You moderators are so lovable.  And yet so confrontational.  The team sucks because the coaching sucks.  It's not an Oppenheimer movie. I'm not trying to split atoms here.  I'm just trying to explain to you that Doug Pederson has relinquised responsibility to managers that do not have the talent/experience/aptitude to motivate elite athletes.  

This isn't a personal thing.  It's just a reality thing.  

Frangie, Prisco, and Boseli are fun to listen to.  But they all were wrong during the first 2 months of 2022.  You realize Frangie and Prisco thought that Trevor wasn't going to make the next leap to being a franchise QB, right?  Boseli was even on the fense, but he thought the team would come together.  

At no point last year was the O-Line the reason we were failing.  And like I said, this team's O-Line isn't the reason we aren't successful.  

Bro, Love ya.  You need to chill out and accept that the coaching staff is the problem. The players are the same as last year.  It's the coaching staff's inability to motivate, teach, inspire that is the reason we look so bad.

And we look bad.  Dude we look lost out there.  And last year we looked really tight.

What changed???

Carp, I think the bolded sentence is what's giving you the most problem. Did we actually look "really tight" last year? Looking back I don't really think we looked much better than we currently look. The only difference is last year we had a few bad things actually go good for us. Good teams don't require a ridiculously hot hand at the end of the season to even make the playoffs. Look how bad we were for the first half of the Chargers game. Getting as far into the playoffs as we did, did nothing but get everyones hopes high. Truth of the matter, it only would of taken a play of two for us to not even make the playoffs. I think everyone needs to wrap their mind around that. We just aren't where we would like to be. 


As for Ridley, I think he will be just fine. He was out for quite a long time. You see his motor and drive. It almost feels like hes trying too hard. It's gonna take some time, but I think our offense will come around.
