Problems beget more problems.

The last QB Reich developed was... The last time Josh McCown was the starting QB for a team three seasons in a row was... We didn't hire coaches, we hired third rate consultants.

And then they hired Reich instead of Wilks...

We got suckered into trading CMC for a bag of beans and then got suckered into taking Sanders without wondering why the Eagles would just let their starting RB go without much fuss or bother... We are suckers. All day suckers.

Prayers for you and yours friend. That's a tough, tough row to hoe you've got, but man your family is lucky to have a strong, dedicated and loving person there to take care of them. Keep being strong and I hope some smoother spots are ahead for y'all. And thanks for giving all of us some perspective on what really is important in this world, and what is just a few hours of something that might be entertaining at most. Keep fighting the good fight. Edit to add: A vet can prescribe something to put in the dog's food that will keep him from eating his own poop. It basically makes it taste too bad for him to do it. Like that had to be a thing...

I've been saying this since he got here. And I've been told I was wrong again and again. Tell me I'm wrong again.

Burns disappears after the first half, and sometimes after the first quarter. He blows through all of his energy blasting into the back field early on and then just gets taken out of plays. I saw a TE just blocking him out a few times, unassisted. And he's no help in the run game whatsoever.\ Not that anyone we have is much good in the run game. Offense or defense.

This is sad but we were better off with Rivera than we were with both his successors combined. And that's not a high bar for Rivera to beat. I thought I'd never seen a poorer job of play calling or preparation before Rhule came here but Reich seems even worse. Every offensive play that worked today was off schedule and was Dalton having to improvise or go to the third or fourth receiver. And Fitterer traded away CMC for... basically a poorly done draft pick and the opportunity to pick up Sanders and his nifty 48 yards per game. This is a poorly coached, poorly built team. And the poor fanbase has to sit through this.

Denver steaks are the best kept secret around... or were...

Big pot of chili.. ahh, welcome to autumn!

Gosh, I hate hearing this from the fanbase. But there's just no passion on that field when we play, so I can understand it even beyond the 0-2 start. Still... we need some patience here. This is going to play itself out, one way or the other. Wilks sure has a good defense going out there in San Francisco, though. And CMC sure seems to be having a ball out there, too. Spilled milk, though. It goes well with souring grapes.

It's also a little early to crown someone as a defensive coaching genius two games into the season. Let it roll and see what comes up. We haven't seen what we've got here yet, just glimpses. And if Tepper wanted a defensive minded head coach, he'd have kept Steve Wilks. There's another factor there that just needs to be left unsaid.

Well, if he can get us to the Super Bowl in two seasons, then that'll be fine by me.

I saw the same thing in the stats. League wide it would seen.

Repeat after me... we can't judge the career quality of a rookie QB based on his first two games. Or seasons. Patience. Coaching, though...

I think that somehow in America, we've lost the ability to be around each other in public anymore. Add in alcohol and a competitive atmosphere, one often tinged with heavy doses of disappointment and frustration and you've got a recipe for conflict. It just ain't worth it.

Patience. And maybe being the understudy for a few games is what he needs.

There's no way to tell on Bryce right now. Absolutely no way to tell, in either direction. Right now he looks like a rookie QB thrown into the fire early on. He's had a few interesting moments and a ton of ouch plays. That's really perfectly normal. Me, I'm looking at the rest of the offense and thinking there's just not much there. Sanders is ineffectual and is being outplayed by Chuba Hubbard. Double H is well, meh as a TE. Our receiving corps can be speed clocked by a calendar. We have three decent pro-level offensive linemen and two back-up level guards that have little to no experience and it shows. And our play calling just seems, well, boring, bland and uninspired. On defense, we've got some very good players but we are losing a starter per game right now. We'll be deep into the back ups if this rate continues. Still, Evero seems to be getting the schemes right and that's something. Gosh, I hope it gets better, but I've been saying it for a couple of years now that Fitterer isn't the guy for us and he can't pick talent. I'm afraid that now that he isn't shackled to Rhule, he's going to prove me right and that there's just no excuse.

Sanders needs to be the second string RB. I think we're seeing why the Eagles let him go. There must not have been any tread left on the tires. Chuba should be starting right now while we look for someone else. Trading away CMC sure looks like yet another chump move we've made. He sure would be helping right now.

This is going to be a long, slow season.

Gosh, I hate that for him. I've always been a fan of his. I know they are going to miss his leadership out there. Here's hoping he can make a full recovery. I'd really like to see him be able to come back and see the team rise to better days again. He's put up with enough of the downslope over the years to deserve a shot at better days.

23-20 Panthers

Just give us something to believe in. A win would certainly do that!

I could use a bit of hope. Sadly, I just keep thinking this team has been in a downward spiral since it was sold. Yeah, Richardson was a creepy old dude, but he knew football. Now. Meh.
