Devastating Loss to the Rams (1 Viewer)

[BooBirdSaint]

Our top two playmakers, Olave and Shaheed, are hurt. So it's not like we don't have some talent on offense.
And Olave was dominating before he got hurt. The dude led the league in separation by a pretty wide margin.

Both WR's are certainly weapons. Olave, before concussion issues derailed his career, was a number one. Now, you have to move on as concussions are not a joke.
As to Shaheed, we were able to replace him with a WR off the street in MVS. 7 games 3 TDs and 350 yds is hardly dominant.
Injuries happen but it's not an excuse for another train wreck of a season.

Shaheed is to inconsistent to be a true #2, either keep MVS or get someone that allows him to be the slot/third WR on this team

We can’t run any type of offense with this offensive line. Without McCoy they are terrible at run blocking. Draft needs to be two, maybe three offensive lineman.

Kamara had 112 yard on 23 carries which is 4.87 YPC against the Rams. The OL still needs to improve, but they certainly weren't terrible in run blocking yesterday.

It was pass protection that was horrible

I didn't say it was an excuse for the season. You said we have no talent on offense. Which isn't true since we do have Olave and Shaheed in addition to Kamara and you have now agreed that both are weapons so I'm not sure why you are arguing.

And I didn't say Shaheed was dominant. I said he was a weapon. We need more weapons, but if Shaheed didn't get hurt, he was on pace for 850 yards and 6 or 7 TDs. That's a good season for a #2 WR in an offense that throws the ball as little as we do. Certainly we could use more weapons but the cupboard isn't as bare as you say it is. And frankly MVS has always been incredibly talented but had issues with drops that have made him move around. We have not seen that issue so far so he is playing like he is supposed to.

Ideally you find a true X receiver (or means becomes that guy) which allows Olave to play Y and some slot with Shaheed being used as more of a playmaker. But we do have some weapons right now.

Even that wasn't terrible. Carr had time to throw on most plays. We just didn't have a lot of guys open.
