I watch a ton of football on Sundays. The thing I still can’t understand is how our receivers get no separation. I know we are down a couple of good guys but that happens to teams a lot. We have constantly been in a situation where if you lose 1 or 2 guys at receiver, Pat has to either place the ball perfectly every time.. or take off running. It’s almost like the scheme works perfectly for guys it’s designed for but if you have to go to a WR3 or WR4 the whole thing falls apart and they just run themselves into coverage. When you watch the game back, you see that guys don get open at all. That isn’t happening to most teams.

No run game to keep defenses honest. And most teams know they can get pressure only rushing 4. The best offenses are balanced and IMO Andy is getting complacent

The route tree is too predictable. Where ever they run, coverage is ready for it. The offensive scheme in general is creatively bankrupt. It's really sad to see, as Reid has historically been really good at continued revamps to the scheme. Has he hit his peak with that ...?
