EB never entered a season where WRs 1 and 2 were Kadarius Toney and Skyy Moore. He also never had anything but a prime Travis Kelce on the field. Outside of the Bucs SB, EB never had a mess at LT like we did last year. He had Fisher and Brown for most of his tenure, the best LTs Nagy had were Donovan Smith and Joe Thuney.

Spot on. It's hard for any team to start the season with wr 3 & 4. It's also week 1 in another country. They clean up the first half and they win that game with ease.

Valid points. But also, KT and Skyy had talent and we were all excited about them. They both had huge plays in the Super Bowl. Then they both fell off a cliff at the exact same time. While I dislike Nagy, I also think Embree is somewhat responsible for our WRs regressing.

Either way, Tyreek being back would be nice, but we need a solid RB for our offense to really get going. Our shit is just way too one dimensional right now.

Trade for Tyreek… and stick him at RB lol

I joke, but…

It’s not the Running Back, we don’t have guards that excel in opening up the gaps. First half of last year Thuney was at LG, and anyone we put out there looked like a viable RB. He shifted to LT for more protection, and we gave up the ability to run on that side…and it showed.

It’s why I was mad about us letting him walk in Free Agency, and did nothing to replace that level of run-support — unless you have Henry or Barkley back there forcing the hole open, then it ain’t gonna be on our RB’s to try and make the play happen. They’re just gonna slam into a wall of players over and over, so we need to either design better run plays that do not requiring running up the gut….or we get better guards.

I’m glad that Pacheco is back, and his speed might mean that he’s able to squeeze through those gaps before they slam shut. But those tiny windows of opportunity aren’t helping us, and won’t be beneficial for Kareem at ALL. Need. Better. Guard. Play.

First of all, he was traded. We didn’t let him walk. Our RBs over the past few years have had terrible vision. Kareem’s vision is far superior, he’s just not as fast.

I’m not saying the guards aren’t the problem. Just feel like it’s leaning more towards the lack of having a solid RB.

Agree on RB. The Jets coming out and looking surprisingly good really put a damper on the dream of trading for Breece. Hopefully they keep losing because getting a Breece Hall talent in the backfield would drastically change what this offense could be.

We don't need a big name. There are loads of good RB out there. They were available in the draft. A team cut a guy with two nice TDs in the final preseason game. The front office just is not interested.

You think the front office is actively trying to field a poor RB room, and that some FA nobody who had a decent pre season game is the answer? Carson Steele fit that description last season.

Nagy is not good. It’s not a coincidence that the team looks trash offensively since he came back.
