OK well how long do we have to wait to acknowledge what we are seeing? Bad secondary. Bad line. Bad linebackers.

I’m right there with you, and I got blasted.

Logan Wilson ran right into Knight, who already had no shot at making the play. Safety play is right on the LBs heels too. 

Reports coming out of camp have been that Logan Wilson looks REALLY bad (slow - specifically).

[WhodeyRay]

Stewart sealed the outside and same as last drive, no linebackers to fill. Logan got blown up by a tightend.

more like 6 - 11

Why is Perine on returns? The wheels have come off.

[Clark W Griswold]

That’s starters vs back ups again right? Wow - don’t know how they can be this bad.

This is going to be a historically bad D - we are talking bad about Stone but Battle is the worst player on the field tonight. Replace him before Stone.

I’ve changed my mind. Trade Trey and get picks. This season will go nowhere with this defense. Even back ups are running all over them. Might as well try to build the D for the future.

[RunKijanaRun]

At this point, I’m convinced Trey won’t make any difference. Trade him for some picks & magic beans.

Al Golden is overrated. I hated that hire from Day One.

Smart move might be to trade him and get an extra draft pick for 2026.

But they would have to hit on the pick for it to be worth it….

Why is burrow still out there

[BengalFanInNJ]

Slaton and Jenkins get manhandled and Logan Wilson takes another horrible angle (to be fair, he was playing backside LB).

Were we this bad last year even?

We were terrible last year. I'm not sure we were ever this bad.

No idea why Joe's in there w/ 2nd team skill players

[Destro]

Get Burrow out.

[jj22]

Now Burrow back?

[Nicomo Cosca]

Not impressed with Brooks.

[Joelist]

Meanwhile the Commanders can actually tackle.

I was surprised and against the firing of Anamuro...  Anamuro should have been promoted to HC and Zac let go. Zac is just running of Burrow and Chase's tail.

[BobJones4980]

This is crazy, Burrows in with backups.

If he gets injured the entire coaching staff should be fired tonight.

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

What is this shit offense today?

Joe Burrow and $68.75m/yr in #1 & #2 WRs.
