Saw something the other day about Mafe from the Seahawks may be available.

Also, wtf we sign Mike White for? It clearly wasn’t advanced scouting lol.

fug it. See what this Samac guy has got, bc Corbett is poo.

I agree on all counts, and my criticisms aren’t directed towards Morgan. I think he is doing great where he’s allowed to. QB should’ve absolutely been addressed with a contingency plan to the the contingency plan.

So he’s the Jonathan Mingo of backup QBs now at this point in his career. Bryce roster building hasn’t been a very fruitful undertaking.

I’ll edit it to reflect that. I just saw him sit down and watched for a moment because it appeared he sat by himself, and once the camera angle showed both of them there, there was zero interaction or conversation from what it looked like. Truth be told, I was at the fair enduring almost as bad of day as our team.. I finally sat down and watched it, but was still having to keep an eye out. By the way, middle-aged-man rant here - the fair is a fuging scam. $90 for 3 adult tickets, a sandwich, and two drinks before I even got to the fuging midway. All of everyday life is unfugingaffordable for everyday people as it is, the fair should be fun. The vast majority of people attending are inconsiderate douches. Prices should be reasonable. I was thoroughly disappointed and pissed.

The Bills are a well coached team. I give them that. They are a well run organization. That’s no excuse. The point of this thread is to point out that yesterday illustrated something much more troubling than losing to a good team. My takeaways: * We still haven’t found a coach. Canales isn’t it. He is in way over his head. Everyone knows how I feel about Bryce, but seeing Dalton yesterday, a lot of the issues Bryce deals with every week are now clearly thematic. I thought to myself yesterday, “but Ron Rivera looked like he was drowning until that Buffalo game,” and now in hindsight, he ultimately became possibly our greatest coach in franchise history. But before that Buffalo game with his seat as hot as ever, he did some of the dumbest things I had ever seen. He refused to adjust. He played guys that shouldn’t have been out on the field over guys who seemed like clearly better players. For example, Josh Norman sat for how many seasons, mostly because of non-quantifiable stuff. Canales suffers the same issues early in his tenure, it without any of the reassurances or pedigree that Ron had. Our offense stinks because of Dave, point blank, period. We can only guess about play calls and scheme because we don’t know all the ins and outs of that, but what is clear is that he has no idea how to put our guys in positions to succeed. Look at the number of players who have absolutely killed it that Dave tried his best to keep off the field - Rico, Mays, Christensen, Horn, etc. Now look at the guys he played over them. Ron only had a couple of those instances over several seasons albeit bad ones *cough* Nakamura *cough* Josh Norman *cough*. But, Dave is multiplying that by the umpteenth power in one season. And not only is it about the guys he is or isn’t playing, he doesn’t know how to use them. All of the TEs. The aforementioned Horn Jr. XL. Trying to make Corbett a center. Both Rico and Chuba are healthy, but he can’t figure out how to use them together. There is zero rhythm to the offense most games after that opening drive, and a lot of it is Dave playing guys that shouldn’t be playing and not knowing how to implement the ones that are that could help us the most. I had held onto hope because Dave’s positivity and his track record with QBs. But, the more I’ve watched, it has become clear, even in coaching extremely limited QBs, there are so many other issues that falls on coaching that he is responsible for. He is not a good coach. ***EDIT*** It was brought to my attention that Rico dapped up Chuba when he got to the sideline, so apparently it’s not all bad*** Speaking of Rico and Chuba, don’t know if anyone else caught that, but after scoring his garbage time TD that was force fed to him, when Chuba went over to the bench, he sat down seemingly alone. Then the camera zoomed out and actually Rico was on the other side of that portion of the bench. Another guy, I’m guessing a practice squad guy came and sat down closer to Chuba but between them, and from what I saw, Rico looked straight ahead. They never looked at one another, didn’t appear to speak to one another, nothing. Someone else correct me if I’m wrong, as I was heavily distracted, but if they interacted it would’ve been just a millisecond that I wasn’t looking… the body language looked absolutely discouraging. *Back to Canales… which is a further indictment that this isn’t just schematic or playcalling. Another reason he is clearly not a good coach - when we lose this season we LOSE. We lose big. We lose ugly. We lose unprepared. We lose undisciplined. We lose in every fundamental way. You don’t go from stifling the #1 offense in the NFL two weeks ago, to getting blown out at home 40-3 (Chuba’s late TD is irrelevant). In every facet of the game that we have shown improvement, we go out in losses like yesterday’s and make you question if it was fool’s gold. That’s poor coaching. It’s discouraging because the drop off isn’t incremental, these are huge wild swings. From a top 10 defense who excels at stopping the run, to giving up the highest individual rushing day in the NFL this season. From a functional offense, scoring around 20 points a game to 3 when it counted. We are -5 turnovers on the season. Outside of the obvious Rico Dowdle - Bryce Young, Jimmy Horn, and Travis Etienne are all statistically better rushers right now than Chuba, and yet, we are forcing Chuba touches. Rico only started two weeks and is still our top rusher for the season. That forcing Chuba the ball poo might’ve worked when we had no other options, but it literally is destroying the offense now and yet, he keeps doing it. This insistence of square peg, round hole football is all coaching, and it is absolutely demoralizing. We show zero consistency with any and everything, and that falls directly at the coach’s feet. Seeing all of this following the few weeks where it appeared the team was picking up some semblance of identity and momentum, and then to lose in such a fashion to where those staples we had begun to believe in were proven to be mirages is beyond discouraging. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t expect to beat the Bills. I did expect to be competitive and still excel at the things we appeared to be making our calling cards. From the best rushing team for two straight weeks to pedestrian. From stopping the run and playing smash mouth football to getting blown out at him with opposing players averaging 12 yards per carry and receivers running wide butt naked open. There is no consistency or leadership on this staff. Period. Yesterday’s loss brings us right back to the sobering reality that we still don’t have a head coach and all the problems rife within the Tepper Era.

