POLL: Bolts Are Tanking...What Changes Need To Be Made?

[Boltjolt]

This team needs to invest in Trent Williams. Go to the redskins and make them a real offer. He is better than any rookie we could get and he could help us right this offensive shit show and actually give Rivers the time he needs to throw. Short of that we stink and will have a hard time making the playoffs. Defensively we need Derwin back yesterday.

They need to do something. It's Tevi that needs to be replaced, not Scott. He has been a lot better than Tevi and a move to RT IF T. Williams was acquired would be great.

Tevi is clearly a liability.

^^^ This.

To be fair, only six teams in the AFC have better records than us after 5 games. A lot of football to be played and apparently a lot of teams have issues. Curious season.

I believe we should make a trade for an immediate impact player. So I disagree

[Boltgang74]

If TT at least Tries to make some kinda trade or somethin to seriously help this team out then the season aint a wash.If he pulls the usual do diddly shit move and hopes we somehow stop playin like a high school team until we get a few guys back from injury, this season(one of Rivers last few) could be toast.

How hard is it to beat this team when they'll never rush more than 4 to pressure the qb and drop the D backfield so deep that they don't even challenge the receivers?

[Boltgang74]

Yeah the defensive scheme yesterday looked pretty bad.I hate that Gus doesn't just say fuck it and blitz more.Way too cautious.

Rushing 4 is good when you have an amazing Dline. Our dline sucks not counting Bosa.

The same issue we've had for many years is preventing us from being contenders: one of the worst o-lines in the league.

Imagine how different this team would be with an average line. Doesn't even have to be great, just not among the worst in the NFL. Unfortunately, that's a multi-year rebuild, and it won't happen during Rivers' career. Probably won't happen after he retires either. Management is the problem.

This sums it all up.Secondly coaching is an anchor holding this team back.But again that falls on...yep you guessed it management.

Nah. Bolts win the next three in a row.

5-3 here we come.

They Better or else we already talking about the NFL 202 Draft.

[OhioBolt]

Surprised nobody said this but stop running Eckler at the goal line he has fumbled at the one 3 times this year one in the opener against the Colts which we escaped with a victory, again in Detroit which we lost, and then against Denver, I think he did this once last year also.

[Caslon]

The O-line isn't giving Rivers enough time to set up as in the past (thanks a lot TT). No wonder Rivers has to quickly zero in on one receiver when others are open. It's as if TT was thinking Rivers is tough and can take some hits without considering he has no freaking time to look over the field. Gamble taken, gamble lost. It's all on you TT, or those pulling your strings. This team is staring at a possible 7-9 season, I'm sorry to say.
