Gentlemen, things are rough. I owner is throwing drinks at opposing fans, our GM has drafted busts 3 out of 3 years in the first, second, third, and 4th rounds. Our coaches can't coach, and our players are stuck in regression. 

Tip of the hat to the faithful, because when we come out of this, if we come out of this, it will be you all who kept the Fandom together.

Until then, we March together in embarrassment, in frustration, in despair towards a disappointing end.

Glad to have you all along for the bumpy ride.

Bumpy ride? Bumpy assumes ups and downs. I feel like this is straight free fall mode we unlocked with Tepper’s purchase. 

The Tepper speed run to the worst franchise in the league was completed today. 

They still have their star defensive players on the field in this bloodbath. 

How have we not lit that backup QB more? He’s diving at knees, setting blocks, and bulldozing our LBs. Got punked by him all game.

What’s the story with Horn?  He hurt or quitting?

Yes

Our D just looks completely worn down. Long season and no gas left.

Luvu proved his worth and leadership in two years. Brian Burns proved to play hard only when he felt like it would help him get the home team to overpay. Now that he didn’t get the money… he just takes up a spot on the line. 

Brian Burns absolutely dominates. /s

I think he only had to pay Rhule like $5million because of the Nebraska contract offsetting a majority of the money. And the main reason he was owed anything was the escalating contract for Nebraska the the first couple years was less than what he would have made as the Panther's coach.

I thought Nebraska purposefully structured it so that Tepper would have to still pay a good bit of the early money.

Tepper will be paying 3 head coaches for another two years, right? lol

It's a horribly run franchise. We know this... look at the product on the field and how many fans are essentially checked out.

Any vet free agent signings coming in the next few years will only be doing so for money. It won't be to join a competitor that's for sure. Those players will be the quickest to check out and sit on IR.

Brown is a freaking monster out there. Just looks the part of a bonified interior lineman with elite strength/size to go with the drive to win.

Wouldn’t an elite edge player have walked that pass in for a TD?

I'm sure 70% of the roster would be in favor of forfeiting the rest of the season. I don't even know why Burns is active on gameday.

No one on this team deserves another contract.  Not 1 single player

That's just hyperbole... we have two. Lol.

Working for Tepper is like completing a 401k in 1-2 years time. Best benefits package in the world.

You don't like bryce? Couldn't tell from your 8 billion posts bashing him and anyone who isn't ready to write him off since that is the worst possible outcome for this franchise. 

And now he's declared Stroud a future HOFer...

Because of sunken cost, if you let Burns walk after we buffing trades for him that’s the kind of actions that gets people fired

The whole principle of sunken cost is to not let the prior decisions impact a future decision. You got that backwards.

While I agree, you still gonna have to pay Burns and the market dictates that he’s probably worth around 25 to 30 mil

And at this point you can’t let him walk

Why can't we let him walk? Preferably tag and trade, but we are not tied to him.

Easily the worst spot the franchise has ever been.

This roster is so devoid of talent. Our drafts are our only hope of crawling out of the basement of the league in the next five years. Fitterer's drafts make Dave and Marty look like historical greats.

I'd 100% agree that Fitterer is more responsible for the awful product currently on the field AND our dismal future outlook. This team wasn't primarily a Reich problem so I'm surprised he's Tepper's first scapegoat.

I'd have more sympathy for Reich if he didn't trot out the SAME EXACT THING every single week. Like fug man, switch up the O-Line. switch up the scheme. Go power running with Bryce under center. SOMETHING.

 

The reason we can't move the ball is becuase the opposing defense knows whats coming

O-Line switches weekly and within each game because the whole team continues to get injured. We can bring in random nobodies without experience with the rest of the line/scheme and it's not going to get better. We're just screwed at this point.

Too bad we can’t just line up a snapper and four more receivers. Offensive line is pointless for us in pass plays.