Not simping, just saying… people also thought Daniel Jones was washed before he went there because of how bad he looked with his previous team - I didn’t. Sometimes if they have the ability, a change of scenery is what is needed, but tbh, after watching us yesterday, I think our problems are much bigger than who is starting at QB.

Good. fug Brian Kelly. Fake ass bitch.

I mean special in terms of some of the physical feats. Everyone knew he needed refinement when he was drafted and he struggled with accuracy. But if you can harness that physical ability? He is capable of things physically that 99% of the population, including other QBs, could only have wet dreams about.

I feel bad for Chuba and bad for thinking it, but i’ve started to wonder if maybe he was as good as he appeared to be because we had no other good options. You know? Slow-and-steady-wins-the-race-type-thing? Because the poo we’ve seen the last two weeks is horrible. I saw someone tweet earlier that the current alternating series strategy limits both from their strengths - Rico’s fast, explosive hard runs, and Chuba’s ability to churn until he gains momentum. I just don’t fuging understand what Canales is doing.

I still think AR got a raw deal. He did some things as a rookie that were SPECIAL. He has the tools. I think he had to mature a bit, but he gets trashed and I feel like he doesn’t deserve a lot of it. I would love to pick him up and see what we can do, because he showed some promise already at times and you can’t teach the physical skills he has. That would be fun to watch. and yes, Daniel Jones, Jameis, Russ, Shadeur, etc., all made a ton of sense to bring as competition and at best they’d start, at worst they backup and be one of the best backups in the league. And yet, we decided, simply - “fug it.”

Mike White or Hooker, whoever is active, needs to be the one walking out in that field next drive. Dalton never needs to step foot on an NFL field again.

Cook is averaging 11 fuging yards a carry. canales is a confirmed fuging idiot as well. In a game where you have Andy Dalton, who is clearly complete ass, you should be eating clock and limiting buffalo possessions. How do you do that? Rico. What does he do? Continue to throw and play Chuba. fuging idiot.

Also Corbett is quite possibly the worst player on this entire team. And that’s saying something.

How did this staff and FO watch a whole offseason of Bryce and Andy and decide to stand pat??? Dalton should’ve been escorted to retirement swiftly.

I’m not worried about their offense. I fully believe our defense is legit. I haven’t researched it, but from watching them, it seems like their defense is not too hot this year… whether our offense can score or not will determine if we can win or not. I think Bryce being out increases our chances of scoring.

Also, hard to believe Atlanta has won 3 games. If they want to win, Penix has to sit. But I’m thrilled if they want to keep playing him.

Darnell Mooney is over this poo

It’s crazy, again, bc I didn’t expect him to be a world beater, but I thought Penix would be solid. He had the tools. He was accurate in college. He has a relatively strong arm. But, it’s like everything is a tick behind for him.

Penix is getting his ass whooped

The quality of the targets and catches matter. Just look at that final catch to seal the game. That throw is there every Sunday, but tell me the last time you saw Bryce do a 3 step drop and chuck it on a streak down the sideline? He doesn’t and he won’t. That’s one of XL’s strengths. He’s big and fast enough to beat his man off the line more often than not, or just to get in the gap between the corner and safety in zone and stress the defense. Bryce just isn’t looking for that throw because he’s uncomfortable attempting it. That’s automatically cuts down quality attempts and touches for the offense. To his credit, Andy trusted XL and attempted it, but even he under threw it and XL had to make a great adjustment and come back and get it. If our QB could hit XL on those streaks and drags/crossers/slants with some fuging conviction and anticipation, rather than XL having to slow down and reach behind him or fall down to get it, I promise you, he would look like everything you’d hope he would be.

I would be stoked with either one of them.

Fiz mentioned in the game thread, that looked more like a broken bone type deal, and he’s in the medical field. I would tend to agree, as a grizzled veteran of ankle sprains, I would be surprised if that’s what it is. Didn’t appear that he rolled it at all.
