That's why it's so upsetting that Aiyuk is now likely healthy but chose to just abandon the team and his teammates. This offense with Aiyuk back would give us that extra push we still don't have. Hopefully we manage to get it done without him but it does suck knowing what this team could be with Aiyuk, Bosa, Mykel and Fred out there.
Hmm I'd argue that we really just need Pearsall to be healthy. Obviously Aiyuk is a really good player and would make us better but I don't view having Pearsall over Aiyuk as us "handicapped".
when we Pearsall, Jennings, Robinson, Bourne, Kittle, CMC - that's a damn good lineup, they compliment each other very well if everyone is healthy. The real issue has been just health.
im confident we beat the bears with Kittle but if he misses the game, thats a HUGE loss for our offense (run and pass game - Kittle gets a lot of attention).
