Bad throw by Bryce. And WTH was that play design???? Trying to be too creative cost us points.

Yeah WTH? Gonna be one on those games with refs making ridiculously questionable calls.

Both OL haven’t played that as well as they should. Credit to the defenses though.

I’m with you on OL. If we remain in the top 5 certainly any blue chip prospect including OT. I’m just not sold on Icky’s ability to protect Young’s blindside consistently. First prefer would be help along DL or Edge, but if OT is BPA we should definitely be given serious consideration .

Kinda meh on this one. Though I have to admit I can’t think of a better alternative.

I’d think long and hard before extending Ickey. I think we can upgrade the LT position at some point.

I’m thinking we split with the Bucs, beat the Cowboys and pull out close ones over either the Cardinals or Falcons. For FA we should do everything we can to get Azeez Ojulari to bolster our pass rush.

Could’ve gotten it too if not for some untimely drops. Gotta catch those, XL and Tremble!

Agreed except I’m not giving up on Tremble just yet. He’s a young player and has made enough plays IMO to see what he can do in this offense next season. Thomas has stolen enough money from us; he can kick rocks.

Some of us may forget when Drew Brees “wasn’t” the great QB we faced in New Orleans. Prior to his HOF career, he was an afterthought in Dan Diego that was particularly liked by his coach Marty Schottenheimer. But we all see how that turned out. Bryce may never be the 2nd coming of Brees but let’s give him and the staff time to help him reach his potential.

Here’s another that we fans should keep in mind: Sometimes greatness takes time. Mahomes had the benefit of sitting a season behind Alex Smith after the Chiefs traded up to take him with the 10th pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. Young, last year’s top pick, started 16 games as a rookie, going 2-14, absorbing 62 sacks and posting the league’s worst passer rating.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5945028/2024/11/24/panthers-loss-bryce-young-chiefs/?source=user_shared_article This quote from the article in The Athletic caught my attention: The quarterback on the other sideline was equally impressed. “I thought he played his tail off, man. He throws a really good ball,” Patrick Mahomes said. “I think Texas Tech was the first one to offer him when he was in eighth grade. I was at Texas Tech, so I remember watching his highlight tapes then and knew he was going to be a great player.”

We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

We saw “Bama” Bryce today. Kid is growing up right before our eyes. Hope he keeps proving the haters wrong.

And as I type this, we pick up our 4th sack of the day.

We don’t need T-Mac. We need the best talent we can get along the DL. Our pass rush is practically non-existent.

That’s his 2nd penalty today, When will he get those out of his system?

On the bright side, we’re doing better than expected considering the opponent and our soft defense.

Remind me again how Ickey has improved this year???

Yeah where the hell was the help? No way Hopkins should be that wide open.

They just updated it to neck injury. Praying its not a fracture.

Count me among those in favor of replacing Evero as DC. This D is beyond soft and the tackling is atrocious. That’s on coaching.

Melo dropped a 50 burger tonight. Had a career night.

Apparently he asked to be released and they granted his request. Maybe he just wants a break b4 deciding the next chapter of his NFL career, if there’ll be one.
