And Jamin Davis sucks. 

We are getting abused on both lines of scrimmage. This is such a frustrating game. 

You guys putting this on Taylor are funny. There is nothing doing with our offensive gameplay today. Totally unimaginative and predictable playcalling.

I put this entirely on Turner.  You constantly put your OL and QB in known passing situations because of your insistence on getting zero yards on first down.  I have been saying for weeks it’s going to catch up with them.

 

FWIW, the only first down they threw on, which was their first overall, was TH’s only completion of the day. 

1000%

This is a really really frustrating start.  And I put it on the offensive playcalling.  Our D gets us a huge turnover and we absolutely crap the bed.  Turner looks like he has no idea what to do out there today.  He's so absurdly overrated. 

Ball was coming out.  100% a fumble. 

What kind of playcalling is this?  I just don't understand the infatuation with Scott Turner.  I just dont.  4th and 3 and hes got no immediate read????

Cmon.  Way too many mistakes already.  Can't have penalties like this.

Awful series of events there.  And just terrible play calling.  That first down needed to be playaction not a run for no gain...

Cmon defense!!!!!!  Yeah Landon!!!  LFG!!!!!!

My heart can’t take this people!  Great win!  LFG!!!!!!!!!!  I love you all. 

I feel like we have to score a TD right??? There’s like a 100% chance our kicker misses this no matter the defense….

This defense is such hot trash

Do NOT get conservative Turner!

They finally figured out we have no linebackers. 

This team. No killer instinct at all on this defense. Really frustrating. 

This team just refuses to take advantage of opportunities and put teams away 

I have to say, actually having faith that an offense will convert third downs is a new sensation for me. 

Dayum. Great challenge, RR!

I love this thread.  That game took it out of me; i was so wired that I slept terribly.  In any event, great team win when all was said and done.  A few thoughts:

1. I really like Gibson, and you can see him improving; there was a run last night where he really showed patience behind his blockers the way McCissic always does.  However, and this is a big however, they way he holds the ball must be corrected.  It's not high and tight enough, and he doesnt protect it well in traffic.  Can't understand why that hasnt been fixed yet.  
2. Special teams has me concerned--big time.  And Carter is looking shaky as punt returner all of a sudden.  The blocked/returned PAT was so Redskins, it was hard to stomach.  
3. I'm formally putting forth a proposal to change Shaka Toney's name to Shaka Khan.  This must be done.  
4. Loved what I saw out of Taylor last night.  He is like our exorcist--all of the demons of this franchise game out to hunt last night, and he fought them off.  Really, really impressive performance from him, and I love the confidence he brings on offense and they way he elevates those around him.  With Scott Turner, my biggest complaint is that we dont need to take the ball out of his hands on third and short.  We could spread the field and let him scan options and if it's not there, scramble for the first.  We have to switch up our third and short looks--they have been holding us back during his entire tenure here.  
5. That TD to Logan should have never, ever been overturned.  League office needs to explain that reversal.  There was not clear and convincing evidence that it wasn't a catch.  The standard around these reviews is inconsistent and incredibly frustrating.  As a general matter, the quality of officiating is in serious decline in the league and has been for quite some time.  Even the ball spots seem to be off routinely and were off last night on numerous occasions.  I can't recall a game or a season during which I've watched football where I've noticed the spotting to be off so consistently.  That's ref 101 type stuff.  
6. Taylor should be our permanent starter next season.  We would be crazy not to build around the guy.  He can get us there.

Centers gonna be hard but the new guy seemed to fill in adequately… swapping a mediocre kicker for another one shouldn’t be too hard, but I bet we all wish we kept dusty now.

The curse of Dustin Hopkins. And oh no Gano will never miss another field goal. Unreal.

Correct. It’s on the coaches. So if those guys aren’t listening you move them for assets to find guys that will listen and play within the scheme. 
 

It ain’t talent if they don’t help the team. It’s liability.

I agree but they are young (no pun). Coaches need to ride them. Chase shouldn’t be a captain if he ain’t gonna show to OTAs. Maybe this is the kick in the ass that guy needs or he will be out of this league faster than he could possibly realize. 
 

and I Love Shaka Khan! 

Gotta make this a two possession game here. No excuses.

I seriously would consider trading Sweat and Young. Not saying I’d pull the trigger. But these DEs are playing in the scheme and the D is performing. 
 

It is NOT a coincidence that Young and Sweat went out and the D got better. 

I think that’s a slight overreaction. We don’t trade away big time talent because the coaches cant get those guys to play the scheme. That’s on the coaches. 

Shaka Khan sighting!!!!!!
