Bear Hands

14/24 for 54 passing yards, 0 TDs, 1 INT - that's 2.3 YPA In what was essentially a playoff game. Holy hell folks.

That's true. He often bails after a 1st or 2nd read and commits to a scramble when he should still be navigating the pocket and surveying. He has an extra half to near full second to advance in the air. He either throws away, in the dirt, or gains a few yards (sometimes has a good scramble). Still, our offense is not designed to have many quick hits outside of a few designed screens to the outside.

That's where I'm going with this. Put the QB aside, you should be scheming your weapons open. Getting guys space against zone. You've got strong skill position players. Diversify, work in misdirections and motions. It's a lot of bland zone running and mesh concepts. Peppered in with PA setups. Honestly, not far off what Reich was trying to do, just with a bit more pin & pull and outside zone.

It's just so frustrating. It's just a bad situation to be in.

With how this season is going, we're gonna squeak by next week and get absolutely embarrassed in the playoffs. Extend Young, go into mediocre purgatory for the foreseeable future.

Today presented us with the following scenario: We win, we can win the division (Miami just clinched victory) We lose, it means NOTHING. Just retry next week. This was an all-in type scenario. Give them the best you've got. We're at home. Be aggressive against a shaky Darnold under pressure. Push the ball downfield. Get vertical. Get creative. Show us everything you've got. This is for the playoffs. AND THIS IS WHAT WE GOT. THIS IS WHAT THEY CHOSE TO DO. Dink and dunk spectacular with Bryce getting us nowhere. One of his worst performances and absolutely dogsh*t pathetic coaching. Canales has finally been put in my doghouse along with Bryce, Chuba and Horn. This was embarrassing all-around. Terrible football. Defense played well, OL did good enough. Awful gameplan, terrible QB-limiting play, terrible mistakes from undisciplined players. Awful. Eye-gouging painful.

Not exclusively, I agree. Bryce, Chuba, Horn, and the coaches all just didn't want to win. If THIS is what all in, loss has no consequence, type gameplan looks like, we need a sh*t ton of work. This was an abomination by Canales and Young of incredible proportions.

Horn directly cost us a shot at this. Terrible.

Horn has been a liability 3 weeks in a row now. Really dissapointing.

The biggest issue here is that the playoff scenario in this game should allow us to be as aggressive as possible. A loss does nothing, no matter what the Bucs do. A win + bucs loss is the division, and playoffs. So DC should have mapped out an aggressive and vertical gameplan. They are inching downfield with sh*t. It is pathetic.

We need to stay aggressive as possible. A loss means absolutely nothing. See what this kid is made of.

We should be going for 4th at every 4th we get from here on out unless its in our own 30 yl. This game is meaningless with loss but everything with a win.

It's just so disappointing how we're being led into this territory where management will keep him at the very least, next year. But he significantly limits what an offense can do. Everyone knows it. Everyone. We've been slow walking into mediocre purgatory this entire season as DB, the rookies and FAs have really helped take the team forward. You have to work around him rather than with him. Canales is pretty bland, but you can't even see what he's made of either. It's soo freaking annoying.

Been mostly out of pocket but this is the most frustrating team ever. You can see the potential for the young guys, but we are so incredibly capped by these limiting, unchangeable factors.

I think Wallace could be very solid if he has a main guy next to him. That’s what this next draft is presenting. Very much like finding a Willis for Bowman. Wallace is more of a Bowman— which (if he meets his ceiling) is my comp for him. Need our Patrick Willis. Funny enough, that was on a squad with Evero as a coach.

How dare you

Yeah absolutely. This past draft was stellar. We were due for one - the PFF guy and Tillis really helped out Dan Mo and I think it’s paid off dividends.

McMillan, Nic, Ransom and Fitz are here to stay and I love it

He’s solid. Filled in well for Bakhtiari in GB. Has some hiccups but he’s a good piece to haves don’t need to make him a starter necessarily.

Looks like it's gonna be Seahawks vs. 49ers for the #1 seed, w/the Bears having an outside shot.

That's a finish

Good game so far. Solid trench battles, two young well built defenses, and my 2 fave coaches. Stafford is really damn good. SEA OL is overperforming.

We haven't had the Browns, Texans, Broncos, or Eagles on the schedule so the Seahawks game is going to be a huge test. A test to see if this offense is simple a bad one that had a few good weeks. That defense is fierce. Huge test for our young crew. The Bucs have been a roller coaster like us, but I think Bucky, Evans and Godwin being back is a slow burn, they may be finding a delayed rhythm. They've had some bad weeks but it'll be hard to tame their arsenal. If we can win 1 of 3 and end 8-9, I honestly wouldn't be mad. 9-8 and miss the playoffs, not terrible dissapointed, 9-8 and get that 4 seed, then, we hope we don't embarrass ourselves in January.

We were in the lead by a score 17-10 late in the 4th. Once the Saints tied it up, we had the chance for a GWD. We were in control and handed it to them on each side of the ball, coaching, players, all of the above.

For me, it boils down to who has issues that are more limitations/restrictive than surmountable/correctable. And with that said, it is Bryce. It doesn’t discount he’s been good a few times this year, relative to what we’ve seen. But there’s certain things he can’t change, and it limits what the offense can do. And the impact is just way too much for my liking. Sure, I’d love to bring in Jesse Minter and find a McDonald/SEA approach, but Canales doesn’t seem entirely unflinching in his ways. He seems open enough to adjustments. Evero, I don’t dislike him to the extent that I see but get the frustration. A big problem is still our personnel and some of his playcalling, but we’ve seen much worse. (Trgovac). My philosophy is not who shows me the most at their best, but who shows me the most at the worst. And Bryce’s worst has been indescribably bad with so little flashes; for as nice as it would be to see a redemption arc out of bust status.
