But we weren't at the cusp of winning the division because we were good. This division is bad, and reality looks like if Shough had been starting the season instead of Rattler, NO would be winning this one. It's like us "winning" the division at 7-9. How can you win a division without a winning record?

Your hot takes are hot poo.

Deserve is a better question for me. I don't think we deserve it. The ending of that game bothers me. As a fan, it bothers me. As a competitor, it really bothers me. I saw something yesterday I really don't like and it goes against everything Keep Pounding represents. I don't think we deserve it.

I forgot about the last score, but you still never fugging quit, especially when youre offense.

Clausen was bad but he didn't play scared, just spectacularly terrible.

It feels like whoever wins this division will somehow manage to do it with a losing record even if they win next week.

I would have laughed like hell if Seattle had tossed one for a TD instead of doing a kneel down after we left 30 something seconds on the clock.

And still pretending that having your LT, QB, and 2 1st round WRs on rookie contracts doesnt skew those numbers even more. We've invested far more quality picks into offense than the defense. We've heavily invested in the offense at the expense of the defense. Without the defense exceeding their preseason expectations, we're winning 3-5 games looking at another top 10 pick.

It would probably be even better if our offense could sustain a drive.

Why is it done? A real NFL offense can score in under 60 seconds. An onside kick and a few quick hits to the sidelines and a long field goal to tie it. You never take a fuging knee when there's a chance to still compete.

If we were playing any other team with Bryce as their starting QB we'd be licking our chops and cheering their HC stupidity.

Spent 500 on floor seats for a concert and my wife couldn't see the entire time because she was staring into someone's back. I'll never pay for floor seats again unless it's front row.

I don't want it either. I thought it was a terrible signing this year. Just saying I won't be surprised at all if we option Bryce and extend Dalton so Bryce isn't threatened for his remaining time here.

Here's why it matters. Most NFL linemen range between 6'3 and 6'6. Using myself as reference, from the top of my head to shoulders is 11 inches. These guys have bigger shoulders than me and pads so adding back 4 isnt unrealistic. So their shoulder level would average 5'8 to 5'11. My eyes on the other hand are 4.5" from the top of my head. For Bryce, even at 5'10, that means his vision level is 5'5.5" but we can round up to 5'6". That's why those 2 inches matter. They're literally the difference between seeing over the shortest lineman or not at all. And when Bryce is standing next to Kyler Murray who is also 5'10", they don't look the same height. Bryce looks shorter. So when people like me bitch about physical limitations, he's staring 5 of them over 2 feet wide in the shoulders every play, and that doesnt even account for defensive linemen.
