a crucial position group. Just destroyed the offense.
  • Loss of talent, both coaches and players to other teams. Think we do not miss O'Donnell a bit, and of course players like Miller? The win/loss difference in the NFL is so thin, losing any continuity/talent hurts.
  • Draft strategy. Eventually, regardless of the short-term result, a constant lack of high picks means either a loss of talent/depth, or, if you go our route and go for big pieces in trades, an inevitable issue with cap space. And problems when those expensive pieces age or get injured.
  • Super Bowl hangover. 17 SB winners failed to even make the playoffs the following season.
On the positive side, we still have some talent and a good head coach. The front office has been responsive and dedicated to winning. With some luck, we can hopefully rebuild the line, especially when some injured players return next year. We have to find an edge, at least one good RB, maybe some upgrades at TE and S. A lot of challenges, but not impossible.

They will get held again. Relax, but can we capitalize on it finally? TBD.

I mean this defense should have turnovers galore against this offense. You act as if our offense isn't decimated health wise. What's the defenses excuse?

They are not respecting the pass. Everyone is playing up. We need to test downfield to force an adjustment.

We aren’t scoring though so what is the excuse? The genius that McVay is this is what we got to show come on…

Our offense brings back some terrible memories of the losing years

Henderson should be the feature back, quit making Cam happy he isn't as capable right now

If someone gets a defensive or special teams score that team will probably win it.
