As much as I hate to say it, Bryce to KC this offseason could make sense. Reid could be one of the only minds to be able to do something there. Bryce plays on his final year while Mahomes recovers. Not the ending we hoped for but one I'd take.

Not at 50m AAV

I'm firing DC, though I think it actually makes the job less attractive. He's not prepared to be a HC and it's showed. A new HC is not going to be tied automatically to BY. He's going to want to bring in some level of competition in the QB room because anyone who has ever watched football knows our QB room is lacking. If he doesn't, that tells a more interesting tale of who's really calling the shots. Dave hasn't been decisive enough in game and that leadership council BS has trust fall vibes. Our offense has been pathetically stale and vanilla. Our run game while good has made no sense based on who has been playing best. Our defense is improved but they can't be expected to hold opposing teams to below 17 a game because our offense can't score consistently. We've beaten some teams we shouldn't have beaten, specifically GB and the Rams, and I think our record doesn’t accurately reflect where the team and the coaching really is. We've fallen flat against a geriatric rookie QB leading a 2-10 NO team and got our ass handed to us TWICE. We're unprepared for the biggest games. This is what happens though when real coaching candidates turn down interviews because your owner is a narcissistic butthole. You get someone no one else bothered to call and you get the results everyone else would have expected if they had.

Not saying Icky did his job yesterday, but do you know how much easier it is to rush if you don't have to worry about a QB stepping up into the pocket frequently? You can attack because there's only about a 20-30 degree windows of where the QB is going to end up instead of 90. You don't have to worry about adjusting so much, you can just go. Easier to run a straight line when there's little need to worry about changing direction. Icky's weakness coming out of college was pass pro. Young played like the DROY yesterday and Icky got handled. Your OC has to adjust to that. Your QB needs to adjust to that. We didn’t. See results.

So not OOU

Made me think of superman 3 with Richard Pryor. That movie was so bad. The only thing that could have saved it was Richard Pryor being stand up Richard Pryor.

Tackles are supposed to direct their losing ground. You can't hold back a rusher forever. The QB has to be able to step up into the pocket to give room to work. You can only drop so far before you back into your QB or another lineman or rusher.

Me too but it's not going to happen

Not even talking about Bryce. His in game recognition and adjustments are staggeringly slow. He's not seeing the whole picture because he's focused too much on calling plays. He needs to concentrate on being a HC. He's not good enough to do both.

Go watch the final of last years 4 nations tournament. Probably the greatest game i have ever watched from start to finish across all sports.

Not being able to run a QB sneak is a problem and a major issue. Certain plays have to be in the play book. An NFL offense can't survive without them.

2-0 vs Carolina. The only record that matters right now.

Water is wet

Canales is a huge fuging problem and he cannot be OC and HC. He needs to be forced to let someone else play call next year.

Canales did what Canales does. He sucked. The only thing he's learned is absolutely nothing.

Sharknado has a whole damn series.

And this is why having a quality QB2 matters. Minshew isn't great but he isn't the ghost of the ghost of Andy Dalton.

How many opportunities has Bryce had vs Maye. Context matters.

Do you consider a season successful if you win the division with a losing record? The record reflects you didn't do well yet somehow lucked into the playoffs. We're winning right now, but part of the reason we're talking playoffs is our division is really bad. Personally, I judge the braintrust by growth. Have we seen improvement this year? Yes. I'll judge this braintrust as improved when I see 4 more in a row, rational decision making regarding our QB room, and multiple back to back winning seasons. If we judge by single season effectiveness alone, Nippleshorts was the greatest GM we ever had.

At least they took him at 20 instead of packaging a huge deal to move up. Makes it sting a little less i guess. Of course they could have had Brock Purdy 7 rounds later...

Philly cheese steak potato boats. London Broil been in the marinade for 3 days. Gonna be some good stuff.

It'll be interesting to see how they put resources into the defense and how the offense suffers. We've dumped nearly everything there the past 3 years which obviously isn't sustainable. We've skipped over gems on the line in the draft to draft raw prospects and those huge salaries are looming large. Feels like we need at least 2 more drafts, maybe 3 to get the rhythm back.

Hope Canales can adjust quickly in game. Hasn't been one of his strong points all season. And for fugs sake, feed the hot hand.

I was struggling listening to the commentary about how it was one of the greatest throwback uniforms ever and there were some that were just plain ugly. I kept thinking to myself, damn, I wish I had selective color blindness.

Yeah. Tepper seemed to have sucked all hope out of Charlotte the second his plane landed after buying the team.
