Tepper is like, "What luck! I just found that in my coat pocket and forgot I had put it there last winter."

I remember a time when almost every return had a chance of fumble.

I thought we also ran some plays I haven't seen this season. Those little sweeps seemed to work well for the most part. Bryce took more snaps under center than I have noticed before.

I like those better.

It's amazing what happens when receivers catch footballs that hit them in theor hands. Chark made the catch ofnthe day. Theilen had a touchdown pass but dropped it.

Good run by Chuba. Now time for the Sanders 1 yd run.

Having Chase and Higgins helps a whole damn lot.

That first game. It's been a while but I think Rodney Peete started and it looked Dismal. Fox sent Jake in. I think he threw as many INTs as Touchdowns in that game, but it was enough to win. From then on it was on. But it was that touchdown throw to Smith in the Bucs game that really made me believe that year.

The problem is a lot of players didnt fit his system. Not just Bryce.

You can be the smartest guy in the world, but you can't play chess with checkers.

We need a solid WR. I doubt we pick one up in FA so best available in the draft. If one does come available in FA, get that one too.

Your Newbie name is right. There were a lot of people that didn't want Reich. He was fired during the season of his last head coaching job too.

His footwork isn't as jittery. Still the same team around him. Still the same plays called. If anything cues you in, it's Dalton asking for different plays in the Seattle game. Bryce is just doing what Reich had called on him to do. The very fact that they chose not to address his footwork until after the season and make sure he knew the playbook first shows how bad the coaching staff has handled him. He is in his own head right now and has no faith in the team around him except maybe Theilen. Bryce can and will be a good NFL QB, but this was not the team or the year to provide that foundation.

This is it. Go look back at the Atlanta game. He was a different QB. But I think a lot of it is coaching. The play calling and plays have sucked. There are other inconsistencies in the team's play that indicate we didn't have the best cohesion of coaches. He's getting pressured consistently and we're sending everyone out on routes. I think they forced too much on him too soon thinking they were QB whispers that were going to have him out playing like a pro from the first snap. Right now, he's in flight mode, waiting for the pocket to collapse, afraid to make a bad decision.

It has nothing to do with seeing over the line. He isn't setting his feet when he throws because he doesn't trust the protection. You can see a difference in the early games and now

It isnt as bad as it looks. We are asking people to do stuff they aren't good at and leaning on a rookie QB to be able make it not look like a poo plan.

The reason this team is bad is because of the coaching. We are undisciplined and the plays are horrible.

At least we moved away from "he's too little he's going to be injured in the first game."

Bad teams find ways to lose.

This game is on special teams. Withoutthe punt and the mussed field goal, we are 9-7.

Imagine that. Runbing it with 1 yard to go instead of asking Young to pass it 2x.

Damn Derrick Brown. He gave the rag doll treatment to Kamara

I still watch. When I first moved to North Carolina, on Sundays you'd turn on the tv and be forced to watch the national game or the redskins or dolphins. Then we got a team and I have seen almost every single game. My ego isn't caught up in how the team does so I don't care if they win or lose, they are my team.

That's a great punchline.

Because they want to find some blame for all the losing. Right now it's the one thing that can't be disproved. People were wanting Rhule and Reich fired. Then wehn he does, he's a meddling owner.
