First one of the year for me. I didn't watch this game close enough as I was at my nieces communion party. However what I saw well....
1. Wentz, Some good plays, some ok plays, some really bad plays, some plays a junior high QB wouldn't throw. He is trying to do to much period. He doesn't have a very good supporting cast around him (More on that later). but he just isn't what he once was. Was good to see him running some today, he really had no choice as I didn't see many receivers open. THis is against a bad Cincy team Overall I give him a C- for his performance,
2. THe Wide Receivers - Aside from Greg Ward they have nothing zippo nada. Nobody can get open period. They should start to cut guys now and bring in more players. Its simply bad draft pick after bad draft pick. At the end of the game Wentz was throwing to Ward, Ertz, Hightower and Burnett with a sprinkling of Richard Rodgers.
3. I am not sure what this team does in practice but I am tired of seeing receivers running backs etc slow down on go patterns> this should be pitch and catch and yes the QB is overthrowing some passes but watching these receivers slow down and give up is terrible .Yes I am looking at you Miles Sanders (That throw probably doesn't complete anyway but it looked bad).
4. The injuries on this team are beyond laughable. Since 2017 it seems like every week they lose two or three starters. Goedert, Jackson, Peters, Maddox all got hurt today. All teams have injuries and looking at the 49ers and what they did today with all of theirs you have to wonder what is happening in that locker room. Simply put the next man up can't play on this team.
5. Doug Pedersons play calling is really bad right now. The first thing he needs to do is take a good look at himself in the mirror. Pass on first down, run on second down every other series and be 3rd and long. This was one of the worst run defenses in football.Pound the damn rock. The put Hurts in there to botch a handoff to Sanders then putting Wentz in there on 2nd and 13 and expecting him to dig them out of the hole was just play stupid. Doug is a problem right now a major one.
6. Pryor and Herbig would be shown the door today if it was me as the GM. You simply can't hold and jump offsides when you are in field position to win the damn game. Neither of those players are winners and both should be cut. They are not rookies either Pryor is in third year, Herbig in his second. Its not like they are exceptional talents. They both are very replacable. They need to send a message to this team that the penalties will not be tolerated.
7. Linebackers, how to you continue to roll these guy out there. You spent a 3rd round pick on a linebacker see if he can play. If not it will be yet another bust of a pick.
Overall I don't think this is much more than a 4-12 team. Down their top three receivers plus their 2nd tight end, 4 starting offensive lineman (Including Peters). Linebackers stink. The team just is not very good.
