This.

There are guys who balled out today (looking at you specifically, Rico/Fitzgerald/Moehrig/Horn) and guys who didn't, but everyone should be proud of a win like this.

I’ll take a slice, even though I had cake earlier!

People forget how terrible Mayfield was here because it’s become popular to idolize him, since he’s found the perfect scenario for himself. But a 74.4 QB rating (worse than Bryce) a 1-1 TD-INT ratio (worse than Bryce) and a .200 win percentage (worse than Bryce somehow!) meant he was actually better than Bryce here. It’s great that people want to improve the QB room because it definitely needs it, if not an overhaul. But the whole “it wasn’t Baker’s fault” has to be from people who didn’t watch in 2022.

Hmm, good bit of cherry-picking from the "don't cherry-pick" crowd. Wild seeing how bad Dalton was Sunday and he gets excuses made for fake injuries.

I attribute maybe 20% of that to Canales and that's in the sense of forgetting Rico exists, and doing the same with Hendon Hooker. The other 80% is evenly split among a swiss-cheese run defense and a QB who had no business wearing a helmet after halftime, if we're honest.

If he had Jayden Daniels, Rico Dowdle AND Fred Warner at his disposal, yeah, maybe. The talent disparity doesn't get enough attention when we discuss Canales and I say that as someone who has been critical of some of his in-game and pre-game coaching decisions.

Only player deserving of a good grade was T-Mac after that fiasco. And, if punters count, Sam Martin for flipping the field some. No one on the OL deserved a lot of praise, even considering I charged 5 of the 7 sacks to Dalton yesterday. Surprised a few defensive guys didn't get 0.0 grades.

Not shocked. Couldn't hate-watch.

Zavala is on IR. Next.

Meh, he's tall. He's good.

Already lost so many players to injury on the OL that 4-13 is now officially clinched, but I do want to challenge the "don't even point fingers at one person" crowd today to keep that energy the rest of the year, because I'm thinking that's gonna be an impossible challenge for them.

This is easily the worst loss in franchise history when you consider: - the real NFL QB backup savior has had one of worst QB performances I've ever seen - run defense with the worst performance I've ever seen - James Cook all-time NFL single-game rushing yards record - starting C injured and out - starting RG injured and out - starting RT injured and out - biggest margin of defeat in franchise history

I think Dalton could take the snap, turn around backwards and chuck the ball inside the 5, and Canales would say "eh, he probably won't do it again," then trot him back out there.

I really didn't want James Cook to put up 300 yards today, but he might put up 400.

Some impressive young and veteran pieces on this team and definitely more than there's been, but there are still too many people in important positions who are simply unplayable at the NFL.

Likely Moton's last game of the year and another reason why he shouldn't have been extended for big bucks.

Still early.

Already thrown too many passes today IMO.

Great move.

Yeah he definitely deserves criticism for that. Riding the cold hand is wild. But this is a blowout because of the run defense not existing, guys not tackling, and the QB.

The coach ain't the one taking sacks at the worst time and throwing picks...

And yet he isn't as good.

Yep.

OP must've forgotten to add Bryce Perkins and Jack Plummer.
