The answer to your question of what’s changed is: there are many answers and not just 1 thing. opposing teams watch film and prepare and scheme up to what you’re doing. A couple guys in different spots can affect the outcome of plays. Dropped passes. Not being able to sack the QB. Missed FGs. Giving up points on special teams. Press and Doug juggling the play sheet. Lawrence missing throws. The timing of the play call. Busted coverages on defense. Campbell and Williams allowing catches. Jenkins getting caught peeking. Bad penalties.

These are the ones that have cause me grief.

1.  "Couple Guys in Different Spots Affect the Outcome of Plays.
           --The couple guys are Ridley...  And that's it. And he's taking up all the oxygen in the room in terms of play calls.  For whatever reason, it's Ridley that is the focus of any passing play.  
           --Engram is no longer being lined up as a real TE.  He's lining up as a slot reciever and used as a bubble screen option out in the flat.  This play has been run over and over and is nothing but a 5 to 8 yard gain. 
It's a Bull [BLEEP] play by a play caller that has no ability to really call plays.  Ask yourself, when did we ever run a TE bubble screen to Engram in 2022?

2. Last year is was all Doug's offense. Go and read any freaking media outlet. It was Doug running the show. Every game last year was cohesive and looked similar. The offense was dynamic, the offense was
explosive. This year looks nothing like last year.

3. It's not the same system as we ran last year, offensively. Last year the Defense knew that if they could just hold, that the offense would win the game. This year, the entire team doesn't think they are winning the game. This offense reminds me of the Gabbert years. Nobody really thinks we're gonna get things done. There are Mods here that think I'm insane. But deep down, they know I'm on to something. This team is 2 weeks away from either imploding or making a run.

And the only way we make a run is if Pederson takes over the offense and this team. If he keeps letting Press Taylor run the offense, we lose to Atlanta and we get blown out by Buffalo. And then it's just a death spiral the rest of the way.
