Being only marginally better than last season? Worthy likely has a higher ceiling and more potential than Hardman but he is unlikely, at least for now, to be a 6-8 target a game guy as an option on the majority of passing plays. Rice is better than Rice last season so that's good. Kelce is probably worst though.
But mostly what I’m fearful about is that losing Brown is going to be a major impediment to the offense being noticeably better than last season. He was likely big in our schemes and philosophy. I know we typically struggle vs the Bengals but as of right now I'm not sure what would make me confident we dramatically improve over last season.
What does everyone think? How can we ensure the significant improvement over last season that it seems we might need? [Reply]
Feel free to say why you aren’t if you are capable of such thought processes.
I gave just a few examples of my source of concern. Not sure which of those is inaccurate. Also really need to see improvements in the red zone. [Reply]
2. Hollywood being injured doesn’t kill us, but we can probably shelf the idea of the offense being significantly more explosive than it was last year. Worthy will break a few but Hollywood was the plan for getting downfield more and now he’s gone. So we’ll probably have to win a lot of ugly, methodical offensive games again.
Not really a “problem” but a disappointment. [Reply]

So like last season? Sounds like you agree with me. [Reply]

We won so just shut the fuck up I guess?
Winning today was nice, but there are some significant issues on both sides of the ball that need to be improved upon. Luckily we've got 15 more games before the real fun begins so plenty of time to iron out the kinks. [Reply]
Not sure why you wouldn't be a bit concerned. They haven't been as advertised and alot of that is no Hollywood and Travis Kelce being 35 years old. [Reply]
