we are super injured and it just doesn't seem to be getting better. I hope we can pull off a win on TNF, and the long rest week will help the guys get better

anyone who watches other games will see that nearly everyone has struggled this year.

my biggest concerns are still the o line and special teams. Our defense could be fixed with a trade for a good d end, which a handful can be bought.

silver lining is we played god awful and still had a chance to win it. I hope we have a big time bounce back against the rams. Let's hope the young guys bounce back and the team comes out with mad energy.

Bro, he just played poorly. Bad decisions, poor placement, isn't taking what is there etc etc.

We gotta get over the "he's hurt" stuff, all these players aren't playing at full health. It's football.

I like Brock and glad he's our dude, but at some point we gotta stop with the excuses. So he can only play well when the OL is perfect, it's 75 and sunny and he feels 100%?

We aren't gonna win many games when he's turning the ball over so much. I could be wrong but 1142 passing attempts with 34 TOs isn't good. Feel like Lawrence is better there and that's not a good thing

This post is spot-on. He played this way in week 1—and he played this way last season. It is now a trend. A bad one.

Krueger was right. Said the foot bothered him in practice and was sailing throws all week.

Thought of the same thing after listing to the Krueg show all week..

Built in excuse, he played so the foot was fine.

Not an excuse at all. Krueger was pointing it out all week, not after the fact. I'm not excusing his play, but it's on the coaching staff to recognize and keep him out until his toe is fully healed.

They don't really have a choice. It's injured QB #1 or injured QB #2.

QB #3 is not a realistic option.

Even with the rest of the team underperforming, they win that game if not for the 3 TOs imo. He's the dude making $250M and needs to lead the pack, not depend on everything else to go right around him to win games all the time. That's all I'm saying.

FWIW the OL was graded as one of the best PBLK teams through the first couple weeks (based off PFF and ESPN). I don't think they're amazing at all, but the narrative that it's all them regarding the passing game is silly. I'm more worried about the run blocking.

Back to Brock, we all think he's a quality guy and you can stomach the TOs when he's tossing a bunch of TDs on top of it, but outside of one yr that hasn't really been the norm. How confident do we feel that he's gonna lead this team down the field and score a game winning TD at this pt? Feel like he's getting plenty of opportunities to instill confidence in the fans and overall I'd say it hasn't been great.

he's gotta get back to the basic, take the plays in front of him (look at McCorkle), actually use his damn legs on those 3rd down plays (because he's not McCorkle there). Be smart and understand what you can and can't do well.

I agree, fumbling is on him. As far as we can tell, the INT are poor decisions on his part. He has to be better. A flaw Brock has, IMO, is when things aren't going well - he starts to overcompensate and that's when things go bad. I think his foot is bothering him, clearly from all the high balls, and the run game not going - and he's over compensating.

the run blocking has been really bad by the OL but I think it's more than that. It's not hard to stop runs when you sell out to it and know the team is struggling to pass. I think Kyle needs to be more creative.

i get it that it's a challenge with all the key injuries but I feel like we are keeping things too simple.

I just think there is so much to blame for that performance as a team. We need to play better in all phases. We nearly stole that game but we need to start actually playing right.

i think the injury factors into his poor play but that doesn't mean I don't hold him accountable for it. At the end of the day, he had three turnovers and that's never acceptable. Brock was disappointing.

That game yesterday was just disheartening as a whole, IMO. I think We are better than that.

the only position that I think is a glaring weakness is pass rush. Without bosa we have nearly no pass rush. I'd like to see us make a trade.

hopefully this short week lets the guys forget and we can have a big bounce back. I'm concerned about Ricky

Going back the last few weeks - I thought Brock would miss this game. I'd of rather played an injured Mac than Brock, I'd of let Brock heal up. Just my opinion.

is what it is now. The short week doesn't help since we still have two hobbled guys.

20 ints in last 19 regular season starts, definitely a trend.

atleast hes taking some blame.

Got dam - I knew it was bad, but not that bad.

As soon as Pearsall went out I think it really messed with Brock. I still think he needs to play better, but Ricky was the one constant we can count on at the WR position

What in the world do you mean by constant? Are you saying in the limited # of games Pearsall has appeared with Brock, Brock's efficiency drastically increases or something?

Brock had a horribad game. This is the type of game people point to when they say he's not a franchise guy. I love Brock, but these kinds of games are troubling.

He means Pearsall is the only dependable WR we have atm. Jennings has been hit and miss, Pearsall has been mostly golden. Nobody else has done anything of note.

I wanted to chalk up last year as a bad team year and believe this year will be different. But. This year is starting out worst than last year. I'm a big Brock fan and hope he turns it around.

He did not play this way in week 1. His accuracy and ball placement was excellent week 1. We can call out the bad without extreme takes.

And NY that goes for you too, no need for hyperbole. Brock doesn't need a perfect OL or 75 and sunny. Guys need to make plays out there. It goes both ways...does every pass have to be perfect to be caught? Is it too much to ask that a ball not be bobbled up in the air so the defenders can grab it? Farrell fumbling it pretty sure had nothing to do with Purdy. Neither did Bourne dropping a huge 3rd down conversion and possible TD throw or the punt return TD allowed right after that play.

Purdy played poorly. I don't know if his injury was an issue but I do know there were plenty of sloppy mistakes by the players not named Purdy. And we're somehow shocked that QBs with inconsistent play around them aren't dominant? Bourne had 3 drops all on his own. A WR who Brock has barely practiced with and he's playing 2nd most WR reps in the game.

You take this game and flush it. Much bigger fish to fry now and arguably a bigger challenge, especially if Pearsall can't play. Everyone has to play better if we want to win Thursday and it definitely starts with Brock but no he doesn't need perfection...but whoever is out there also has to make plays for their QB. It won't always be pretty but guys get paid for a reason. If the play is there to make, make it or you're not beating good teams. We no longer have the roster to simply dog walk everyone.

I guess it's safe to assume that Purdy is good for at least 2 turnovers a game

Last year with Mason, we actually had a running game. Last year, Kittle played all season.

I would argue that the team as a whole was is better shape last year than it has been so far this season.

I think Brock needs to play better, but if we could catch the damn ball, no one would be saying Brock had a horrible game, we need to start Mac, etc.
