I keep saying it week after week after week after week.
The back half of our WRs… I think by now we can say they suck. Reid knows it. So for the past 2 weeks we’ve been very very reluctant to throw the ball downfield. Instead we rely on lots and lots of sideways passes and WR screens. Last week we used a ton of mesh because the raiders let us do it all night.
We really need to open up the offense because we can only do so much forcing the ball to our top 3 guys. But we get punished every time we do with maddening inconsistency from those guys. Defenses have adapted to our catch and run offense, but we’re stuck in a place where our personnel doesn’t give us any choice but to lean into it.
