“But isn’t this the defenses problem” some may say.

I gotta say even if the defense is making mistakes and hasn’t played well, the offense is making their job harder than it needs to be especially in recent weeks.

• Baltimore: everyone didn’t show up that day. The defense played poorly but the offense also did nothing to take time off the clock and allow them to catch their breath.

• Raiders: the offense had turnovers and missed opportunities to make that game a higher score. The defense only had one drive they gave up points on in that game.

• Bears; 4 turnovers. Need I say more? It’s hard for a defense to recover when you keep coughing up the ball.

• Packers: stalled drives, 4th down stops and turnovers again.

And you know what I think the problem is on the offense? WR use.

Josh Reynolds has been cut out of the offense after they played Tampa. In his 5 games since, he has 43, 13, 15, 11, and 15 yards. Before the Baltimore game he didn’t have a game below 50 yards. Before today’s garbage time score he hadn’t scored a TD since Carolina.

Jameson Williams whether we like it or not has not stepped up into a role people want him to be in. It’s been since week 5 since he’s been back and he’s had no more than 2 catches in a game.

Kalif Raymond had his first truly good game this year. He’s been essentially a non factor all year: only one game above 50 yards this season before today, only 2 games above 3 catches all season. Just 1 TD.

DPJ we acquired weeks ago and he has yet to play. It’s been 3 games.

This receiving core at this moment is just St. Brown and LaPorta. That’s it. And it’s beginning to take a toll on the offense. The RBs have played well yes but this team is lacking any sort of depth beyond St. Brown at WR.

Shoring up WR depth is a massive need in the draft. This WR core needs a big boost.
