What?!?! How are you blaming him for getting tackled mid route?

Where is the flag?!?!?!

shocking, XL with a mental mistake penalty

Gotta make that tackle, but looked like a clear hands to the face on Pickens before the catch

Would be nice, but my money would still be on Egbuka unfortunately if it's going to be a WR. Godwin hurt again, Evans still not back, and Baker throwing it around like he's Drew Brees. With the stats he's already put up, I think he ends up winning it unless Dart ends up going ham the rest of the year and wins it because he's a QB

Who would have ever thought that throwing to your best red zone target when you're in the red zone would be a good idea? Might have taken us 6 weeks to figure it out, but we're finally getting there!!!

sweet Jesus, it worked, but why the fug are we running it there again on 3rd down with someone other than Rico with how he's running today? Hard to knock Canales for a play that worked, but I did not like that call

Then that's very different, but no matter how the rest of the season goes, that has to be an offseason thing, not an in season extension like Hubbard last year.

Sure, but we can't be paying decent money for 2 RBs in 2026, on top of the recent draft picks, when our defense still has so many needs. It's not about long term cap questions, it's about the overall quality of our roster next year.

Nice run Jimmy, but maybe next time don't try and run the much bigger defender over when you're one stop from the sideline, just step out instead of ending up getting yourself trucked, it's a good way to get hurt.

I'm not defending him, it was 100% a drop on him. But if you watch the replay, it seemed pretty clear that he was starting to turn his head before securing the catch, the same thing as his previous 2 drops. That's 100% a concentration thing and not a hands thing, it's just objectively analyzing what I'm seeing, but it's still not defending him

Terrible call, but I did think it was PI downfield, weird for that one to be picked up but call that roughing

Not sure it's hate as much as nerves. There is a large portion of the fan base (myself included) that is 100% convinced he'll never be a legitimately good starting QB in this league. While sure, I'd love it if he just flipped a switch and becomes one, as it's the quickest way for us to get back to relevance. We're nervous when he puts up the one decent game because it might trick the team into thinking he can still become something and it gives him an extra year that he shouldn't get. It's not rooting against him, it's fear that he's going to do what he did last year, just enough to get another season that he shouldn't be getting.

Well, our actual best WR is also part of why he was wide open, as they had him doubled with bracketed coverage instead of one of them keeping an eye on Rico running right past them all into the open space.

Ehhhhh, I need to see more info about Hubbard's contract before I'm okay with giving Rico an extension. We've drafted 2 RBs in the last two years and gave a sizable contract to Hubbard, it almost doesn't matter what Rico does this year, unless we can get out of that contract without much of a cap hit, not sure we can afford to re-sign Rico given all our defensive needs.

Dowdle putting it on his old team, wow

No, because they're not drops because of his hands, all 3 of his drops this year were because of concentration issues. It's not ideal, but it's something that isn't crazy for a player in only their 6th career game, he'll get them worked out.

This is going to be a wild prediction if it comes true, but I think we see our first T-Mac WR Pass off the season today. Was thinking about these fake deep jet sweeps they've sent him on a few times already today, which really make no sense to do with him instead of Horn or XL. Makes me think they're using it as a set up to throw it back to him and then have him throw it to someone downfield. Besides trying to set up that trick play, there's no reason to ever send him in that motion, wouldn't be a total shock to see them have him throw a pass out of that motion.

Not sure he was able to catch it

I mean, maybe, but after this last play, makes me think he might have caught it, stopped, and threw a Hail Mary 40 yards backwards back to Bryce to then run with it. Good lord XL

My god, XL has the WORST football IQ I've ever seen, what the fug was that?!?!?!?!?!

Yea, I edited the post, just made that quickly before I saw the flag and didn't see the penalty during the live play. I may be a Bryce basher, but I can admit when something wasn't on him too lol

Oh c'mon Bryce, how do you miss such an open WR by THAT much!??!?! EDIT: Nevermind, after seeing the replay that clearly wasn't on Bryce and why there was the penalty, my bad Bryce (on this one at least)

The defender was literally pulling him down by the jersey as he was trying to jump for the ball, that's 100% a clear cut PI every single time, there is no way to look at that play and think it wasn't a penalty, sorry

Facts This one was definitely a penalty, but the one they picked up the flag last week was way worse
