He hasn’t won anything yet. Frittering away TD opportunities.

I was saying a couple of weeks ago, the real SB is often a conference championship game.

54 yards passing vs Seattle. edit: Maye has 56.

I’m watching it on radio but it sounds like a Bryce game.

Of course it is. It also sucks hard having to wait years for them to get a clue.

We’ll see. One play turns this into a game.

If you can’t get a TD on 4 trips down, you are flirting with a bad outcome.

Story so far to me is 3 FGs no TDs. Three trips down, 9 points. Dominated them too, and only up 9. Pats getting the ball to start the 3rd qtr.

Not even half over. Super Bowls, sometimes the floodgates open and it isn’t a defensive slug fest any more. I have thought about 2004 us vs Pats how it was nothing until it started to be a track meet.

Tight sphincters right now.

Yeah, he has been good for maybe two years out of what, 8 years as owner? The first year where he focused on the business side, this year. Some of last year I guess. So 3 years, tops. The rest of his ownership has been him dragging us down while he makes mistake after mistake. seriously, all of our futility rests on him. Years of it.

This is true. I think his head is swimming most of the time.

The arrangement not necessarily the singer. Who did a fine job. And I think may have also put the arrangement together.

I am not really either. No love for either one. But I admit I am pulling Darnold to play well and not wilt.

Lol what’d you expect? Get ready for 4 hour ordeal.

Okay, the version I just heard (radio) of the Star Spangled Banner may have been the best arrangement of that I have ever heard. Loved it.

Italian sausage peppers onions provolone on a roll. Beers, couple tequila shots.

He just isn’t very smart, and shouldn’t be doing interviews. That was a bunch of the wrong way to answer the questions. It is good to see where his head is at. Not that I am happy to hear his viewpoint, he has a come to Jesus moment waiting. I sort of agree that they have not used him like he was used in college or like I expected them to use him when we took him. But that is him sticking his foot in his mouf big time.

He played well enough in the Wild Card to satisfy me, in spite of what he can never be as a QB. I mean, I could deal with him if that was the baseline. His history shows that he is wildly inconsistent, and suggests that the Wild Card was not his baseline it is an outlier. He did raise his ceiling this year and I suspect he can similarly improve next year but it is a very slow climb. It was marginal improvement. And floor is the big problem anyway not his ceiling. The 5th year, you can cut him after 2026 and spread the 26.4 mil or whatever it is, over two years. So it should not be crippling.

Says some tone deaf stuff out the gate. I mean I don’t really disagree with him on some of it, but he has no self awareness there. People want to hear him say the cliche stuff “it is all on me, I have to be better” etc. And Cam is taking him round the mulberry bush with the long question.. I’m watching XL try to follow him.

I think he needs to work on his strength. Of course, his hands. I have seen him open, I am not sweating his route running as hard as I could sweat it. He is in line for significantly fewer snaps. Smaller role. Especially if they add to the room. I’d settle for some 50/50 downfield success and general improvement, that people can see. Just get himself trending up. If his hands were better he could do a lot of what a receiving TE could do. Get his brain out of the way maybe he executes with the hands. If he could just be better at coming down with the ball he could be a contributor. I guess bottom line for me is his money is guaranteed and it will cost to roster a new WR on top of that - I’d give him this camp and probably at least up to the trade deadline. And I’m sorry but the QB needs to tighten his part of the deal too. They don’t seem to be relating to each other very well.

Good. So the only poison is more money than we want to match. I’d still like to try and buy it out at a discount with a two year deal and not have to deal with it.

I have seen people answer wake-up calls and seen people disregard them and roll over and keep snoozing. He definitely got a big wake up call. We are about to find out what he is made of.

Happy for Luke. He earned it. I can’t think of many who are more deserving.

Okay he played the nice guy hands off patriarchal owner. Best kind to have. The trick in a business like that is you can’t get too attached. He looks pretty attached. I don’t think the real bottom line has changed, he is sold on Bryce. We are probably screwed unless Bryce can morph into really good Bryce every week.
