I just don't think it's a data thing. There's no sure thing in the draft. Great college players that don't translate. Great athletes that don't translate. Guys who don't have great measurables but translate anyway. There's no foolproof blueprint to follow and that's why there's steals and busts every year.

Hell, I like Bryce. He seems like a really good guy. It was just very obvious watching him at Bama that his physical skill set was marginal at best at the NFL level.

By all accounts? The damn thread is about the player the pass went to literally saying the original play call was a better option. How can you cope THIS hard?

Yeah, no more dinners please. Tepper and company RAVED about the dinner conversations of both Rhule and Bryce. It was HUGE in the evaluation of both. Folks, we're looking for football people. I'm not trying to figure out if I want you dating my daughter.

Gonna get fixed right here. Keenan Allen just coughed up a fumble.

I think Tepper thought the S2 test was some kind of QB evaluation cheat tool and he convinced himself that QB was such a cerebral position that actual physical talent took a distant backseat to mental ability. Unfortunately, there are physical prerequisites. There are plenty of guys who weren't very good QBs as players who have become very good coaches. It wasn't a lack of mental ability, they didn't have the physical ability.

Ouch. I think the refs botched that spot. I think Lamar got that ball past the sticks. I guess the Ravens didn't want to "waste" a challenge figuring it was a gimme to convert on 4th and inches but oops, they turn it over on downs. Should've thrown that red flag.

I think he let the good headlines go to his head. I can't help but think back to the preseason that after getting treated like a speed bump out there he'd be all smiles on the sidelines and talk about how great everything was going when interviewed and the Huddle attitude was largely the same. LOL! Preseason doesn't matter. Real fans know this. Well look so much better once we start game planning. Same vibes from the staff and front office. Meanwhile, I'm sitting here watching the guys who are supposed to be our best players looking like fresh ripe dog poo and thinking... uh, this is far from fine. The red flags are flying high and flying everywhere.

It's less about the best team and more about peaking at the right time.

No. Bringing back Marty Hurney is honestly the only thing that ever came anywhere close.

Be prepared to keep that energy next season. I know I am.

Wow. And that penalty on the Chargers OL was very weak. That was a really shitty string of events from this ref crew.

Man, that looked like a very obvious late hit out of bounds. And a Chargers OL ends up getting a personal foul penalty after the play protecting his QB. Refs really botched that one.

I'll take great feet over great arm length all day everyday. Ideal arm length is more of a want than a need IMO. If you don't have the feet to stay in front of them you're beat no matter what.

Yep. Their luck ran out when they ran into a bad call on Bradberry. I think it happens earlier than the SB this year.

They played scared on D in OT. Soft as poo. But you can't have that QB/WR miscommunication on a wide ass open TD. They lost the game right there.

I still say their luck runs out when it matters most. They flame out in the playoffs

That was some pathetic second half and OT D from McD's squad. I actually like Philly's team but I hate for that gutter trash fanbase to experience the slightest of joy.

I blame David Tepper. Coaches keep changing. Players keep changing. Tepper is the constant and the results remain the same. Hopefully I'm wrong and it's all on Fitts.

Oof. Miscommunication between the QB and WR might have just cost the Bills the game. WR ran a corner and Allen threw a go.

I think big boy is just dying of exhaustion after that.

I said in the game thread that I don't care about the PFF grade when you're getting beat BAD multiple times per game. It's like a RB that gains a bunch of yards but has fumblitis. At the end of the day if you're a fumbler you're not a good RB. If you're a LT that gets smoked multiple times per game you're not a good LT.

How is that not pass interference?

They're pulling poo out of their ass to win games they're getting dominated in on the boxscore. I just don't think it's sustainable. Live by the luck end up dying by the luck.

LOLOLOL Told ya. This team is using up ALL their luck and they're gonna end up getting bounced in the first playoff game.
