Anyone else feel this way?
Like we’ve reached the point where a high completion pct 300 yard game with multiple tds from our QB still left meat on the bone?
We are getting to the point where we are playing complimentary enough football that, yeah, turnovers become the number 1 thing to clean up?
And short yardage playcalling. First world problems. Hopefully we get a guard and smythe and berrios back tho its a very short week.
But we are definitely in the first world kd problems stage of this franchise. Weird. Wonderful.
Where are you at with vibes and nitpicks on this team?
The biggest things I can name as our choke points are ball security and short yardage playcalling.
I really wish we had a short yardage power back that could plow forward for these 3rd and 1 calls. I thought Alec Ingold would be that but he’s more of a blocker and spot receiver in this offense. This team struggles with physicality on both sides of the ball.
Waddle HAS to get more meaningfully involved. Part of that is the constant forcing to Tyreek, who in fairness is absolutely dominating this season, but the other part of that is Waddle’s inability to make contested catches. Just like how Tua is due for one awful decision every game, Waddle is guaranteed to have 1-3 bad drops.
Assuming he’s in football shape and willing to play, signing Gronk would be a big boost for this team. He’s an amazing blocker and fills the role of big, physical red zone target that we need. Claypool is big but he’s not physical. Hill is physical but he’s not big.
There are definitely warts but I think the constant worrying here is dumb. This is still a top 5 team. Good teams don’t always steamroll “inferior” opponents; this is the NFL and every team has a chance to win every week.
