Bryce does not see the whole field.  Guys are open and he's not finding them.

I watched those last two replays and trust me, no one was open.  Not even close

So a 20 yard punt.  Nice work, Rhule

Sanders just missed the huge gaping hole 

Half the Lions offense out today.  So if we hold them to 9 we have a chance?

Broncos are low on picks next year.  Bengals would be a better trade.

Burns for Higgans and a 2nd rounder 

Charlotte Clowns 

They making room for Burns

Burns for DJ Moore straight up.  Fix your mistake Fittz lol

Burns for Adams straight up

see this is bad coaching though.  you see this all the time.  that's on the staff.   another reason why Frank shouldn't call games.  dude is lost in his poo playcalling.  Frank botching all kinds of basics too.  Saw that Sunday.   Bryce hasn't been good.  It's tough to argue there is any evidence this staff is able to help this kid out. 

I think they need to install a slow no huddle.   Cam thrived in it.  You can run Frank's simplistic game out of that. QB gets to the line early.  Call ready.  Plenty of time to relax, check out the landscape, time is on your side. 

Oh I agree 100%.  Seems like this organization has always had a difficult time getting to the LOS with 15 seconds left.  Crazy stuff

Watch his body language on the field and on the sidelines. Watch his post game presser.

I have - I see a guy who isn’t used to losing who is frustrated by losing.  I don’t see a guy doubting his physical abilities.

I can only guess but it really looks to me like he's questioning his physical ability to play the game at this level. You see other young QBs struggle but they keep their confidence. They make enough plays and throw enough tough passes to give themselves the confidence that yeah, with more work and more experience I have what it takes to do this. I just don't think Bryce is having enough of those moments. His audibles aren't working. He's really struggling throwing beyond 10 yards downfield. When he tries to scramble and buy time like he did. In college he's getting chased down more often than not. I really think it's for him rattled and second guessing everything.

LOL what???

We certainly had running the play clock down to 0 on each play perfected 

Colts in 1992

Maybe we should start running all our screens to the left side 

Yeah this just reaffirms my belief that he’s controlling everything Bryce does.  “I know there are 5 receiving options out there, but you are only allowed to throw to this one.”

So Bryce cant check out of the screen calls or ask for better plays like Dalton did? OK. 

Doesn’t sound like it.  Sounds like he’s given 2 plays, a run or a pass (typically a screen) and can kill the first to go to the other.  Andy could be heard actually calling new plays at the line.  Bryce is only ever heard yelling “kill kill kill.” 

Yeah this irritates me more than anything.  Let him sling it.  I can’t recall us running any slants, skinny posts, deep posts or crossers, etc.  The offensive system is broken.  Even Andy had to deal with some head scratching play calls and very few mid level/deep shots.  He threw for 300 yards because he threw the ball 50 times.  We have zero creativity, never throw on first down, and constantly force Bryce to play behind the chains. 
 

Let the kid throw the friggin ball.  Run more play action.  Roll him out of the pocket.  This offense currently looks exactly like the Colts offense with Matt Ryan last year.  It’s anemic, predictable, and boring.  

Tickets for home games against the Texans, Colts and Falcons are now $30.  Incredibly sad. 

He had a great game today.  I’d hate to see where we’d be without him defensively.  

Trade Burns for Pitts straight up.  We get an offensive weapon, and make the Falcons worse on defense all in the same trade!

He should be fired, but he won’t be.  Fitt will trade away next years 2nd for an average WR.  Things will only get worse.  

Oh please.  Asking a fan to pay money to watch a team who hasn’t had a winning season in going on 6 years is ridiculous.  Top that off with a host City who lights up downtown purple on the eve of the game is even more asinine.  The people getting paychecks are the only ones who deserve blame.  Pay me 1M per game to attend in person and then feel free to blame me if I don’t show up. 

Yep.  And added Jalen Carter at 9.  Just imagine…
