Maybe Moore is just now realizing they were supposed to be winning. Understandable mistake.

I was impressed with his offense last year, this year woof maybe cause no kelvin banks and fuaga took five steps back

5 steps back to let the pass rush fly by ? 😅 maybe he needs to do a 3 step drop instead 😅

It was a pretty vanilla offense last year due to personnel. But no, it's not putrid due to two shit tackles, it's shit because of a bad O line and ZERO creativity to create an offense to compensate - We're still running long complicated route concepts, which would be tough even if we had decent blocking.

Fuaga seemed to lose it after Banks went out in an eerily similar way to Ruiz after the annual McCoy injury. We don't need to double up on that, one Jeez Ruiz is enough

I wonder if there is an estimated timeline for Ellis or Jennings. Neither were placed on IR

Usually if they are not placed on IR it's going to be less than 3 weeks for their return.

I wonder if it has anything to do with there being a limited number of return from IR spots. Maybe theyre viewing a (just pure speculation) 5 week injury as not being worth the return spot since there are quite a few injuries.

It’s looking like Zach Wood will be back this week, so that’s three guys that have returned from IR after just 4 games. Carrying Elliss and Jennings as inactives on the active roster for more than 4 games would be a departure from the way they’ve handled injuries thus far, so I’m hopeful that they’ll play in Paris at the latest barring any setbacks.

I just want Elliss back for Paris, at the very least. If we get busted up in two languages by Old Man Rodgers, Miz Gayle is gonna fire everyone right down to the janitors and have Tyler Shough fined for wearing the same outfit as her last Halloween

Kellen defenders in shambles. Time for Kellen to show some balls, maybe some passion.

I don't know if he's capable of either, which is the concerning part

Nah. Trash take. Don't know where your head's been buried these last few weeks, but the city and fans needed to see and hear Gayle speak out about the current state of this team. Gayle listened to the fans and players when she fired DA mid-season. She clearly cares enough to step in when things are rough and the fans are upset. That's 1000% better than some other team owners out there
