Brother, I think it is intentionally obtuse to think this offense isn’t inherently limited in scheme because of Bryce’s limitations. The All 22 isn’t going to show us what plays are off the table before the game even begins, and that’s the problem. To think a team is going to win like this every week in the year of our Lord 2025, is asinine. Look at a team like Philly. They are physical, run heavy, and also control the clock via the LOS and run game, but Hurts is a weapon defenses have to respect. He is capable of consistently making plays on his own and utilizing his supporting cast to the fullest. Bryce is incapable of that. If a team stops our run game, we are losing 9 out of 10 times. To pretend that win is a credit to Bryce is disingenuous. It just further cements that we have to win ugly with Bryce because we can’t win pretty with Bryce. And we can say Tet should’ve had a TD on that deep throw because it hit his hands, but name any of the Top 15 QBs or so in the league, maybe even Top 20, and they throw that same pass, Tet is catching it. We have to dissect ball placement, the definition of a drop vs a bad pass, “hidden yards,” and whose fault was a drop way more than any other time in our history as a franchise, and it’s not coincidence. Prime Cam out there today? Hell, Cam post-2017 out there today… he would’ve gave us an additional 17 points minimum. Saying we didn’t have to pass is also facetious… plenty of teams pass in these type of games. We don’t pass because our coaches want to limit his mistakes, because he is so prone to make them. If he was an efficient passer, it would be used as a weapon and another prong in our attack. Instead, it is obvious through play calls and approach, they don’t trust Bryce and that requires your defense, run game, and special teams to be damn near flawless. Also, imagine being a guy like Renfrow or Tet. We weren’t up 30+ points all game. It was still 10-0 at halftime. There were plenty of passes to be made, and we didn’t want to chance it. A mark of a franchise QB is that they make everyone around them better. They elevate the play around them. Is Tet’s play elevated? Look at what he does with the ball in his hands. Problem is, we have trouble getting the ball in his hands. Same for Renfrow. I’ve maintained Tremble is a playmaker. We can’t get the ball in his hands. Same for JT. XL’s struggles are in large part due to limitations in the scheme. Can’t take the top off a defense if you don’t have opportunities to do so. It’s like buying two or three Ferraris and then stripping the top 6 gears out of them. It all comes down to we don’t win because of Bryce, we win in spite of Bryce. JStew literally just got on the postgame show and said something along the lines of we didn’t win with/because of Bryce. Then the other guy gets on and starts trying to hype the game manager angle for Bryce. This guy is a #1 overall pick. The defenses of his limitations are tiresome and old. Even in a win, it is packed full of reminders of how perfect everyone has to play to win with him at QB. Again, I ask, if the defense is having a bad day or the running game is shut down early, then what? We’ve seen what happens… and so yes, I enjoy the win, but nothing has changed. Bryce hasn’t done anything to disprove the idea that if we have to trust him to win, we will lose. This game was an aberration, not the norm. So again, what happens next week? And the week after?

Ransom just forced the fumble. PLAY THAT KID!!!

Icege, I respect you, brother. But if you feel like Bryce isn’t a limiting factor when we have had 30+ mins of possession and he has <150 pass yards, all of our passing offense still greatly relies on dumping it down and hoping guys break tackles, the offensive stats overall have not been impressive and the points we scored have relied greatly on Falcon turnovers leading to incredible field position or outright points, then I don’t know what to say. a win is a win. It’s satisfying to win. Bryce is hard to watch and almost impossible to enjoy. If we had a QB who was capable of accurate deep passes, they would have blown the lid off this game early. It’s been there. But the offense is reduced down to clock control, dink and dunk bullshit, and a philosophy that would make Vince Lombardi cream his pants.

NGL, feels good as hell to punk their defense with the power runs. I fuging hate the Falcons. Every time we do it, it feels like justice for that dirty hit Kazee took on Cam years back.

Love me some Chuba.

I’m not mad about winning. I’m ecstatic we are. I don’t like this is how we HAVE to win because of Bryce. With a proper NFL QB with requisite physical skills, we likely have 40+ points already.

I like what our young guys on defense are doing, but to believe they’re capable of this every week? That’s a tall fuging order. Don’t get me wrong, I love winning, but it’s why I want a Bryce replacement plan asap, because this isn’t sustainable and offensively is hard to watch.

It’s how we have to play with Bryce at QB. if you like 1950s offenses, I imagine you’re really stoked about this.

Awww, look at Brycey poo.

I’ve never been more disappointed in a TD drive

Prepare for disappointment.

Every team has drops every week. Bryce is bad.

4th qtr, 20 passes, 106 yards. 5.3 avg.

Not sure why MJ didn’t just make one cut and keep going?

We finally get to feel what other teams feel like playing us.

That was an egregious hold inside.

Yeah, this poo is so hard to watch. He is the singular reason drives die.

Almost 3 full quarters in, 19 pass attempts, 99 yards.

He has to wait to super process everything, and then dump it down to Chuba 5 yards behind the LOS once he’s done.

Imagine if we had a real NFL QB in there today. They’d be feasting. bryce makes offense so hard to watch.

Why would Bryce not snap it and attempt to throw a TD when Walker jumped?

That may be the most impressive, risqué throw I’ve seen Bryce attempt, and Tet still had to slow down for it. also don’t know how that wasn’t PI.

Again, I didn’t expect Penix to be a world beater, but I thought his floor was solid. He looks atrocious.

I think it may have been a case of two not great QBs dueling each other.

I didn’t even answer the quotes after I posted how ass Bryce is for that screen pass, because the mental gymnastics it requires to blame anyone else for that perfectly schemed and executed screen setup on Tet, at 6’5”, for not catching a bullet pass thrown at his fuging dick is not worth dignifying.
