Mr. Scot

That was technically a trade

Those helmets should be sponsored by Funko

I haven't seen that many people fooled since The Sixth Sense.

I hate... hate... hate the "bend don't break" approach to defense. The better name for it is the "living dangerously" defense.

Pretty sure I've seen us do at least one "wildcat" style play this season.

Near pick as that "window" throw went between two Panthers

There's a guy on here who gives it a lot of effort

Defense: "If the offense won't capitalize on turnovers, we'll just do it ourselves."

Who is it on here that's always disparaging Derrick Brown?

McVay has some of the best play designs in the league, arguably as good as Andy Reid.

That's the most polite looking defensive pursuit I've seen in a while

I'm not convinced he's durable enough to be a solo feature back. The two of them work well as a Williams - Stewart "double trouble" type combo.

Coker looked upset

Dowdle has suffered a lot of wear and tear from being featured. That's why I've recommended using the two of them on a rotational basis. That drive (and the last play in particular) testifies in favor.

My sole point of disagreement... "We" didn't cut Newton. Matt Rhule did. Projecting that onto a fanbase that ultimately despised Matt Rhule is silly.

I'd quote the late John McKay. "We're just three or four plane crashes away from the playoffs."

...and a David Tepper problem. Sadly, the former is probably a much easier fix than the latter.

Steichen was one of two or three young up and coming coaches whose interviews here were quickly dismissed.

He's getting a fair amount of praise. But more to the point, he's not working for David Tepper. I'd imagine that feels a whole lot like rolling away the stone and escaping the tomb

Not only Bryce... The "all star" coaching staff approach was pushed on Reich because Tepper saw the initial success Brian Daboll was having. That's how we ended up with Thomas Brown (among others) rather than the staff Reich would hav chosen himself. When it comes to football, Tepper is one of those guys who sees someone else having success and says "hey, let's copy that" rather than getting people who have their own ideas. So, not just unoriginal, but also stupid As to Bryce, Fitterer admitted he'd locked in on Bryce the year before and wasn't budging. Pretty much everyone believes Reich wanted Stroud, but why would you expect him to get his choice of quarterback when he didn't even get his choice of assistant coaches? Add in that besides Tepper's Monday meetings and his using assistants as basically corporate spies, Fitterer lthrew Reich under the bus when Bryce wasn't an overnight sensation. Basically, Reich never had a shot. Now Fitterer is gone, the all star staff is mostly gone, the Giants are a sh-t show and Reich is experiencing a career resurrection at Stanford. And us? Well, we're still here hoping for a miracle

No on Lance or Pickett... Not sure Levis fits what Canales does... Not all that impressed by the draft class... Right now I'm thinking a free agent like Sam Howell or Mac Jones as a stopgap.

Yeah, the announcers mentioned it.

I get the why. It was just...

I read Tom Pelissero's annual article about rising head coaches and personnel people for this year. Didn't find it especially inspiring
