Kirk is coming to life. Olukoun is still one of the best LBs in the league. Etienne is averaging 4.2 ypc in 2023 and is at 4.9 for his career.
Etienne and Agnew both had over 100 all-purpose yards.
We’re about to get help on the oline with Robinson and hopefully Hodges.
Anybody got any more positives? Hoping Zay comes back for the Atlanta game.
+The team has already been humbled by getting their butts handed to them at home.
+It is still early enough in the season to turn things around
+The plays are there when the players can execute them. Take away the dropped passes, mental errors, stupid penalties, this maybe a top 10 offense right now
+ETN is proving that RB's can be worth their value in the first round
+Walker Little has proven he can be a starting LT in the league
+Cap savings when we cut Bartch and Scheriff.
+ this division sucks so its for us to lose.
So far.
Trevor hasn't been injured.
Plenty of time to fix everything but the OL and DL
They aren't going to magically add talent to those ^ spots, but the guys in house have time to improve and figure out some preventable mistakes and poor performance before the season is lost - it should level up a bit
Everything else can definitely improve with the talent in place
Folks are caught up in overreaction szn right now - take it all with a grain of salt - don't buy into the whine-fest
Ridley is just in a little slump - he'll break out of it
Trevor is going to watch tape and figure out how to adapt to this year's evolving o-line suckage - he did it last year and he'll do it again - right now he's got a hurried clock in his head and he'll sort out how to get on tempo - even if he's unlikely to have a pocket to step into on most drop backs
We've seen this defense (in three games) play over their heads and also lay an egg - the reality is somewhere in the middle and they will settle in eventually to something a bit more consistent - pass rush won't magically transform - but they'll find a way to affect the QB more than they did in week 3 more than not
The likelihood of so many unforced errors continuing week after week is low. Hard for me to imagine a Pederson coached squad stringing together multiple games as sloppy as that loss to the tinhorns
ETN is playing great. Hopefully our staff decides to lean on him more. No reason not to
Positives only? We're not the Denver Broncos, New York Jets or Chicago Bears.
I know it's been a rough two weeks. But, this is the same team from last year. It's the same pattern again.
Bad execution. Timely mistakes. Turnovers. Lack of focus, etc. It's the same team trying to learn how to win again instead of tripping itself up along the road of success.
It'll either get back on track this Sunday or it won't. It is what it is.

The biggest positive, and it is a genuine positive, is that if the team can eliminate the lack of concentration issues like dropped passes, mental mistake penalties and poor communication they get twice as good immediately. And all that huge improvement requires is focus on the moment. After that the players can focus on actually playing better.

Its sad but you aren't wrong. The amount of goof ups this team has committed in 3 weeks is crazy.
Not fixing O-Line and D-Line? We have our arguably two best linemen coming back at some point in Robinson and Hamilton, plus Smoot as well. This team has had too many injuries on the O-Line with Wells, Shatley and Scherff/Harrison all got dinged up, Bartch has not played in camp at all.
I got a killer farmer's tan from sitting in the stands on Sunday.
positive, E!SPN will be showing something like soccer instead of us whiffing on Ridder.
I have a positive. I bought my daughter a modded snes classic for her bday. And I was today years old when I found out Jimmy Smith is a WR on Tecmo Super Bowl on snes.
Stop the drops. Start getting to the qb.
Positives, I think the running game has potential. The run defense is solid.
It’s early in the season, and the rest of our division will probably get beat up by out of division foes worse.
We held Andrew Beck to less than 100 yards on kickoff returns.
