Mmmmmmm....wurst with some red kraut.

That got us Cam Newton and over a decade of labor peace. I can see why you are so upset.

He came out in the Atlanta game with a huge chip on his shoulders and balled out for the first quarter. Burns has been barely a blimp on the radar since then.

He's retired???????? Crap, I thought we were about the same age.

Why we are treating Burns as an untouchable is beyond me. Patrick Mahommes is off limits for trade. That makes sense. Burns though? I simply don't get it.

Can I get a recap? Here's what I remember reading that was made public: Allegedly tapped girls on the tushy, one saying he bushed her side boob while holding open a door for her and the racist thing was saying a scout had a really wide nose--who happened to be black. That was the extent I can recall that was made public. Now, is that bad, sure. Bad enough to shame into selling a team? No. Could it have been worse? Sure, but I can't recall it and how the media loves sensationalism, I don't they held back any of the explicit details assuming there were more egregious acts.

The reason he dedicated his time and energy to bring a franchise here, right? Totally makes sense. Too many people put too much stock in the midfield logo thing. Ultimately the organization and League he loved stabbed him in the back.

Correct, not forced to sell, but the media onslaught with the embarrassment it brought to the team, League and his family, Jerry took the quick and less messy way out. He could have fought to keep the team considering the infractions were, on the grand scale of things, very minor, but he chose to make the situation go away as soon as possible. Remember, he set a self-imposed deadline for the sale to ensure a quick resolution for everyone involved. I also remember Tepper not having the highest bid, but that's who the League wanted.

Dude was 80+. Really? Jerry could barely stay awake in his box for 1pm games.

^^^^This. They knew Jerry love the League and if quietly asked to step away--notice I didn't say forced--they knew he'd likely go without a fight. Snyder, being the prick he is, was going to go down swinging no matter how much evidence of wrongdoing there was.

If you want some wins and build confidence with the rest of the team, then yes, it's fine to sit a rookie QB for some time. College teams bench under-performing starting QBs all the time. Somehow in the NFL it's more acceptable to keep banging your head against a brick wall just in the name of getting experience?

That's the hair that broke the camel's back? Richardson had a couple of supporters in Jones and Rooney, but it seems like he fell out of favor with the rest of the League's owners. I personally feel it was internal politics. Richardson was very old school with old money. Anyway, had this been Jerry JONES, no way he sells the Cowboys and they haven't done anything since the mid 90's. If it had to do with winning, Bidwell would have sold the Cardinals years ago with all the scandals they've had with a poo franchise and product.

Otherwise know as casual Friday in the rest of the corporate world.

Height of the MeToo movement. He was made out to be an example. Owners/players have since been caught doing WAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY worse things with little to zero consequences. Hell, Watson got to be the highest paid player in the League out of his sexual exploits. It's like he got rewarded!

I got it dude, you hate Frank and going winless is a necessary evil. Getting Bryce his "experience" is the best way to get what you want.

The shaded area in blue is all the defense has to worry about at this stage of his career (ball at the 20). Not my best artist work, but I'm no Bob Ross. Anyway, that's a LOT of the field the defense doesn't have to worry about.

Sure, because that's the issue. I mean, sticking with Bryce all season will be his ultimate downfall. So I get why 0-17 isn't so horrible for you.

He's struggling using the entire field right now for sure. I'm uncertain if it's just a rookie thing or if it's simply his limitations.

I ain't got to prove a thing on a message board. Bryce missed Adam on the sideline leading him too far to the boundary. Adam dove for the ball, but again the pass was too far out of bounds. Had the pass not been so far away, Thielen has his man beat.

Thielen. He missed him twice. Once WIDE open.

Because 0-17 isn't palatable to me. Bryce's baby steps (pun intended) isn't enough to win games at this rate. He's going to have to make some serious and significant strides to win a game this season. Couple that with our defense giving the resistance of wet paper, scoring 21 points or less a game is a guaranteed winless season.

Last 4 offensive plays: inaccurate pass, inaccurate pass, dropped pass and inaccurate pass. Clearly that's all on the dude calling the plays.

Top 5 huh?

And allowed TDs on nearly every possession after that. You clearly didn't get the irony.

Can we please start Dalton after the Bye week for a few games? Bryce is overwhelmed. Ease him back into it later on in the year, but this isn't being productive to him, the rest of the team or this fan base.
