I think we can all agree the offense has not been up to par this season.
At this point, there's only so much we can do about it. Our best WR got injured and is missing the season, our best RB is out until December, our LT situation is messy and our stud TE is looking his age.
So, is this who we are now? Is 30 points a game a distant memory?
What can be done?

I see him as more than that. It cuts the cliff sized drop off from kelce/rice to the next option. It stretches the field just enough for kelce and rice to have more space to operate. Tucking worthy into the mecole role early would have been a great way to get two role players in instead of 1.
I don’t think it’s a matter of Hollywood being the answer. Worthy is the answer but we needed (and probably still need) time to bring him along [Reply]

They could have signed someone that wasn't so injury prone. But that's not really my point. My point is that Brown isn't some magic bullet. He was never going to be. This season was always going to look a lot like last year. [Reply]
I think it's going to be very similar to seasons past. The offense will get going towards the end of the year. Worthy will become more familiar, and things will start clicking. Kelce will have gotten rid of the beer belly. Will be fine. [Reply]

It's the same at LT.
Everyone want's it "fixed" quick and effectively.
Well, those fixes usually cost a whole lot, or get drafted super early. [Reply]

I think we can all agree the "fix" shouldn't have been getting the rookie fucking destroyed operating on an island then benching him. That was fucking stupid. [Reply]

Getting destroyed by a top 5 DE in the league, to boot.
I was encouraged by his comments after that game, though. Definitely haven't given up hope on Kingsley. [Reply]

They shoulda kept playing him.
But I'd imagine if they're doing it this way, they have a reason for it. [Reply]

Same thing with Bieniemy. Notice how he left and looked the same as Nagy did in Chicago, which looks like what our offense was under Alex Smith.
Reid is the real OC but he's older now and is delegating more in season.
And Nagy is just below mediocre.
I'm at the point of giving up on it. There are a multitude of metrics where this offense has slid significantly since Nagy took over as OC. He was an abject failure in Chicago that learned next to nothing since the same flaws are becoming more and more apparent here.
Just gotta wait for him and the organization to mutually agree to move on at this point. [Reply]
