We will end up losing in identical fashion where we dominate but dumb self inflicted mistakes beat us. Like Belicheck said, you lose way more games than you win, and this team has consistently shown not to be mistake free enough consistently to overcome their severe WR disadvantage to win 3-4 playoff games in a row.

Not last March. No 'what I would've done is...'.

What would you do NOW?

I would stop with the rotation at WR.

I'm playing Rice and Toney every play unless they need a breather. They are the two most talented.

I'm putting Hardman in MVS' spot. He's the fastest, and MVS never played big anyway. run ****ing go routes until you drop, Mecole. If they don't pull a safety over, we'll chuck it to you.

When Hardman needs a breath, send Watson out there.


Probably run a lot of 21.

Keep feeding Pacheco.

Simplify as much as you can.

They whiffed on the position in the offseason, and now we have a WR group that is basically Rice with some substandard slot guys and gadget players. There’s no way to make chicken salad here.

Uhh, why do people keep pointing to Rice as being anything other than a JAG with the rest? He's maintaining the same substandard production despite having how workload nearly doubled and the dude drops balls just like the rest of them. I keep seeing this sentiment about Rice and to this point it simply isn't true. He's just as much a part of the problem currently as the rest of them.

We say this shit every year though.

Last year it was all the close losses in December to shit teams. Two years ago it was that 6 week stretch and then a few other games, three years ago they weren't beating the Falcons and other teams by enough points, 4 years ago they were 6-4, 5 years ago the defense sucked balls, 6 years ago.... oh wait, that was Alex.

They've been in position to make the play, they just didn't catch a football. Something they do hundreds of times a day.

I'm not going to lose the faith. It's been historically ugly up to this point, but I'm not giving up on them.
