It's a drastic measure but they might have to start considering drastic measures. Davidson's likely to go before they take that step though.

Jennings and Patterson need to get in the game. No excuses.

Exactly. But there are some on this board who think TB is the answer to all our offensive woes. One person like TB can make a difference, but it is still a team game and he needs a lot more help than what he is getting, especially from the offensive line.

Well, it should be very clear by now that the team's offensive problems shouldn't simply be put on his shoulders as they were last week, especially the OL issues, which are quite real.
You definetly called it correctly. Our Oline in Pass protect is not good by any means. Need to rebuild this line. It's built for AD to run

Teddy's INT in the endzone? No way you cant put the blame right on him. That was HORRIBLE. No excuse. But Asiata having the ball hit him in the hands and chest? That's all on him. And that's why McKinnon and Banyard should be in the game more. And for the love of gods, get the ball in CP's hands.

While that's mostly fair, Teddy is playing against a superior defense and despite the stats, he's keeping the team in a better position to win. The big differences, IMO, is Teddy is giving receivers a better opportunity for success and our Defense is keeping the Lions in check much better than they did against GB.

He's starting to look like a big free agent bust.

TB is getting time. Either the receivers are not getting open or BW is making poor decisions.

Maybe we should try running the ball down their throats and tire this defense out

anyone else getting irritated when the announcer says "gains a couple" when it's actually 3 or 4 yds?
