A Hidden Positive with Higgins Out

Again, 40 pressures and 13 QB hits in a single game is ridiculous, and NOT because Joe was holding onto the ball. It was a combination of putrid OL play, and play calling that hung him out to dry. They only ran it 13 times FFS despite having a lead most of the game. Maybe you know…actually change things up when you see your star QB being treated like a piñata. Just a thought.

Don't get me wrong, I do not think we need to sign Tee back, but we do need a reliable #2 WR. Or we need to improve the IOL to significantly improve the running game.

Agree with all that. I would probably start with re-signing Gesicki to have a decent #3 pass catcher, and then draft Tee’s replacement early. 3T and WR are probably going to be their biggest needs going into the offseason. And yes there’s a lot more unfortunately.
