So whats the excuse this year?

[duke1861]

I didn't catch the game but watch the highlights and such. Obviously something went wrong.

Bad O-Line play
We didn't bring in enough free agents
Bad coaching
Poor defensive play
Poor offensive play

Just curious as its a new year and a least for 1 game its the same crap. I wanted to get the thoughts of those who watched the game. Its obviously VERY early but this wasn't the result any of us expected clearly.

i think the defense played well enough to win , team wasnt prepared , o/line stunk no run game etc

 

[countryroads316]

1.Coach Gruden is trash
2.Offensive Line Didn't Block worth Shit
3.Cousins is not a longterm QB
4.Why didn't we use Thompson more or Perine any
5.Stupid defensive play calling allowed multiple 3rd and long conversions

So I am guessing KC gets another free pass this game too. right?

So you think it was a preparation issue not a personnel or lack of talent issue? I didn't see the game but I was hoping we would have done a better job addressing the NT and LG spot this offseason. It seems like neither of those positions led to the loss???

the excuse is that we suck this year.

You might be right. We might need one more offseason worth of draft picks and free agency to get us to a better level of talent.

KC was off all game. You cant win when you oline and QB plays like that. Plus Pryor was bad today. Its tough to win in this league when the offense can do anything

This is the order of blame.

Coaching on the offensive side was inexcusable. There is no way an OL as good as ours was last season, should have sucked like it did today.

OL was atrocious.
That killed any possibility of a runnng game. Run game sucked.
That killed any chance of our QB being successful. QB sucked.


Defense played well.

I don't even thing we ran the ball enough times. Red zone offense stinks again. KC pick in the end zone was the game changer.

that sums it up all of it

How many times do you run for a single yard before you say fuck this?

Why didn't Perrine get a chance?

Including Kirk's runs, who tied at yards gained with 30, we had a total of 17 rushing attempts.....That's TOTAL!!

My best guess, lack of trust and youth combined to keep him seated. Maybe next game?

 

[SoCalWizFan]

Among Cousins many issues was focusing on Pryor too much. Did he forget about Reed & what @ Doctson? O line was awful.

 

[skinsdad62]

well throwing that pick hurt a lot but 4 tos is the story

The fact that Cousins' agent wants him to be the top paid QB in the league is mind boggling. It doesn't appear to be all of his fault but he is not a top QB in this league.

I also don't think Fat Rob is the answer and I think the coaching staff needs to come to this realization. If Perine isn't the answer than a top draft pick in 2018 will have to be. This team has got to start running the ball with some sort of success.

I just don't get this organization. We build mostly through free agency...it doesn't work. We build mostly through the draft....it doesn't work. We re-build our front office...it doesn't work. I am about out of ideas here.

Three TOs lead to 21 of the Eagles 30 points.. but that INT.. that was the killer.

I know its week 1 but Gruden does not appear to have made the best coaching changes. We could end up 15-1, but after the preseason and Week 1, it doesn't seem like things have mixed well at this time. Lots of football left.

 

[redskin4209]

Don't forget KC also over threw a open Crowder in the first half which was TD plus the INT thats 14 pts right there. We have multiple problems.
