The defense improved since the Detroit game.

The receivers came through in the Detroit game and then as a group fell apart in the Giants game. At least we know they can do better.

They will work on the running game during the bye. Reminds me of 2014 when they got no sacks for 6 weeks then it changed when they fixed it. Or I hope it will remind us of that.

You get the defense of the Giants game, the receiver play of the Detroit game, and a running game going and you are in win now mode.

The rookie can then sit because the vast, vast majority of the time, rookie qbs struggle. So in effect you are forced between win now mode or play the rookie qb mode...it's one or the other.

BTW I have no urgency when it comes to starting Goff because we know from all NFL history that you can develop a rookie qb by sitting him. You can also play him and take your losses to give him reps. There is nothing out there that will ever convincingly demonstrate that one approach is inherently better. They can both work (and they can both fail). We already know that from the combined weight of all NFL history. It's choose your poison with no "one true way" about it.

See you highlight the problem: Fisher can’t seem to get all of his units to do well at the same time.

He has before. So for me the question is, what's happening NOW. I bet my answer is different from yours.

I don't think there IS a "the problem." I think different posters will think there's a "the problem" and most of them will all be different. Me too. I see problems this year that are unique to this year, and IMO they are fixable. If you don;t then we are merely voting differently.
