Yup. And I actually pushed for us signing/trading for him or Mariota before we ever went after Darnold or Baker. Smh...

I'm so tired of YGM. fuging dummy.

Good play, DB.

But the crazy part is, I watched Baker in Cleveland some, and watched quite a bit of him in college, and he just wasn't this bad.

And I was heavily pushing the Baker hype in the offseason. He is ass, man. I've tried to be patient, but the poo he is missing is EASY. Those are the throws that are afterthoughts for franchise QBs. That extends that deive there... easy pass. Instead, it's incomplete and we give them the ball back. Hard to generate consistent offense when you can't sustain drives bc the QB can't hit easy throws.

Baker fuging sucks.

And Jeremy Chinn guarding the entrance gates.

Yeah, I immediately thought, "Millen clearly hasn't been watching our games in preparation for this one."

Quick!!! Name the last time you saw one of Phil Snow's zero blitzes work on 3rd down! And gooooo!

Yeah, I kept wondering why the Rams had let him go. It's just crazy because most punters don't fall off a cliff like that with their leg strength, but it looks like he has.

Illegal chop block

Welp, there's Donte Jackson again, who many bashed me for saying we should've re-signed Gilmore over.

It's like our guys are just never aware. Chinn makes that great tip and Burns just loafing behind.

Yup, Kamara about to have a 300 combined yardage game.

Man... The more I watch him, the more I realize, Hekker is not what he used to be.

Oh no, we suck again!

We run the absolute worst bootlegs and screens.

Ahh! Thank you for clarifying, brother!

"Becommmmming?!?!"

There's no way this poo turns around under Rhule. I never thought any circumstances would ever lead me to pull for us to lose if we weren't already eliminated from playoff contention, but Matt Rhule changed all of that. And typically, these are the kind of wins we get (you know, the ones that are only good for extending our misery), but we need to lose Sunday.

This. I advocated trading CMC since last season. It just doesn't make sense to invest big money in RBs in today's NFL. No matter how good they are, it almost always causes huge problems to give them big money. The best teams are constantly turning over that position, as it should be.

I have been a MJ fan since I was a child, and despite my criticisms of him, I've held onto hope that he would figure it out as an owner here, but it just seems like we're spinning our wheels. I don't know how I would feel about it... but I also don't know how Simmons would know this.

But again, I maintain, if we did it more often, I'd be more inclined to credit the coaches. Our players typically make plays in spite of them, but Rhule's trying to make it look like we're on the verge of greatness because of these stats he handpicked, and that's not the case. For every good stat he throws out there to pat himself on the back, there are 7 more stats that show our offense has been absymal and dysfunctional. So, I'm not giving him credit for that. And as I mentioned in a another post earlier in this thread, when the cameras and mics went live, he was still going on about that recovered fumble that CMC ran for 39 yards or whatever it was in week 1 and how that should've counted as a rush, and if it did, we would have had 89 yards instead of 40. That's why I won't credit him for anything... he desperately wants to sell how close we are, and coaching-wise, we're not. With Norv and Scott Turner, CMC stayed healthy and put up record-setting numbers. Here, he relies on one or two big plays a game to boost up rather average numbers because the coaching and scheme sucks.

I didnt say that was a broken play. I just said it was a greater credit to the players than the playcalling. If we did it more often, I'd be more inclined to give the coaches more credit.

I agree with you there... every team is trying to set themselves up for that one big gash or deep bomb... the "explosives" as the football world likes to call them these days. And yes, they are the outliers. But I'm just not giving that to Rhule in this scenario because we aren't like other teams. He hasn't shown a consistent ability to make those plays happen or set up a defense so that we can hit them with an explosive later. We have one of, if not the worst offense in the league under Rhule. So, when we get big plays, I think it's more because of the players doing an extraordinary job rather than him or McAdoo dialing up something amazing on purpose. The fact we've only played 3 WRs for almost the entire game the first two weeks, ran the same plays multiple times, only ran two personnel groupings for the entire game in week 1, and the fact ESPN analysts could find that we were tipping our plays just by alignment of the RB makes it awfully hard to give Rhule any credit for anything.
