CRA

We have seen it though and how Bryce deals with it. It’s most of his starts. Even in wins like Atl and the Jets….bottom tier pass game virtually every week but yeah, Rico is the best RB. We should basically be the Wilks Panthers even when down (which got us back into the Miami game). We got back into that game by not asking Bryce to

Basically. Rico for 2 weeks did unimaginable. It’s not really a winning gameplan to think he can go for 200+ and lift all boats. we don’t have a mid passing game and we don’t have a mid D. Only so much a run game can do. We are still a bottom 3rd team. schedule about to get real

I’m largely talking QB room. But yeah, Dave and Morgan too. Fitteter’s right hand man needed to go with him. The pass he got is crazy. He brought us this QB room.

Dalton went out there and essentially….pulled a Bryce. Was Dalton really any different than Bryce vs the Jags, Cards, Pats, Falcons, Jets, etc? Only real differenceis the Bills are a really good team overall and when Dalton played like ass….they slammed the door on us. They didn’t let us creep back in down 3 scores early like Bryce has done. Or the Bills O wasn’t in a contest to try to out bad us. we need a complete rehaul. No one employed here should return

I think there will be another Atlanta type game. I think each season, you can count on about 2 random games where teams just really gift you a game.

nothing has changed for me. 6ish wins and we are right on schedule. Getting those wins exactly where they were always predicted to be. yesterday was the start of the tough part of the schedule. More beatdowns are on the table.

even if you exclude the final drive of the first half (because it was going to be pass heavy given the time), most of his passing was on 1st and 2nd down. 8 vs 5. And one of those 5 was a 3rd and short. Just a horrible called game.

Most people on this site get that Rico not getting the ball at all on 2 of the first 3 series is a CHOICE. And a bad one. Which outs the gameplan (lack there of being a good one) going into the game of not wanting to take advantage of a bad rush D with your best player. and if you go back and watch some of those Rico goes wild games. We opted to run.....when in theory you shouldn't of if you had a good QB. Which is what we should of opted to do vs a horrific run D with Dalton at QB. Pretty sure if Rico Dowdle was the primary RB.....that entire game changes. Bills couldn't stop him. He just barely touched the ball in the first half. Coaching choic. We probably lose but we probably are competitive late. I mean, its actually WILD to suggest giving Rico the ball heavy of and often early vs that bad run defense doesn't change much.

31st rushing D and 8 carries by Rico is coaching. Rico is easily the best offensive weapon right now and it’s not really close. *literally everyone knows Dalton is washed, horrible and shouldn’t even be a backup QB. Drive 1? ZERO carries. Coaching. Drive 2 - Rico was playing great. Did Canales lean into that or go for “balance”? Coaching. Drive 3 - ZERO carries. Coaching Drive 4 - 1 carry and opted for Jimmy Horn gadget rush (you can’t stick with the Horn repetitive gadget runs each week and that’s not a better idea than getting Rico going) Drive 5 - basically Dalton heavy as the half expired. I don’t need to watch a game to know it’s coaching. The gameplan wasn’t about setting Rico up to go off on a trash rush D. It was bullshit harmony balance of the rush and the pass and making Hubbard feel good.

The other week after the Rico games there was a movement by a small crowd to say Evero maybe doesn’t suck and Canales is a great playcaller (because Luke Kuechky did some light PR praise)

See my original post where I commented on the 31st rush D and Rico having 8 carries. we knew going in the Bills basically can do one and only one thing. Pressure the QB. Sure seems like a gameplan that went away from our biggest strength and right into what the Bills can do. All you need to see is the box score to know we never had a chance thanks to Dave Canales while facing the best team to date (where coaching is going to be at a premium)

We knew he was completely washed last season. Folks calling Morgan a good GM need to reconsider such silliness. It’s the most important spot in football.

I see we played the 31st rush D and Rico had 8 carries…..which tells me so much. Hope all the folks who randomly were calling Canales a good playcaller/HC the other week reconsider such.

Painful part about Bryce is he is sort of risk adverse and still implodes games. It’s easier to swallow with a PJ Walker Dalton can probably muster up 1-2 games. He is his too old and washed to have out there long

Yeah, I’m not even hating. But playing in the SEC, with a meh OL and meh weapons (I mean Harbor is more fast than good)….and Mike Shula calling the O is not the recipe to develop like he needs. Plus I don’t think a hot seat Beamer can fix it in the portal all in one year

I like him. He just needs to develop more and he needs to stay in college a year. he also needs to get out of SC and go to a stacked team (with a good OC) where developing is easier when not forced into a hero ball role.

Now that Clemson is total asscheeks….that GT/UGA game is one I got circled to watch. It can’t top last years but I’ll be pulling for Tech from here on out

My bad lol, I did. Thought you were inventing a hypothetical team into the mix. LG addressed that FSU team. Injury kept them out. Injury to King would be massively more impactful than a loss for the committee. Commiteee would drop them massively if King went down in the ACC title game

But again, GT would be sitting as a top 3 team if they went into the ACC title game undefeated….and then lost. There would zero way the committee could knock them far with their only L being a title loss, with the UGA win with a healthy QB. Committee already has been clear they don’t want the conference titles to negatively impact teams (because that hurts the SEC absent BIG10 teams) I’m also ONLY arguing for GT and their setup. Not some hypothetical ACC team in another season.

FSU can‘t be 13-0 if GT are the 12-1 ACC champs. They also are auto in as the ACC champs. but let’s say they lose in the ACC title game to get to 12-1…..they are still 100% are in the CFP. Pending King is healthy. They would be an undefeated top 3 team going into the conference championship knocking down UGA and the committee doesn’t hammer you for the conference championship L

12-1 makes them a top 5 team going into the playoffs IMO. Where you putting a 12-1 ACC champ? How could you put that outside the top 10 I mean, that’s the resume that got you into the 4 team playoff. Not sure how a loss to UGA would send them out of the top 10

I think GT will be 12-1 going into the playoffs. That will be a top 5 team. They already are a top 10 team. King is the best football player. Mendoza the best QB

Bryce has played a big role often in our losses. He can lose a game in the first quarter.

Nah, he wasn’t playing. And that’s answered by Cam after the incident as he walked off trying to reign it all back in

Totally agree. In real life. But, I would think context here has to matter. They decided to do a silly bit for TV with mascots. Which means it’s not real life. So mascot, tv, silly, light hearted entertainment rules are in play. And a mascot doing something like putting someone’s hat on their head isn’t outlandish. in the end, Cam handled that horrifically. And I’m as pro Cam as anyone.
