I think it's safe for defenses to assume if he audibles, if they know what is a pass vs a run call, he is always going to default to something short. Smh... He played much better, but if this is the kind of offense we have to run for him to be comfortable, I'm still not hopeful about the future.

We deserved to miss that for Reich electing to kick a FG instead of going for it. fuging pussy. I fuging hate Tepper.

Amazing we acquired Gilmore for peanuts and elected to extend Donte over him just so he could get burned for the next 2 seasons between injuries. Lol and there was so many here who attacked me for voicing what a mistake that move was.

Agreed, but when the receiver beat his cover, it's exponentially easier than a lot of "on a rope" throws. We see guys practice it every year in TC. It's just dropping it in a bucket. Not saying it's easy, but it's a routine throw, and my issue is that he hasn't been close on any 20+ yard throws of that variety and all we get is excuses. At some point, you just gotta nut up and make a throw.

Ok, coach. Lmk how the Finals go.

One of us knew the WNBA was playing today, and it wasn't me.

Viska is our most dangerous weapon... they've misused him all year, finally start utilizing him today, and now he gets injured. Our franchise is cursed.

Yeah, our whole team needs to change cleats at half.

That pressure wasn't enough to affect that throw. He literally completed a pass he's comfortable with on one of those early drives with a defender hanging on him as he released it. He also threw a pass to Hurst, at least within his catch radius, in the endzone while getting drilled on an earlier drive. That was an easy toss in the bucket bc Chark already beat his man, Bryce just had to give him a chance and he didnt. Now, Bryce has made some good throws today, but he still has yet to make those throws when they're open and it's a big problem. Until he does, teams are not going to respect it. He's still only shown that he's comfortable throwing in the middle of the field up to 15 yards max.

I expected the fake there, but if Hekker could've led Viska a little instead of him having to reach back for it, that's an easy first down. Not mad at it.

I didnt pay much attention to Scoot during SL, but I have heard he is impressing. I watched what I could of Miller since SL and he has not been impressive at all, so go ahead and prepare yourself to adjust expectations and support accordingly - our franchises can not get out of their own way.

I dont think Miller will amount to much more than a rotational player, honestly... but, that being said, he could be the second coming of Paul George this season, and he still wouldn't get poo for playing time under Clifford. That's just the way the cookie crumbles.

This. What does "what are some doing to Bryce" even mean? We're fans. So unless he's talking about booing, there jsnt anything else we can "do" to him. I think he's likely alluding to something with the coaching.

I really like McDaniel, but I think this is just pre-game fluff. Literally almost everything he cited, Bryce has actually demonstrated the opposite in games. Maybe he's talking about him from a perspective of what he sees as strengths that he feels Bryce possesses that he knows he could utilize if he was coaching him? In that case, I understand him seeing things that we haven't. But idk...

What is the deal with Williams? Why isn't he playing? I thought he was highly regarded, so why is he continuously mentioned for being moved?

I almost gave up following or watching ever again. That hurt so bad. I know it's just football, but I will never get over that loss/robbery. It was ours and it was stolen from us.

This. Tepper us an asshole, and if he humiliated himself, somebody else is gonna answer for it.

Okay over/under drops to 47 instead of 50.

De Nile isn't just a river in Egypt.

Maybe there's more of it going on now bc of the stretch we're in, but it's not new. I've been here since 2004, just a few months from the inception of the site, and we've had countless posters disappear. And I mean quality, well-liked, popular posters. They still post on Twitter and such, and some have occasionally checked back in after years of being gone and then disappear again to never be seen or heard from on the huddle again. I still remember some from those early 2000s and their avis and names... but as someone else said, some of it is just the fact that internet forums aren't what they used to be, and on top of that the team has never been this bad for this long, and so people are forced to reevaluate what's important and how much time to spend on things they care about. Our team is making it an easy decision on whether they're worth the investment or not.

Wouldn't you expect he should already have a grasp on this by now and it wouldn't have taken getting our ass blown off by Detroit in week 5 to figure it out?

To go from what Chinn did his rookie year to getting 18 snaps now... this poo is baffling. And we're even thin at MLB. Why not move him back there?

He might not have asked for it, but if he didn't feel he was capable of living up to the expectations then he should've let them know and gracefully bowed out of the runnin for #1. But he didn't. So is he gonna return his salary? No. So it's hard to feel bad for the guy. At the same time, the staff and FO believed in him and went all in on him, confident that he was worthy of the #1 overall pick and of being a franchise QB. So in terms of whether to feel bad for him or not, or considering if expectations were unrealistic or too high - I'm sorry, brother, but this is the modern day NFL. If we take a player at #1, we expect you to change the direction of our franchise for the better. We expect you to set the tone and team culture. For better or worse, that's what comes with being the #1 overall pick now, so it wasn't unfair or unrealistic. And again, if he didn't feel he could live up to that, he should've let them know in the pre-draft process.

Amazing how guys have spotless reputations before getting here and now it's everybody's fault but the people actually responsible. Jefferson isn't the problem.

It's gotta be Caldwell, Evero, or Brown. Someone that is already here on the staff. But I agree about Johnson and anyone else worth their salt on the outside, and have said as much in other threads - we have reached the point now with Tepper's meddling that no coach with the ability to turn the culture around here is going to come here - EVEN if we overpay. Our reputation precedes us at this point. It's bad.
