Where are we heading to?

[NCSportsGM]

Where is this franchise going? Right now it appears we have a tempermental QB whos in the middle of puberty and cant lead us to a comeback win to save his life! We've paid all these RB's insane amounts of money, and so far, for what, theyre not even used in Chud's scheme! I got it Cam is learning, although he needs to expedite his learning curve, but this is just horrible to watch. So where are we going and what exactly are we trying to do here, theres no balance on either side of the ball or consistency what so ever!

Your guess is as good as mine. Top 10 pick again this year. Im pretty frustrated with this team right now. At this point it wouldnt shock me if rivera is gone at the end of tge season

I really can't stand Chud and Rivera right now. Our D did all it could today and our Offense just never showed up.

Pretty sure we are heading top 10 again this year, this team does not have an identity and our coaching seems to have regressed.

Offensively we are too predictable. This offense is supposed to be capable of any kind of game plan yet we always run shotgun all game. The roots of the team is power running and we have gotten away from that.

I watched the Browns-Giants game today and even though the Browns lost they gave the G-men a run for their money because they ran it down their throats and when the LB's bit on the run they went to the playfake.

Cam needs to be under center, we will run the ball better and the offensive line will run block better. We also need more speed at WR. I still think Smith is one of the best but teams are forcing us to throw at other targets and LaFell doesn't have the goods to burn people.

I'm really interested in seeing what David Gettis can bring to the table when he comes back. He is the fastest guy on the team.

Defensively I think our guys play their hearts out for the most part. Nakumura sucks though and we need another pass rusher. I like Hardy and Alexander but we need a bonafide guy, a hybrid DE/DT.

The last two weeks have been very frustrating indeed. These were two games we should have won and which could have been real momentum changers too.

Yes, we need a lot of roster moves, upgrades etc in the offseason but even with so many weaker or inexperienced players that's two games in a row where with only 60 seconds left on the board, we were still in with a chance of winning.

So even with Catain Munnerlin at starting CB Jeff Byers at RG, Sionne Fua still in the rotation at DT and only one starting quality WR we were doing well enough to win.

What stopped us? Basic things that just shouldn't happen.

- Thomas Davis missing tackles.

- JStew and DWill both fumbling and dropping passes.

- Steve Smith dropping passes.

- An OC who was given Head Coach interviews in the offseason suddenly removing the TE from the gameplan.

- An OC who was given Head Coach interviews in the offseason declining to target the player leading the team in catches until the game is almost finished.

- Our running game not being good enough to run a TD in from 3 yards out depsite three attempts.

- Letting a team drive 99 yards in the closing minutes to beat us.

If I had predicted any of these things in the offseason you guys would have laughed me out of the building.

This is going to be such a hard season but I do feel like this season is over already and the rebuilding for next year starts here.

And even after having watched every game in the Jimmy Clausen season, this is hard to take.

I agree with the above post... it is incredibly hard to watch because the quarterback is far more talented than Clausen.

I just looked at the rest of the schedule. I see maybe two more wins....

The bright side is that we will have an opportunity to get another extremely talented (and hopefully immediately impactful) player withing the first 10 picks of next year's draft !

[Impulser12000]

were heading to a top 10 pick, maybe top 5. and not heading to the superbowl. sorry khalil

I'm tired of playing for draft picks. Thats what weve been doing the last 3 seasons, the [inappropriate/removed] getting old. I want to be picking 32nd in the first round. Yeah thats what I want because that means we would have won the Superbowl.

Do you think Bill Belichik wants a top 10 overall pick? Fraid not.

The real question will be, what do we do if we're faced with such a high pick that Barkley or Geno Smith are still on the board when we get on the clock?
