SOJA

Anyone could have predicted Payton was going to try to run up the score on us, many of on the Huddle did pregame. But I appreciate Jaycee's heart. At least he cares. Don't know if you can say the same about everyone on this team

there has to be some improvement moving forward with Canales. He's a rookie HC so I expected growing pains but the offense is regressing and the team doesn't seem prepared. We have a loser mentality and culture here, largely thanks to David Tepper's decisions. every other team in the league licks their chops to play us bc they know they are going to dogwalk us and if they go up by 10 points the game is over. I think what we truly need is a culture builder here: Dan Campbell, Jim Harbaugh, Mike Vrable type. I will be interested to see what Tepper does come seasons end but if history tells us anything he's almost certain to make the wrong call no matter what he decides.

Our defense is so bad we are out of every game by halftime. That being said Bryce still looks like Bryce. Outside of one down field throw to XL I haven't seen him throw further than ten yards He misses Mingo on a wide open wheel

I see a lot of optimism out there on twitter before this game. I want to get out of front of this. The Broncos are a well coached competent team with a good defense. We are going to get clapped

I'd be so in for the Panthers getting relegated right now. We are an embarrassment

WR is going to be a need next year as well. Not that I'm upset about that but man this team has a lot of holes

it certainly is my friend

hopefully a trade back but if not I see Mason Graham

lmao

Also kelvin benjamin for literally giving up on the route and subsequent pick 6 in which Cam injured his shoulder When you think about it: Cam is 35. If he never hurts that shoulder he is probably still our QB. Ah who am I kidding Rhule would have cut him because he was a sniveling coward and scared Cam would be a bigger presence in the locker room

nods sadly

I mean I understand that from his agent's standpoint. WRs are getting PAID right now. Why wouldn't they want him to hit the open market this offseason

fuging lol

I'm actually ok if they stand pat unless a team offers us something worthwhile. We haven't won a trade in a long time (except the Dionte deal and the Rams trade). It's ok to not have to be in on every deal when you get screwed everytime If we trade Dionte we aren't likely to get better than a fifth rounder. I feel like if he gets paid elsewhere this offseason we could get a better comp pick anyway

Tepper is like a degenerate gambler. He goes to Vegas with 100 dollars in his pocket. Instead of picking and choosing his spots he goes to the roulette table and immediatley puts 100 on a specific number. This of course doesn't work. Now he sees all his buddies having a great time so he goes and pulls another 100 out. This time however he puts it all on red to get back in on the action and loses again. So he goes back and pulls out another 100...

exactly. It was the first of many tepper moves of deleting something but instead of just embracing the tank giving up resources to patch work the hole he just made. This has been continued ad nauseum since that year.

Incorrect. In my thesis on David Tepper I will elaborate on this further. If we draft Fields that year there is no reason to give up capital for Sam Darnold (2,4,6) and no reason to trade a future third for matt corral the next year. So we could have had Fields + a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th round pick. And yet we wonder why this team has no depth. Further and most importantly....there would have been no sense in trading up for bryce. We would have been entering year 3 with fields. If he had sucked the year prior we would have had a top 3 pick. If he had been decent with Steve Wilks we likely make the playoffs or come close but either way we do not trade up. If he sucked last year then we would have ended up with Williams, Daniels or Maye. By passing on Fields when he fell to us we ultimately doomed ourselves for the future.

There has been so many but in order IMO 1- The trade up AND selecting Bryce. I put both here because basically if we chose either not to trade up we end up with Caleb Williams, Drake Maye or Jayden Daniels. If we still trade up but we take CJ Stroud that would have been worth it. Either way if either of those two factors go differently we are an entire differently organization. 2- Not taking Justin Fields when we had the chance. Not only did we trade for Darnold before the draft. We could have just sat where we were taken Fields. Let him develop under Teddy for a year and see what we had. We save the picks from the Darnold deal but more importantly....THERE would have been no need to trade up for Bryce OR trade away CMC as we still would have been giving Fields his fair shot. Further if Fields had sucked here last year we would have ended up with Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels or Drake Maye As you can see Tepper has a cost us Williams, Daniels or Maye TWICE by his level of impatience. Now the most precious point about number two is, there is a very real chance we sign Justin Fields this offseason 3- not just keeping Cam Newton for the last year of his contract. This is truly when our downward spiral / constant moving towards a new QB started. If we keep Cam that year we likely suck very badly as it is Rhule's first year and Cam would be hurt and we likely end up with Trevor Lawrence

Great point

I don't think we should trade him fwiw then we also have to address LT against tons of other needs

Justin Fields makes the most sense. Steelers look like they won't re-sign him and he would be the immediate starter for us. We could lean into a heavy running game with him and focus all resources on defense in the draft. The other benefit is if he doesn't work out who cares 2026 QB draft might be nice

Yea if you're going to bet a spread just take the Broncos at like -20.5. Chances they win by three TDs is pretty good.

i've tried but I literally just can't not watch the games. it is literally an addiction. I wish I could just stop caring. This reads sarcastic as fug but it's not

I see this all over the internet right now and I want to clarify something both Bryce, Dalton and our offense being bad are not mutually exclusive. It's much more likely that all three are bad

I'm happy for Sam At first I hated the trade, then I talked myself into it, then I hated it again But when I matured is when I realized it wasn't Sam's fault. He had Matt Rhule coaching him and then when Wilks took over he looked not bad. I don't think he'd be the player today without Shannhan and now KOC grooming him though. He needed an actual talented offensive mind.
